Which group was persecuted first by the Inquisition?
The Holy Office of the Inquisition (Papal Inquistion) was concerned with heresy and heretics. In 1478, Spain set up its own Inquistion - the Spanish Inquisition. Initially, its sole function was to find insincere converts from Judaism. This was soon extended to insincere converts from Islam. Spain had a problem entirely of its own making: in the interests of uniformity, it put immense pressure on its large Jewish and Muslims to convert to Christianity. Those who refused were ultimately expelled from Spain. Later, the role of the Spanish Inquistion widened.

What were the Jews in Spain required to do in 1492?
The Spanish Inquisition was intended to identify, and remove, those "conversos" who were fake Catholics. After the Catholics defeated the last Muslim strong-hold (Grenada), the Church in Spain instituted the Spanish Inquisition to root-out all persons merely pretending to be Catholics for whatever personal, political power or financial reason that was the root-cause of their pretending, dishonestly, to be Catholic. In fact, the Jews in Spain appealed to the pope at that time to intervene. Pope did -- told the Church in Spain to cease and desist. Church in Spain refused to obey which is similar to what still occurs today. WHAT SPECIFICALLY DID THE JEWS HAVE TO DO WITH THE SPANISH INQUISITION? Nothing. They were mistreated victims by the majority of Spaniards (Catholics) who pretty much wanted everyone -- who was not a Catholic -- out of Spain. After hundreds of years of Muslim rule, and finally defeating the Muslims, the Spanish Catholics trusted no one -- including Jews. In fact, after the final liberation of Spain, Protestant Christians also tried to come to Spain and convert Catholics. They too were not permitted in Spain. This was the time of the Reformation elsewhere in Europe. Spanish Inquisition was wrong. In hindsight, it was also understandable.
What court killed Jews and Muslims?
The answer you are looking for is "the Spanish Inquisition", but technically this is not correct. Jews and Muslims who refused to convert to Catholicism in 1492 in Spain and 1497 in Portugal and equally refused to leave those countries were executed by the government and were not brought before the Inquisition Court. Therefore, it is improper to say that the Inquisition Court killed them since it never "reviewed" their cases. The jurisdiction of the court was "only" over those people who, at least outwardly, claimed to be Catholics and was looking primarily at former Jews and Muslims to see whether or not they had actually had a change of heart. Most suspects were tortured and later executed in thoroughly barbaric procedures, but since these individuals were nominally Christian, it is incorrect to claim that the court killed Jews and Muslims.

How many people were executed by the Inquisition?
Roman Catholic Answer: Few Jews died during the Spanish Inquisition. As a matter of fact, despite the overheated hype developed by anti-Catholics during the last several centuries, very few people died during the Inquisition. As for Jews, the Inquisition only had authority over professed Catholics. In Spain, at that time, there were not a few Jews who "converted" to the Catholic Church for one reason or another. St. Teresa of Avila came from a family of Jews who had converted. Those who used their conversion for purely political reasons, and were not sincere Catholics came under investigation by the Inquisition, but, even then, very few were turned over to the State - only the State had the authority to execute anyone, and anyone turned over to the state for treason was always accompanied by a plea for mercy. For a complete discussion of this please read "Seven Lies About Catholic History" by Diane Moczar.
