A Spanish bishop proposed genocide of Moriscos via transport and enforced sterility

Evidence

These people might be transported to the Coast of the Cod and Newfoundland (las costas de los macallaos [sic] y de Terranova). These are very broad lands and are quite uninhabited. They will die out there completely, especially if the adult and young males are castrated and the women [are sterilized]. One year the Valencians could be transported to one destination, the next the Aragonese to another, the next the Castilians to another. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 1366 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
