During Spain's continuation of Western Christianity's 300 years Religious Inquisitions, and King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella killed thousands of Jewish and Muslim "heathens" and even "Christian heretics." The surviving Spanish Jews and Muslims were forced to either convert, leave Spain, or die.
Sultan Bayezid II sent an entire armada of ships to Spain in 1492 rescuing tens of thousands of Muslims and Jews, resettled the refugees in Muslim lands, and offering them Ottoman citizenship. Sultan Bayezid II also issued a royal decree stating that the Jews were his guests and strict punishment will be issued to anyone found to be mistreating the Jews.
