Many Spanish converted, by their own will as described by Western Historians, when Spain was under control of Arabs during the early Islam dinasty. However, when Christians got control of the country, they either expelled the Muslims and Jews, or forced them to convert to Christianity, or they killed them. Accordingly, now Spain has the minimum % of Muslims in Europe (after the Vatican that having non as Muslims).
