Why do people always ignore what happened before a few hundred years before? The Moors invaded Spain and were advancing into Europe and moved into what is modern day France. It also ignores that Muslims and Christians would in-fight between themselves in what is now modern day Spain.

Well... I was talking about about what was happening a few centuries ago.

Regardless why is it strictly relevant what happened 250-800 years before the Iberian kingdoms expelled or exterminated their Muslim and Jewish population?

> It also ignores that Muslims and Christians would in-fight between themselves

Seems tangential?

The Reconquista partially led to the Inquisition. The Reconquista started 711 and ended in 1492. How could it not be relevant?

Well you didn't say how and why is it relevant specifically. So I don't quite get the point.

Everything partially led to everything. We might as well talk how the Persian - Roman wars led to the Spanish Inquisition as well.

		I feel that you are being deliberately obtuse. It is pretty obvious how they are intertwined. I actually spoke to a friend of mine who basically knows a huge amount of history (he is at University doing some sort Masters in a related subject), because some of the replies on this subject in sibling threads are so ignorant they actually gaslite me.
