That looks like a scene from the Tower of London.
What "looks like a scene from the Tower of London"?
Are you actually going to deny that the Inquisiition in Spain caused the deaths of agreat many people?
The first link concerns the Italian (AKA Roman) Inquisition.
The second is broader and does discuss Spain.
And I can find more sources if you like.

The Inquisitors weren't concerned with the ideas of those outside the faith.
True. Because the intent was that there be NO OTHER FAITH. (See a First Amendment problem here? )
The "problem" was just limited to Jews, BTW. There were also former Muslim who had converted who were brought before the Inquisition, convicted, and turned over to civil authorities for execution. Us good Xians must not get our hands dirty.

The point that is overlooked by Anglophile historians is that Queen Isabella was at war with the Moors
That war ended in 1492. As the sources I cited said, the Inquisition did not end in Spain until 1834.
Next.

Ultimately, Isabella's campaign against the Moors was successful, thus she saved Europe from being overrun by Islam. Spain proved to be the bulwark against Islam. They might be speaking Farsi in London today if not for her efforts.
And if Vlad the Impaler (AKA "Dracula") had not stopped the Muslims, we might be speaking Arabic. Does that make him a saint?
