I wouldn't be so quick to tout your so-called "word-smithing" skills, if your post is to be taken as an example--it reads like you're looking for an excuse to whine about "reverse-discrimination" or something.  Don't bother.

Folks of Spanish ancestry are overwhelmingly Catholic and just as saddled with the Inquisition's bloody heritage as Anglo-Saxons--if not more so.  "Moriscos" (Muslim Spaniards) were its victims at least as much as Jewish and 'heretical' Christian Spaniards.  One result: 3,000,000 Spanish Muslims were enslaved and sent to Mexico after "Los Reyos Christianos" took power in Spain.

Then the Spaniards reached out and touched the Philippines, "converting" nearly its entire Muslim population to Catholicism at sword-point.  Only the stalwarts inhabiting the thousand or so southern islands around Mindanao managed to keep their Islam.

No, it's hardly surprising a Catholic with some degree of Spanish heritage might sometimes strike out at Muslims.  Old hatreds die hard.
