Granadan Christians co-opted Islamic religious vocabulary for their own use

Evidence

Masjid, “mosque,” is, of course, not in any normal usage to be interpreted as “Church,” but from the days of Talavera and of Pedro de Alcal´a onward in Granada Christian usage had sought to appropriate to itself what elsewhere were, and are, specifically Islamic terms. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 1804

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to the broader theme of religious syncretism and terminology appropriation — relates to how the morisco text uses ‘masjid’ for Christian sacred space.
• DEFINE: Clarifies that masjid in this Granadan Christian context means church, an appropriation of Islamic terms.
