Your farm might have been destroyed if it lay in the path of an army. If pagan, you might have been forced to convert to Islam at swordpoint. Between then and the Reconquista you merely paid tribute to a different master. At least the Muslims didn't hold Inquisitional courts to examine your inner conscience.
Do you have any idea how the muslim reign in Iberia actually looked like? Obviously not. Otherwise you would know that it was the most tolerant territory of the Middle Ages. Jews actually fled there to be rid of prosecution.
Also, as for your noblesse oblige comment in the other post. Do you have any idea what noblesse actually looked like in the Middle Ages? Again, obviously not.
I strongly recommend to consult a history book at some point.
