The Arabs who ruled over parts of Spain over the course of 800 years, and were often unseated by Amazigh (North African Berbers), Muladíes (Iberian Muslims), and Saqaliba (Slavic Slaves imported by the Arabs), were SUNNI MUSLIMS.
Ethnically, the Amazigh Muslim population, was derisively called as "Moors". They were more numerous than the Arab Muslims and were often the face of the conquest (since they were more numerous in the armies, even though they had fewer political decisions). Hence there may be some confusion, but the Arabs were never Moors; only Amazigh were referred to in this fashion.
