Muslims first came to Europe in the early 8th century, following the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) by the Umayyad Caliphate in 711 AD. This marked the beginning of nearly eight centuries of Muslim presence and influence in parts of Europe, particularly in southern Spain, which became a center of culture, science, and trade under Muslim rule. Additionally, Muslims have been present in various parts of Europe through trade, migration, and conquest throughout history, with significant communities established in the Balkans and later in the Ottoman Empire.
Muslims first arrived in Europe through the Iberian conquest of 711 C.E. However, most Muslims in Europe today immigrated in the 1960s and 1970s or are the children of those immigrants.

The statement that is not true of Muslims is "The Muslims controlled all of Europe."

Their influence was substantial but geographically limited.
Yes there are Muslims all over the world, but there are a good number of Muslims in Western Europe, but it is not a major religion.

Even though Muslims did conquer Spain, the reason that Muslim culture spread to Europe was because Islam, was in a very good location for trade. They were surrounded by many bodies of water (for boats to come in and trade). They were also surrounded by three continents (for people to come in and trade by foot or caravan). People from Europe came in to trade and encountered many Muslims. These European traders came in touch with many things that Muslims did as part of their culture. They then decided on their own to convert. These caused the spread of Muslim culture to Europe!

Neo-Nazis will attack Muslims across Europe as revenge attacks. Muslims and Islamic Extremists are SCARED to bomb Neo-Nazis in Europe. Muslim Immigration to Europe will stop. Muslims are praising Hitler while insulting Neo-Nazis. Neo-Nazis will do to the Muslims what they did to the Jews.
