The church shifted from persuasion to repression against Muslims by 1510

Evidence

It was at the end of the first decade of the century that the church revised its evangelistic methods and began to organize repressive rather than persuasive measures. A debate was to take place over the next sixty years between those (a majority among Christians of all ranks) who argued that Islamic beliefs would not be swept away until the whole interlinked fabric of the manners and customs of Islamic society had been banned, and those few who asserted that there was no need to deprive the Granadans of their innocent local customs, their folklore (to use a twentieth-century term). — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 369

Categorization

• XREF: The majority-vs-minority split over banning customs echoes the recurring tension in religious conversion — between attacking entire cultural fabric vs. tolerating innocent folkways — paralleling later debates about Islam in Europe.
• QUESTION: Who were the ‘few’ who defended Granada’s local customs, and what arguments did they make? Worth chasing.
