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.

Why did the spanish Jew welcome the muslin invasion?

Answer 1Possibly because initially, at last, Muslims were more tolerant of Jews than were early Christians, who maintained that the Jews had killed their Saviour.Answer 2Jews assisted Muslims in their conquests throughout the Rise of Islam period. A great example of this was when the Muslims captured the city of Cordoba. They approached the Jewish community, gave them weapons, and asked them to be the stewards of the city until the Conquest of Spain was complete. The Jews sided with the Muslims because pogroms under Muslim rule occurred far less than in Europe. Additionally, as Jews were not Christians, Muslims did not fear any Jewish insurrection whereas they did fear Christian insurrections, making the Muslims more open and trusting of Jews. Because of this Jews and Muslims had minimal confrontation in Islamic Empires.
