  Muslim conquest of Iberia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Muslim Conquest of Iberia (711—718) commenced when the Moors (mostly Berbers with some Yemenis) invaded Visigothic Christian Iberia in the year 711 CE.

The Muslims soon reached the Pyrenees (719), having driven the remnants of the Christians into the mountains of the north and west.
At the battle of Tours the Muslims, having crossed into France, were defeated by Charles Martel and the Franks.
In agricultural development, the Muslims introduced the cultivation of rice, sugarcane, oranges, lemons, grapefruits, eggplants, carrots, and, after the 11th century, cotton; these crops, together with new methods of field irrigation and crop rotation, led to “a green revolution” in Spain.

 Conquest of Muslim Tartaria by the Czars
The conquest of Caucasia remained one of the cherished dreams of Russian rulers.
But the Muslims of Caucasus could not be subdued by the Russian army, the largest in Europe, and they remained a source of constant uneasiness for the Tsarist regime right till the October Revolution.
The Muslim discontent was fueled by the increasing number of Russian settlements in their region and consequent confiscation of their land.

The lust for Muslim imperialist conquest stretched from southern France to the Philippines, from Austria to Nigeria, and from central Asia to New Guinea.
Because of Orthodox weakness and the relative speed of the conquest of Palestine and Israel, I have often seen this Muslim, imperialist, colonialist bloody conquest described by Muslim and PC writers as "peaceful" or "bloodless." This statement is simply not true.
The Muslim imperialist, colonialist, bloody conquest and subjugation of Palestine began with a battle, the August 20, 636, battle of Yarmk (it is believed that 75,000 soldiers took part -- hardly bloodless).

 The Muslim Brotherhood's Conquest of Europe
The Muslim Brotherhood—led by Ramadan and Himmat[23]—sponsored the construction of the imposing Islamic Center of Munich in 1960,[24] aided by large donations from Middle Eastern rulers such as King Fahd of Saudi Arabia who, according to a 1967 Sueddeutsche Zeitung article, donated 80,000 marks.
In the long run, Muslims cannot be satisfied with the acceptance of German family, estate, and trial law.
While the Egyptian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood has chosen Munich as its base of operations in Germany, its Syrian branch is headquartered in Aachen, a German town near the Dutch border.

 AnalPhilosopher Christie Davies on the Muslim ...
Muslim suicide bombers may sound terrifying but they are no different from an Irish Republican bomber supplied with a sophisticated timer paid for by Colombian drug dealers or Boston bartenders.
The Muslim take-over of Britain will be a peaceful one, a product of the rottenness of a ‘liberal’ Britain in which no one is expected, indeed permitted, to take any pride in their particular national or religious identity.
If the Muslims take over the world it will be because they are willing to fight and die for what they believe in, while the West seems to believe in nothing of any substance and is certainly not willing to sacrifice for anything.

Muslims and Jews is a good attempt for the author to paint a picture of how Jews are depcited within the culture of the Arab/Muslim world.
Other reasons that Gabriel should have mentioned would be the Israeli occupation of large areas of the 1967 lands and the high level of illiteracy and unemployment among the Palestinians that leave little choice for Palestinian youth to chose a future that is not connected to fighting Israel.
Gabriel, who was born in a poor religious Muslim family and was forced to memorize the Quran and hate Jews when he was a kid, projects the same situation on all Arabs and Muslims.

By 700 CE, with famine in the Toledo, strife among the aristocracy and chaos throughout the peninsula, the Visigothic kingdom was falling apart.
This paved the way for the Muslim invasion of 711, which set Spain’s destiny quite apart from the rest of Europe.
The Visigothic survivors fled to the north of Spain, and within a few years, the Muslims had taken over the rest of the Iberian Peninsula bar a few areas in the Asturian Mountains bordering France.

 Israpundit: The Muslim Brotherhood's Conquest of Europe
Lorenzo Vidino exposes "The Muslim Brotherhood's Conquest of Europe":...
The case is particularly visible in Germany, which retains a place of key importance in Europe, not only because of its location at the heart of Europe, but also because it played host to the first major wave of Muslim Brotherhood immigrants and is host to the best-organized Brotherhood presence.
The German government's reaction is also instructive if only to show the dangers of accepting Muslim Brotherhood rhetoric at face value, without looking at the broader scope of its activities.

WAMY, which falls under the umbrella of the Muslim World League, has the stated goal of "arming the Muslim youth with full confidence in the supremacy of the Islamic system over other systems." It is the largest Muslim youth organization in the world and can boast unparalleled resources.
While many Muslims endorse these views, the problem is that the Zentralrat neither represents nor tolerates those with divergent views.
Because the Muslim Brotherhood provides the bulk of FEMYSO's constituent organizations, it provides the "de facto voice of the Muslim youth in Europe." While FEMYSO claims that it "is committed to fighting prejudices at all the levels, so that the future of Europe is a multicultural, inclusive and respectful one,"

I do understand that some of the destruction of the temples by the Muslim kings were done for political reasons.
Under such circumstances, I find myself bound to submit that, if the cited historical accounts are correct and if there was no justification for the stated actions of the Muslim conquerors then these Muslim conquerors were completely unaware of the teachings of their religion.
Those who directly or indirectly participated in the mass killings will only be able to save themselves from the wrath of God, if they can give an acceptable excuse and justification for their action in the court of the All-Knowing and Just Creator, on the Day of Judgment.

I've read in various places that the Jews assisted the Muslim conquest of Spain in the 8th century.
This gives plenty of insight into the jewish antagonism leading up to the expulsion from spain in 1492, as well as the actual text of the expulsion edict itself, so what you are looking for is probably in here.
During the wars between Christians and Muslims, Jewish courtiers are valued as diplomats, translators, and advisors to both sides.

 Testimony of Some Western Scholars on the Muslim Conquest
If it happened that some Christian peoples embraced Islam and adopted Arabic as their language, it was mainly due to the various kinds of justice on the part of the Arab victors, with the like of which the non-Moslems were not acquainted.
In another place of his book, Dr. LeBon adds, "The early Arab conquests might have blurred their common sense and made them commit the sorts of oppression which conquerors usually commit, and thus ill-treat the subdued and compel them to embrace the Faith they wanted to spread all over the globe.
Had they done so, all nations, which were still not under their control, might have turned against them, and they might have suffered what had befallen the Crusaders in their conquest of Syria lately.

 AlMaghrib Forums - Muslim Conquest of Iraq
At a time when Iraq has taken a center stage on the world politics, we had an interesting discussion on the topic of Muslim conquest of Iraq during the khilafat of Abu Bakr and how does this conquest compare with the current U.S. occupation (liberation??).
The best way to ensure this was to direct their thoughts towards conquests outside the Arabian peninsula.
Though Muslim conquest was not like the US occupation of Iraq, which critics say based on lies and deception (insert WMDs, oil and Israel), I still have a few questions based on above reasons for Muslim conquest of Iraq..

A prominent businessman and politician of Turkish origins has turned Germany on its ear by reportedly telling fellow Turks that fecund Turkish women in the Federal Republic are accomplishing the conquest that Sultan Süleyman failed at before the gates of Vienna in 1683.
Vural Öger, who has made a vast fortune in the tourism industry by shuttling Turks to and from Germany, recently told Turkish guests at a dinner that he thought was private.
While his remarks have caused a furor in Germany, providentially undercutting efforts to “integrate” the Turks and other Muslims into German society, as well as damaging Turkey’s efforts to gain admission to the Europe Union, they have all but been ignored in the international English-language media.
