Crypto-Muslims collaborated with corsairs to enslave Christians

Evidence

When they confessed, they never admitted to mortal sins, nor did they tell the truth. They observed Fridays, and washed themselves then, and behind locked doors they performed the salat. On Sundays they stayed indoors and continued working. … They even took captives themselves, and sold them, so that corsairs came to Spain to get rich, just as one goes to some parts of the Indies. Whole villages at times passed over with them. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 293
