Absolute nonsense is something you spout incessantly.

The Inquisition primarily targeted heretics (false converts), some Jewish but mainly Muslim. The Muslims were only there because of earlier military invasions and battles which all featured mass violence and death. The occupation was never forgotten or forgiven. The Muslims were expelled and the inquisition saw the last of them out.

I really don't understand why you are trying to portray the Spanish Inquisition as a revenge for the Muslim invasion (which took place 700 years earlier) or some kind of ethnic or religious cleansing.

It surely was connected to the centuries-long conflict known as the Reconquista (the Christian reconquest of Spain), yet its primary goals were not retaliatory but more likely political consolidation of a new Kingdom and targeting Converts, not Invaders as it legally only had power over baptized Catholics.

Most of the victims were actually Jews and not Muslims.

However let's get back on topic and the threat that one in six Brits see in the Muslim population.

Interestingly here on the forum their numbers seem to be much higher.

My previous arguments, which you have not commented on, stand, which are, if you're not happy with people migrating to your country maybe you shouldn't destroy their countries in the first place.

And I'm not talking about some invasion 1300 years ago, I am talking about the illegal wars and the millions of deaths caused by the West in Muslim countries in the last few decades.

So whatever you're accusing Muslims of, it is nothing, absolutely nothing compared to what we did to them.

More nonsense and I'm not accusing anyone. The Reconquista is history. Muslim conquests from Iberia to India over 1300 years are all relevant, then and now. And you talk of illegal wars!

The topic concerns the growth of the Muslim population as a possible fundamental threat to UK culture. Perhaps after the repeated bombings, knife violence and rapes then maybe it's not surprising that hostile attitudes towards Muslims risk becoming increasingly common?
