You are probably thinking of the term "Saracen", but this does not have to mean a Muslim.
Although its original Latin meaning was the Arabs of the Middle East, by medieval times it had come to mean anyone foreign and distant, or indeed anything foreign or distant. The crusading knights and others who travelled from all parts of Europe used the term Saracen for all the foreigners they encountered: Turks, Syrians, Egyptians, Bedouin, Anatolians, Armenians and others, many of whom were Christians, not Muslims.
The same word, in the form "Sarcen" was used to describe imported ("foreign") stones used at Stonehenge. These stones were not Muslim, simply moved from a long distance away from the site of the monument.
