Why is Spain, which has been ruled by Muslims for seven centuries, not Islamized?

The Iberian Peninsula in Spain was occupied by Arabs from 7 1 1, and the last Muslims in Grenada in the south of the peninsula were driven away in 1492. Muslims ruled the Iberian peninsula for more than seven centuries. But friends who travel to Spain will find that the Spanish people are not Muslims, there are few Muslim buildings, and Christian buildings abound.

Spain has never been a Muslim, the key reason is that before the arrival of Arabs, the peninsula has been deeply Christian. After the Punic War, the Iberian Peninsula became the territory of the Roman Empire. With the Roman emperor declaring Christianity as the state religion at the end of the 4th century, the inhabitants of Iberian Peninsula also became Christians. After the 3rd century AD, the Roman Empire fell into a crisis of rule. The invading Germans occupied the Iberian peninsula and established the Visigoth kingdom, while Rome had no time to take care of the peninsula. In 476 AD, the Roman Empire was conquered by barbarians, but the Germanic people were assimilated by Roman culture, and they were all baptized and became Christians.

Another Germanic group established the Frankish Kingdom in the north of the Kingdom of sickert. Although the two kingdoms were established by barbarians, they constantly competed for territory and population, and the people on the peninsula suffered greatly, which further deepened the spread of Catholicism in the lower classes and made Catholic culture deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Before the Arabs called, the Visigoth Kingdom became one of the most prosperous Catholic countries in Europe. After the 8th century, Muslims occupied the whole peninsula, established the Andalusian regime, and adopted a religious tolerance policy towards Christianity, provided that they paid poll tax. Christian buildings are protected to a certain extent, but new construction and reconstruction are not allowed. After the internal division of the regime, countries increased their search and oppression of Christians, and Christians were forced to flee to Christian countries in the northern part of the peninsula. The Christian forces headed by the Pope and western European countries all support the Christian regime in the northern part of the peninsula, such as Aragon, Castilla and Portugal. With their support, Christians began to recover lost ground.

1492, Christians have driven all Muslims into the sea and all their territories have been recovered. The Queen of Spain has just begun to adopt a religious tolerance policy towards Muslims. However, with the rise of Spanish nationalist movement, 1502, the king of Spain asked Muslims to convert to Christianity. Muslims who are unwilling to convert are forced to leave the peninsula, while those who are willing to convert are called Morisco people and are discriminated against. After the Spanish inquisition was established, Muslims and Morisco people were severely punished. During Isabella's reign alone, thousands of heretics were executed every year. With the expansion of Spanish overseas colonization, Spain further strengthened the liquidation of pagans. 1567 king Philip ii forced the assimilation of Muslims and banned the black veil of Arab and Muslim costumes. Morisco's rebellion was forcibly suppressed. 1609, a large number of Morisco people were forcibly deported, thus completing the de-Muslim of Spain.
