Also if the plan was to forcibly convert them like how the Christians did in America or Africa etc, then seven centuries seems like a pretty long time to me, compare that to a hundred something odd years that the conquistadors took to force everyone into the Christian fold in the Americas or expunging the so called dirty Jews out of a Christian Europe etc. Muslims therefore achieved a higher moral ground(and no man is ever perfect) at the height of their absolute power.

Do you know that in a state governed accorded to Islamic laws, the taxes on Muslims are higher than the non-Muslims? The Muslims are encouraged to pay more because it is their duty as Muslims to promote Tauheed or Absolute Monotheism.
So you are factually incorrect! And by the way taxes collected in Spain were used to make some of the finest hospitals, Universities as well as Public Libraries etc in Córdoba, Granada as well as Andalusia etc...n I am guessing that you probably don’t know how these were the institutions that lit up the spark of Renaissance in Europe.

I believe that Christianity reached the same level of morality in early America as reached by Muslims in Spain and Portugal. Of course both Islam and Christianity also produced bad cultures when they strayed from the right path.
I wouldn't blame the elites for modern problems. Modern culture is throughly evil, not just the elites. It is basically the same as the culture of Sodom and Gomorrah, so it will hate any moral religion, not just Islam.
