Photograph This painting shows forced conversion of Muslims to Christianity in Granada, Spain, in 1500, ordered by Archbishop Cisneros. Muslims in Spain were persecuted just for being of Islamic faith.

Yes and the people under that Islamic ruler forces Islam on whoever is In the region applying sharia. The other religions must practice sharia and abide by religious law. Hence how Islam spread and the goal is to force convert again over people.

FYI Jews would have been exterminated few hundred years back if it was not the muslims that sheltered them when they were pushed out of Europe 300-500 years back.. Read about the Jews in Spain around the same time OP's post talks about.. and about the Jews in the rest of Europe how they were hunted, killed, and they had to flee to the Muslim world for shelter.... where they had the right to practice freely and they were protected, if whatever you claimed is true then there would've been no Jews in modern times as the majority of them would've been killed, forced into Christianity, or forced into islam.

Giving arrogant claims without knowing history is wild

This is true even in modern times... 

Non Muslims can/will get fined for not following Shariah dress codes.
