@youkn0wme So Brits aren't exactly the most appropriate people to be talking shit about anyone else being "invaded" or "ruled" by "Arabs" or what have you, dumbass.

This boy, who became known as Quintus Lollius Urbicus, left North Africa for Asia, Judea, the Danube, and the lower Rhine, rising steadily through the imperial ranks. Eventually he became GOVERNOR OF BRITAIN, where he led imperial troops into Scotland, expanding the empire's borders." - Amy Chua, "Day of Empire: How Hyperpowers Rise to Global Dominance--and Why They Fall", pp. 40-41

"At the same time, Rome offered extraordinary opportunities for upward mobility, even to distant regions. One remarkable story of this kind is told by an inscription found in the tiny North African town of Tiddis (now in Algeria), describing the life of the second or third son of a local Berber landowner. (cont.)

"In BRITAIN there were stationed troops from Belgium, Gaul, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Bavaria, Dacia, Macedonia, CILICIA, and Thrace; cohorts of boatmen from the TIGRIS, the Danube and the EUPHRATES; SYRIANS, Dalmatians, ARABS, and MOORS from the NORTH OF AFRICA." - James Charles Wall, "The first Christians of Britain", page 17.
-
"We know that there was no homogenous body of soldiery in BRITAIN.The legions contained SYRIANS, CILICIANS, Spaniards, MOORS, Thracians, Dalmatians, Frisians, etc., and this fact seems to be a clear proof of the growing paucity of Roman citizens in Italy and the provinces." - Charles McLean Andrews, "The old English manor: a study in English economic history", page 35.
-
"We find Thracians at Maglona (Machynlleth) and MOORS at Aballaba (Appleby); elsewhere Batavians, Dalmatians, Spaniards, and even SYRIAN and Taifalic cavalry..." - Robert Owen, "The Kymry: their origin, history, and international relations", page 68.
-
"The Notitia Imperii shows us that bodies of SYRIANS, CILICIANS, Spaniards, MOORS, Thracians, Dalmatians, Frisians, &c., formed the military colonists of the stations in BRITAIN; and when even the emperors themselves were often not of Italian birth, and the most trusted officers and governors provincials or even barbarians, we have no reason to suppose that any notable proportion of genuine Roman blood found its way to this country..." - John Beddoe, "The Races of Britain", page 31.

@youkn0wme And last, ironically Britain is the only place in all northern Europe that also endured the presence of North Africans and Middle Easterners for several centuries, courtesy of the multi-ethnic Roman armies that conquered the place (at that time even many of the "Roman" emperors were of such descent; check out the Severan Dynasty. All of them were of Syrian and North African origin. Septimius Severus even died at York while planning his next campaign against the Caledonians):

@youkn0wme Hardly surprising when you consider that the "Arabs" were not even 5% of the population of the Iberian Peninsula, the bulk of Muslims were just NATIVES who converted to Islam (consult your very own English historians and scholars specializing on such subjects, like Thomas Walker Arnold, "The Preaching of Islam", page 124, or Richard Hitchcock, "Mozarabs in medieval and early modern Spain", 2008, page 2)
-
@youkn0wme Second, Spaniards are in fact the southern Europeans most genetically distant from "Arabs" (Simoni et al. 1999, Bosch et al. 2001, Dupanloup et al. 2004.)
