>They weren't targeted for being Jewish
That's not how we Jews remember it.
"The royal decree explicitly stated that the Inquisition was instituted to search out and punish converts from Judaism who transgressed against Christianity by secretly adhering to Jewish beliefs and performing rites and ceremonies of the Jews. No other group was mentioned, no other purpose indicated – a fact that in itself suggest a close relationship between the creation of the Inquisition and Jewish life in Spain. Other facts, too, attest to that relationship." — Benzio Netanyahu
"Unlike its earlier version, the Spanish Inquisition sought to punish Jews who had converted to Christianity but were not really "sincere" in their conversions." — aish.com
>Rather than just kicking all the Muslims and the Jews out they gave them a chance to convert instead
Yes, the Alhambra Decree was quite lenient. Convert, leave, or be tortured to death. Huh.
