They just happened to be muslims who were attacking us in the name of Islam.
I will tell you this..
With any people there was always someone there before. The history of the world is one of migrations of people. Either forced or voluntary.
That fact will not ever change...
Europe has a history of migrations, the Americas has a history of migrations, the Middle East has a history of migrations.
From Arabia where Islam first was born and from there conquest and conversion of those conquered.
Make no mistake Muslims certainly did let Christians and Jews life safely but as 2nd class citizens. And that changed during the time of Maimonides:
During Maimonides time, a sect of Moslems called the Almohads, “the devotees of Mohammed,” gained control of the Rambam’s home city of Cordova. One of their first acts was to force the Jews of Cordova to convert to Islam. If they refused, they had to leave, which meant leaving behind their homes, their furniture, essentially all their wealth. They could only take whatever possessions they could carry.
This has been a tit for tat conversation.
The reality is that between Christianity and Islam the 2 religions who see themselves as the truth and that all others are lost and in need of conversion. The world has seen much violence and heartbreak.
The other reality is that my country is not at war against Islam or Muslims. We are at war against terrorism and those who would seek to destroy my country.
The other countries in the west are not at war against Islam or Muslims but to protect their way of life.
The reality is that Muslims need to build up their countries, educate their populations and build governments that are for all the people. And to stop being the victims and using that as an excuse.

Now compare Between the countries conquered by Muslims, and the countries which led the West on them the war such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine ...
countries conquered by the Muslims let them a thriving and safe but see but the let them Ruin and destruction
Islam did not spread by sword but with its strong faith and tolerance, how can we interpret the great number of people who embraced Islam in India, China, Malaya, Java, part of eastern India and Middle Africa? How can we explain the phenomenon that millions in Russia, Poland, and Lithuania in north Europe embraced Islam? How can we explain the same in Guinea?? Did the swords of Muslims expanded to reach these regions on Earth?? No lunatic or rational have said that!!
Ibn Al-Athir: accidents of the year 617 Hijrah).
Who can believe that such barbarians could embrace Islam voluntarily although they were the triumphed part in the battle?!
Islam did not only attract the pagan Seljuk and Tatar only but it attracted Crusaders who came to fight Muslims, they embraced Islam voluntarily. When Christian soldiers were invading Southeast of Asia in their way to Jerusalem, Christian Greeks over heard them and they informed Muslim Turks about their locations.
Thereupon, Muslim Turk attacked them and defeated these soldiers. They were in a miserable state and many of them were about to die, yet Muslim Turks helped them, treated the sick ones, fed those who were hungry and showed them mere generosity. Moreover, some Muslims bought French currencies to give them to the miserable crusaders. There was a great difference between the treatment of Muslim Turks and the Christian Greeks who showed no kindness with their own fellow people. Many of crusaders embraced the religion of Islam. Their number estimated three thousands.
Muslims never persecuted people of Spain or forced them to embrace Islam at the time of conquests. Muslims showed mere tolerance towards Spaniards. Muslims have established churches and monasteries for monks and nuns, they appointed non-Muslims in many positions in the state.
Islam protected Christians in Andalusia; they never persecuted them, despite this, Spaniards eliminated Islam and Muslims from Andalusia through massacres that were inspired by fanatic spirits.
Muslim Turks never interfered in the credo of their Christian citizens; they never dared to propagate Islam by sword.
The Patriarch of Antioch "Macarius" described in a long speech how Muslims were tolerant, he said cursing the Catholic Polish people who massacred Orthodox saying, "Long live the State of Turks, they take from us the Jizyah (tax paid by Non-Muslims to Muslims in order that Muslims protect them) and they never interfere in other's faiths whether they were Christians, Jews, or Samaritans while these damned Polish are not satisfied with the tax they take from their fellow Christians though we serve them they put their fellows under the rule of the tyrant Jews who do not allow people to establish churches, and refuse that any vicar would see the secrets of their religion."
