and the inquisition, at least as we know it is more of a 16th century thing.

you know, when the whole reformation thing started

Inquisition is far older than that. Started around the time of the Cathars

Jews in Spain had a hard time, the Spanish Inquisition is not the same institution as the Catholic Inquisition

And if Jews chose not to wear their distinctive clothes, they usually looked the same as everyone else

fuck the spanish

Ottoman Empire had to give Jews and Christians badges to identify them. The origin of the yellow star in fact.

Cortez did nothing wrong

all spaniards are inbred with goatfuckers

lazy, greedy, and moronic.

the reconquista took like what, 400 years?

The entire time was spent in warfare

And for the latter part, what became the final Muslim country in Iberia was actually paying tribute to Catholic kings just to be allowed to live

Tribute money which was used to liberate other territories from Muslim rule

one good thing came from it

the Alhambra palace

which is a monument to the skill of the builders, who transformed simple, cheap materials into something awesome.

It was more profitable to extort them to actually conquer them for a time

Look up the cuck catalan Miquel Puertas.

a "freedom fighter" pedo who was ousted from Donbass when they found out about his hobby.

but in all fairness, extorting them, is like stealing from a bum, at least in their final kicks.

They had access to Moroccan gold though

Their value wasn't from occupation of Spanish soil

didn't the moroccans severed ties to iberian emyrs at some point?

pretty sure I've read something about it, or at least that was the interpretation that I was given

If they weren't in Iberia then they can easily repel an invasion of North Africa, so can't extort them for gold

Interbreeding wasn't very common at all because remember that at the time >99% of western and central Europe was Catholic and we aren't allowed to marry outside of Christianity. There was no other Christian denomination except Orthodox after 1054. Nowadays we can marry Protestants etc.

In Islam, men can marry Jews and Christians, women can only marry Muslims

It's my general prejudice against moorbloods

had some bad blood with them.

Moors were dangerous people but not the masterminds

Often Moor referred to niggas

@everyone Bible study is still going ahead. ETA 15 HOURS

wtf is this shit

I'm a desk humper and my heavy 2 deadlift is 335 as of yesterday

heavy 1 has to be much higher than that by now

something tells me that when the average ground pounder's job wasn't to attend powerpoint presentations all day, this wouldn't have just been embarrassing

and holy shit

18 minute 2-mile run for "heavy physical demand unit/MOS"?

What's your MOS?
