description | The Spanish Inquisition was established as an official body blessed by the Roman Catholic
Church, because the Catholic rulers Isabella and Ferdinand were determined to rid Spain of
any heretics or non-Catholics. The greatest impact of the inquisition was the banishment of
Islam from Spain. Spain has been a vibrant civilization for six centuries, serving as the shield
of other religions. There was no divine guidance left untouched, or even a small group of
believers left. It has resulted in Islam being delayed in Christian Europe for several decades.
Even though Muslims have come to Europe in the last two centuries, Islam has been practiced
as a personal religion of worship and prayer, but never as a government that has protected
and enriched the lives of all religions, as we have seen during the Muslim rule of Andalusia.
The aim of this paper is specifically to discuss the policies of the Spanish Inquisition on the
Muslims in Andalusia. Muslim policies are discussed in great depth compared to other groups,
because they were the majority and most resistant to policies. The analysis of the impact of the
Inquisition is important to understand how Islam was eradicated from the Spanish society and
later re-emerged as a significant presence in Spain. |
