84 From the book: HISTORY OF THE GREATEST LIES 29 The Christian religion gained more and more strength and subjugated more and more countries. The Christian church fathers demanded that the Jews accept the Christian faith. Refusal to obey caused religious fanaticism, persecution, and incitement of the population to protect themselves from the newcomers. Islam and its leaders, which emerged in the 7th century, were initially loyal to the Jews. But over time, this attitude has changed. In Al Andalus (Arabs' Spain) and North Africa, many Jews were forcibly converted to Islam. The Christian kings of Spain, who expelled the Arabs from Spain (Reconquista), in the 15th century set a condition for the Jews: "acceptance of the Christian faith or expulsion." Jews (Marans) who were baptized lived in designated ghettos and were under the Holy Inquisition's vigilant control. The slightest suspicion of Jewish religious rites could end, after torture and torment, at stake. Blood libel against Jews, accusations of spreading epidemics, pogroms, murders, violence, and forced baptism of children, such as the dispersion price.
