Then Muslims invaded the Holy Land in 636.

Muslims then invaded more of North Africa. The Muslim conquest of the Maghreb continued the century of rapid Muslim conquests following the death of Muhammad in 632 AD and into the Byzantine-controlled territories of Northern Africa. In a series of three stages, the conquest of the Maghreb commenced in 647 and concluded in 709 with the "Byzantine" Roman Empire losing its last remaining strongholds to the then-Umayyad Caliphate.

On April 30, 711, Muslim General Tariq ibn-Ziyad landed at Gibraltar and by the end of the campaign most of the Iberian Peninsula (except for small areas in the north-west such as Asturias and the Basque territory) were brought under Islamic rule.



The Umayyad invasion of Gaul (France) in 720 followed immediately on the Umayyad conquest of Hispania. During the 8th century, Umayyad armies conquered the region of Septimania, the last remnant of the Visigothic Kingdom.[1]

The Umayyad advance was stopped at the Battle of Toulouse in 721, but they sporadically raided Southern Gaul as far as Avignon, Lyon, and Autun. However, the Umayyad forces continued to campaign northward, until their defeat in the Battle of Tours in 732. After the 732 Battle of Tours-Poitiers, the Franks checked Aquitanian sovereignty, and reasserted their authority over Burgundy, but only later in 759 did they manage to take the Mediterranean region of Septimania, due to Andalusi neglect and local Gothic disaffection.

The first Arab siege of Constantinople (674–678) which was unsuccessful and followed up with the 2nd siege 717–718. The campaign marked the culmination of twenty years of attacks and progressive Arab occupation of the Byzantine borderlands.

After ten centuries of wars, defeats, and victories, the Byzantine Empire came to an end Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in May 1453.

The Ottoman wars in Europe were a series of military conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and various European states dating from the Late Middle Ages up through the early 20th century. The earliest conflicts began during the Byzantine–Ottoman wars, waged in Anatolia in the late 13th century before entering Europe in the mid 14th century, followed by the Bulgarian–Ottoman wars and the Serbian–Ottoman wars waged beginning in the mid 14th century. Much of this period was characterized by Ottoman expansion into the Balkans. The Ottoman Empire made further inroads into Central Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries, culminating in the peak of Ottoman territorial claims in Europe.

Now they are thoroughly beaten they're left to invade by stealth. Fighting amongst themselves and some launching terror attacks on anyone who doesn't submit.

Any lies by people like Dead Eye about Islam being the religion of peace and Islam being a message of peace is bullshit, or Muslims aren't taking any notice of it.

All this information is easily accessed on Google and Wikipedia.

I've also left out their invasion towards the East to keep this shorter. That's a whole new story.
We're still waiting for Dead Eye to tell us Muslims are peace loving people who only bring peace to the world.
