"Muslim invaders"

Thinking about the phrase "Muslim invaders" last night after listening to coverage of the NZ shootings. Trying to think of any part of the world that Muslims have invaded lately. Can't think of any. Maybe some bits of Sub-Saharan Africa? Not sure.

I can think of Muslim countries we Westerners have invaded - Iraq and Afghanistan most obviously. Then there's the attempted eradication of Muslims in the Balkans and Caucasus following the break-up of the Soviet Union, and the imposition of the State of Israel on a Muslim country by the British and the mess over the partition of India, also by the Brits. And then there's Burma/Myanmar ethnically cleansing it's Rohingya Muslim minority and China 're-educating' it's Uighur Muslim minority

Dare I use the H word yet?
