Why Was There No Tranfer Of Population?

[G.Subramaniam]

From Bharat-rakshak, an article on post-reconquista spanish muslims

--
They were
sought to be forced into a ‘‘mainstream’’. In turn, this ‘‘heightened the
sense of Muslim identity’’ among Moriscos: they had two names, Muslim at
home, Christian outside, spoke Arabic secretly, learnt the Quran under fear
of the law. They were seen to be becoming even more dangerous. They seemed
to be increasing in numbers faster that the Old Christians, and this
impression was often true. This increase was put down to their inherent
lustfulness... But more than anything else they were seen to be vicious.
Moriscos conspired with the external enemies of Spain, while inside the
country more and more of them were retreating beyond the limits of the law,
becoming bandits or highway robbers.’’

Why does it all sound so distressingly familiar?

We can see remarkable similarities between post reconquista spanish muslims and post-partition Indian muslims

To put matters in perspective, spain decided to eradicate the internal muslims by a policy of reconversion ( carrot ) and inquisition ( stick )

It took spain 120 years and many civil wars to eradicate islam in spain
