An interview in Arabic language with Adiba Romero, a Spanish researcher who talks about the Morisco's in Spain's past and present, and how they recently discovered their origins.
A Morisco (in Spanish) or Mourisco (in Portuguese), meaning "Moor-like", was a converted (converso) Catholic inhabitant of Spain and Portugal of Muslim heritage. Over time the term was used in a pejorative sense applied to those nominal converso Catholics who were suspected of secretly practicing Islam (crypto-Muslim).
In the medieval period al-Andalus Muslims who had come under Iberian Christian rule, as a result of the incremental Reconquista, were known as Mudéjars. There was a tolerance with discrimination, although with treatment as inferiors from Catholic authorities. The victory of the Catholic Monarchs in the Battle of Granada in 1492 ended the last Islamic rule and al-Andalus territory on the Iberian peninsula. The pre-established Treaty of Granada (1491) guaranteed religious and cultural freedoms for Muslims and Jews in the imminent transition from Emirate of Granada to Province of Castile. The Alhambra Decree (1492) promptly rescinded the Jews' rights, expelling both the observant and the conversos suspected of secretly practicing Judaism (crypto-Judaism) called Marranos. The Decree set a precedent for upcoming persecution and later expulsion of Muslims and Moriscos.
Moriscos:

إني بأندلس أهيم ؛ فيا أخي علل بذكر حديثها قلبي الظمئ . في ذلك الفردوس أشرق شمسنا حينا و كنا للثريا ننتمي ، كنا السراج أقام يزهر عندما سرت البرية في ظلام مدهمٍ . والله في القرآن أخبر أنه للمسلم التمكين لا المستسلمِ.
عائدون إليك أندلسنا الحبيبة ....... عائدون إليك فردوسنا المفقود.
