They want to take it back again. Win win, send all their problematics.

Muslims invaded in 711 and took 700 yrs to drive them out. With all of Europe under a unarmed strategic invasion while they house feed and help them reproduce and call it migration. Less you say no then will get violent. The majority of the expelled Muslims moved to Morocco.
Muslim forces crossed from North Africa and began their conquest of Spain in 711 AD, which is right around the year 700. Led by the commander Tariq ibn Ziyad, they defeated the Visigothic King Roderick at the Battle of Guadalete and quickly took control of most of the Iberian Peninsula over the next few years.

Key Facts of the Conquest
    • The Invasion Start: 711 AD, when an army of mostly Berber and Arab troops landed at Gibraltar (named after Jabal al-Tariq, or the Mountain of Tariq). [1, 2]
    • Rapid Expansion: Within a few years, the majority of Spain and Portugal fell under Muslim rule, creating the territory known as Al-Andalus. [1, 2]
    • Rule Duration: Islamic rule and influence in parts of the Iberian Peninsula lasted for over 700 years, until the final Muslim stronghold of Granada fell to Catholic monarchs in 1492. [1, 2]
 The Moriscos / Muslims (1609–1614)
King Philip III ordered the expulsion of the Moriscos—Muslims who had previously been forced to convert to Christianity. [1]
    • Security Threats: The Crown feared they acted as a “fifth column” or potential allies to the Ottoman Empire or Barbary pirates raiding the Spanish coasts. [1, 2]
    • Failed Assimilation: After a century of forced conversion, authorities and the Spanish Inquisition concluded that the Moriscos remained culturally and religiously Islamic rather than loyal Catholic subjects.
    They’re coming baaack
  • Between 1609 and 1614, the roughly 300,000 to 350,000 Moriscos expelled from Spain mostly resettled along the Barbary Coast of North Africa (the Maghreb), including modern-day Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, while smaller numbers went to parts of the Ottoman Empire and the Italian Peninsula.
    North Africa (The Maghreb)
      • Morocco: Received a massive share of the exiles, who settled heavily in cities like Fez, Rabat, Tetouan, and Salé, bringing distinct Andalusian urban, musical, and culinary traditions. [1, 2]
      • Algeria and Tunisia: Many landed on the shores of Algiers and Tunis, where regional rulers helped integrate them into local society despite initial language and cultural barriers (as many spoke Spanish and dressed in European styles). [1, 2, 3, 4]

      • The Ottoman Empire: Groups traveled further east into Ottoman territories, settling in major centers like Constantinople (Istanbul) or parts of the Balkans. [1, 2]
