they lost to the franks at tours and to the Byzantines in 2 separate sieges of Constantinople.after that they mainly resorted to launching raids in central anatolia and depopulating the region but never really fully conquering it.

Most Muslims in the Levant are white. If by White you are referring to the inhabitants of typically paler skinned Europeans then In a way yes they did fear them.

Its actually unironically funny that this true.
Inparticular the expansion of Caliphates under the faith of Islam was halted in areas where typically pale skinned Europeans had the dominate power. For example in Southwest Gaul where the Great Charles "The Hammer" Martel along with combined forces, stopped the expansion into Northern and Central Europe. Where as for the Ottoman Turks in the 15th century, were able to expand into parts of Europe where the Greeks, (known to be a bit more darker in complexion) could not stop the expansion of the forces of Islamic invaders.

You know how we have print and cursive? It's kind of like that except there's like a dozen or so different kinds of cursive. Arabs have some weird hard-on for calligraphy and the people in charge were constantly trying to make one style or another the official style.

I don't know if this ever caught on, but pic related is an example of a writing style that involved creating little drawings out of words. It's supposed to be a boat.

Pretty sure you dont send 50K-60K troops to raid. This was definatly a move to conquer the regions north of Iberia.
