I don't think you understand the word colonizer. The Muslims conquered and lived among the people. They created a civilization which non-Muslim minorities were a part of. This is very different from European colonialism that extracted resources from the lands and people they conquered for the exclusive benefit of the Empire.

They were colonizers and practiced genocide. It's a great source of pride that Jews were banished from the Arab peninsula (or forcefully converted). Other branches of Islamic history such as the Ottomams were also colonisers. Don't forget Muhammad himself was a warlord.

  If they were banished from the Arabian peninsula, what were they doing in Yemen in 1948?
