They wouldn't remain crypto for much longer, eventually they would convert as did the 40% or so Moriscos that either evaded the expulsion, remained for other reasons or returned shortly after.What will be the long term effects of a large group of crypto Muslims living inside a Western European nation throughout the entire modern era?
There would be also Morisco descendants in the New World.What will be the long term effects of a large group of crypto Muslims living inside a Western European nation throughout the entire modern era?

There were areas where they accounted for about 60% of the population, and that's why the local nobility lobbied heavily against expulsion. IMHO you can't simply assimilate the majority of the population, as I see it, most of them would simply keep their beliefs private until there's a chance to come out, probably developing a somewhat syncretic faith, like Afro-American religions. What do you guys think?
Possible with a majority areas. But I don't see their secret beliefs in Islam would survive until today. At max the 1800s for several reasons.
on't know how to solve the expulsion or relocation. Maybe the king agrees to send the same amount of people to the nobles domain. It can be Catholics from Galicia and Castille, it can be Italians from Sicily abd Naples. Sounds far fetched but who knows...
