Sort of, but ultimately not really. Empires invade other lands and spread influence; its what they do. Muslim incursion into Spain certainly didn't help European views of the Middle East, but the crusades would probably have happened anyway even if there were no incursions into Europe.

Why was Spain not involved in the crusades?

Spain was not involved in the Crusades primarily because it was already engaged in its own significant conflict during the same period: the Reconquista, which aimed to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. The Reconquista began in the early 8th century and continued until 1492, coinciding with the time of the Crusades. Additionally, by the time the Crusades were in full swing, many Spanish kingdoms had their own priorities focused on territorial expansion and consolidation rather than participating in distant campaigns in the Holy Land.
