Hitler's goal was to kill them off. People had to try everything imaginable for them to be killed. He believed that the Jews were the cause for the war. -Round Rupert
The Jews and Muslims
The Spanish Inquisition.
The court of the Inquisition. And it generally persecuted Conversos, not Jews who remained Jewish.
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 majority of Persians (Iranians) are Muslims; more specifically, Shia Muslims. Minorities include Sunna Muslims, Bahá'ís, Christians, and Jews. Especially the Bahá'ís are severely persecuted.
With respect, the assumption in the question is not accurate. The Jews are not 'persecuted worldwide'.
Muslims are commanded to love and respect all.
The Spanish Inquisition, founded in 1478. Initially, its sole function was to sniff out 'insincere converts' from Judaism. Later this was extended to Muslims and later to anyone who defied the authority of the Church. In Spain, Jews and Muslims had been put under enormous pressure since about 1350 to convert to Christianity.
The Catholic Church in Spain, and the Spanish Inquisition, either killed, expelled or forced the Jews and Muslims in Spain to convert.
Jews have been persecuted throughout history.
