The Spanish Inquisition
Originally the sole purpose of the Spanish Inquisition was to sniff out bogus converts from Judaism to Christianity, so perhaps the Inquisition?
Many Muslims and Jews were forced out of Spain..Catholic AnswerThe primarily result of the Spanish Inquisition is that the protestant heresy was kept out of Spain, and the Spanish were protected from its evil influence.

Some possible words include:inclusion - an addition or part of a group or listinquisition - an inquiry on biased or specious grounds(from the Spanish Inquisition, a Catholic movement against Jews in Spain)
Yes, most notably during the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition..Catholic AnswerThere have indeed been many incidents throughout history of individual Christians killing Jews, but the Church has never sanctioned this. The Crusades were against the Muslims to liberate the Holy Land from Islam agression and control. The Spanish Inquisition had no authority whatsoever to even try Jews, they only had authority over those who were baptised Christians.
The Inquisition was established in 1478 at the behest of Queen Isabella I and focused heavily on Jews.
The people persecuted in the Spanish Inquisition were "New Christians", which is to say Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity in order to continue living in Spain (since Judaism and Islam were banned), but who were believed to be secretly practicing their faith of birth. Hundreds of thousands of Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity were persecuted. Later, the Spanish Inquisition also persecuted Protestant reformers.
The Spanish persecuted the Jews in the 15-16th centuries, during the Inquisition, and they expelled all Jews from Spain in 1492. There were also persecutions against Jews in Spain (expulsions, or killings, or forced conversions) in 612, 638, 642, 681, 1063, 1212, 1240, 1278, 1348, 1354, 1368, 1377, 1391, 1449, 1486, and 1490.
Reconquistas basically were Spanish soldiers who had lost southern Spain to Muslims and Jews and expelled them out. it was an inquisition like the diaspora.
