The wars that led to the expulsion of all Muslims from the Iberian Peninsula were known as the Reconquista. They ended in 1492.
The reconquista was the crusade to drive out the Muslims from Spain
The reconquista
The justification for the Crusades began in 1009 when the Fatimid Caliph of Cairo had the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem destroyed. His successor permitted the Byzantine Empire to rebuild it under stringent circumstances, and pilgrimage was again permitted, but many stories began to be circulated in the West about the cruelty of Muslims toward Christian pilgrims. The Christians of the first Crusade captured Jerusalem and large areas of Palestine, but Jerusalem was soon lost. Successive Crusades were launched to recapture Jerusalem and drive the Muslims out of Palestine, but were largely unsuccessful. In the thirteenth century, the Knights Hospitaller finally left for the island of Rhodes, abandoning the entire Near East to the Muslims.

Most definitely they have. The Moors, Saracens, and Turks(muslims) have invaded Western Europe, Italy, France, and Spain, in the western world. Several of the Crusades were formed to drive them back; Vlad Dragool (you would know him as Dracula) gained much of his notoriety for impaling several thousand Saracens and Turks. They have also invaded India and several other countries, most notably Persia.
