Why don't you read up on the battle of Tours yourself? It was a simple raid, aimed to loot the region. I'm well aware of who fought it and what the reasons were. I'm also well aware why the Moors lost. Because the Franks made for their camp and the moorish troops fearing for the booty, left the battlefield. There was no expansionist strategy behind it and certainly no religious motif.
A simple raid???? Are you crazy?!
No, it was two armies, those of Charles Martel, who had 30,000 troops, and an invading Muslim army twice that size, numbering 60,000 troops:

What was a Muslim army doing in northern France 100 years after the death of Muhammad? They were just there to "raid"??
This is just nonsense. Armies do not travel 2,000 miles just to "raid". I would suggest that you read more.
