Explanation:

There were inquisitions and inquisitorial courts throughout Europe. Yet throughout history, the most brutal has been the Spanish Inquisition. Thousands of people have lost their lives unjustifiably in the most brutal way possible. A large number of Jews and Muslims were victims of the Spanish Inquisition. Many historians believe that the proximity of Muslims and Jews was precisely the reason for the Spanish Inquisition brutality. On these examples of punishment, they wanted to frighten their people, to show what would happen to them if they opposed church teachings. In such circumstances, a large number of Muslims and Jews left or rather fled Spain. A large number of these people found refuge in the Ottoman Empire.
