There are numerous areas of Europe that have been under control of Muslims. The Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and the Balkan Peninsula are all sights of previous Muslim conquest. The Iberian Peninsula was conquered by the Umayyad Caliphate in the 8th century, Sicily was conquered by Muslims in the 9th century, and the Balkans came under Muslim control by the expansion of the Ottoman Empire in the 14th and 15th centuries.

Today, the Muslim majority countries of Europe include Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kosovo, and Albania.
