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

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.


> It is pretty obvious how they are intertwined.

Instead repeating the same thing in multiple messages you might at some point consider saying HOW do you think they are related. Because yes its obvious that they are, on its own that is saying very little.

> ignorant they actually gaslite me.

Because its very hard to understand what specific points are you trying to make?
