Forced Conversions / Expulsions: Reconquista of Spain and after math. Jews suffered along with Muslims. Ottoman empire mitigated the consequences by adjusting the refugees.
Colonialism entailed exploiting local resources and transfer of wealth overseas. Hard to say if that happened with Muslim rule in parts of Europe. The conquerors, like Normans in England, were part of the landscape and continued to be for hundreds of years.
Please find comparable examples from '8th century' onwards and share with me.
al-Andalus
Seljuk Empire
Ottoman Empire
