This is patently false. Muslims in Morocco, Western Sahara, and the Philippines (minority in Mindinao) all came under Spanish colonization. As for why the Spanish Empire was much larger outside of the Islamic World, this is because the technological disparity between the Spaniards and the Indigenous American population was far greater than the technological advantage over the Islamic Empires of the time, especially the Ottoman Empire. As a result, it was far easier for Spaniards to conquer territories in the Americas than in the Islamic World. Spain would only acquire more territories in the Islamic World when the technological disparity once again favored Spain in the mid-1800s.
