Arab Muslims conquered most of Spain in a series of battles from 711 C.E. to 750 C.E. However, the Catholic Kingdoms of northern Spain were able to expel the Arab Muslim conquerors over the course of the subsequent 700-800 years.
There is no need to assert this identity, but some people and political parties find it works as a common rallying point since the overwhelming majority of people in the Arab World are Arabs and Muslims. It provides a common system of ethics, a common historical narrative, and is very reassuring. The major problem with it, though, is that it excludes Mawali (Non-Arab Muslims) like the Sunni Kurds, Circassians, and Amazigh, it excludes Arab Non-Muslims like the Egyptian Copts, the Mizrahi Jews, the Lebanese Maronites, and the Druze, and it excludes the Non-Arab Non-Muslims like the Armenians, Assyrians, Yazidi Kurds, and the Baha'i. Those who wish to include these minority groups typically advocate for Secular Nationalism, which would unite people based on whether they are "Egyptian" or "Libyan" and not based on whether they are Arab Muslims or not.
Sunni Muslims
The Amazigh people, often improperly called "Berbers" or "Moors" were the indigenous North African population who were conquered by the Arab Muslim armies and converted to Islam.

No. There are many more Asian Muslims than Arab Muslims. Indonesia, for example, is the most populous Muslim country in the world. We associate Islam with the Arabs because the prophet Mohammed was an Arab and because the Arabs are the ones who in the name of converting people to Islam conquered lands from modern day China to Spain (60% of the Old World land mass). Only 20-25% of Muslims are ethnically Arab.
Most Muslims of the Arab world live in Egypt.
Non Arabs who converted into Islam in the early Islam era were called 'Mawali' that means in English people who supports the first nucleus of Arab Muslims. However, this term in longer of use especially that non Arab Muslims now accounts for around 85% of total world Muslims while the Arab Muslims account for only 15%.
Arab Muslims as well as Arab Christians fought together the crusaders as invaders and not as Christians.
