The ruling classes of Spain were descended from the Visigoths, who had adopted the Arian sect of Christianity. When the King of Spain converted to Catholicism, he intended to require the same of all his nobles. The nobles knew that under Islamic rule, they would have religious freedom, so welcomed the Muslims to Spain.
In 587 Recared, the Visigoth king in Spain, converted to Roman Catholicism and at once began a persecution of the Jews. The persecution of the Jews was partly due to a power struggle against the Visigoth nobility who protected the Jews and used them as their agents. The king, the Church, and the common Spaniards were all against the nobility and by getting at the Jews they were weakening the Visigoth aristocracy. A frontal attack on the Visigoths was difficult since these already had a reputation for assassinating their monarchs and were not happy with the change of religion.
Answer 1
Possibly because initially, at last, Muslims were more tolerant of Jews than were early Christians, who maintained that the Jews had killed their Saviour.
Answer 2
Jews 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.

Yes, the Nazis burned large numbers of Jews, as was also done in the Spanish Inquisition.
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.
If you had just asked what language the Jews of Spain spoke, the question would have been easy. Jews spoke to one-another in Ladino, also known as Judaeo-Spanish. They also spoke the standard Spanish of the time.What language was spoken to Jews depends on who was speaking to them. Muslims (Arabs, Muladíes, and Amazigh/Moors) would typically speak to them in Arabic. Spaniards would usually speak to them in the various Spanish languages, like Old Castilian, Leonese, Old Catalonian and Aragonese. The Spanish languages and Ladino are more-or-less mutually intelligible, so the Jews could respond in Ladino.
The relationship between Moors and Jews in Spain 1492 is that both groups were persecuted by the Spanish Christians. During the Spanish Inquisition, the ruling classes and the Church seized upon the concept of "purity of blood" and used this concept to persecute Moors and Jews who had not converted to Christianity. During this time most Jews and Moors were stripped of their possessions and expelled from Spain.

Muslin is a fabric. Many Arabs who are mostly Muslim's dislike the state of Israel which is predominantly Jewish due to several wars with neighbouring Muslim states and continued mistreatment of the Palestinean People, who are also mostly Muslim.
