Better have something like the Al-Andalus civilization in Europe than the Spanish Inquisition
Spanish Inquisition is overblown.Those death charts were propaganda the brits were spreading.
"García Cárcel estimates that the total number prosecuted by the Inquisition throughout its history was approximately 150,000; applying the percentages of executions that appeared in the trials of 1560–1700—about 2%—the approximate total would be about 3,000 put to death. Nevertheless, some authors consider that the toll may have been higher, keeping in mind the data provided by Dedieu and García Cárcel for the tribunals of Toledo and Valencia, respectively, and estimate between 3,000 and 5,000 were executed.
[1] Other authors disagree and estimate a max death toll between 1% and 5%, (depending on the time span used) combining all the processes the inquisition carried, both religious and non-religious ones.
[116][146] In either case, this is significantly lower than the
number of people executed exclusively
for witchcraft in other parts of Europe during about the same time span as the Spanish Inquisition (estimated at c. 40,000–60,000).

Modern historians have begun to study the documentary records of the Inquisition. The archives of the Suprema, today held by the
National Historical Archive of Spain (Archivo Histórico Nacional), conserves the annual relations of all processes between 1540 and 1700. This material provides information for approximately 44,674 judgments. These 44,674 cases include 826 executions
in persona and 778
in effigie (i.e. an effigy was burned). This material is far from being complete—for example, the tribunal of Cuenca is entirely omitted, because no
relaciones de causas from this tribunal have been found, and significant gaps concern some other tribunals (e.g., Valladolid). Many more cases not reported to the Suprema are known from the other sources (i.e., no
relaciones de causas from Cuenca have been found, but its original records have been preserved), but were not included in Contreras-Henningsen's statistics for the methodological reasons.
[147] William Monter estimates 1000 executions between 1530 and 1630 and 250 between 1630 and 1730.
[148]
The archives of the Suprema only provide information about processes prior to 1560. To study the processes themselves, it is necessary to examine the archives of the local tribunals, the majority of which have been lost to the devastation of war, the ravages of time or other events. Some archives have survived including those of Toledo, where 12,000 were judged for offences related to heresy, mainly minor "blasphemy", and those of Valencia.
[149][150] These indicate that the Inquisition was most active in the period between 1480 and 1530 and that during this period the percentage condemned to death was much more significant than in the years that followed. Modern estimates show approximately 2,000 executions
in persona in the whole of Spain up to 1530.

Nah, just presentism in action. People act as if people from the past had to follow the same morality as the ultra left from the US and judge and condemn based on that instead of trying to understand the people of that time and their morality. It's just good talking points after all.
Exactly,these dumb motherfuckers don't know history.Muslims started invading Christian lands all over the place.The crusades were a response to muslim aggression.
