Actually, the muslims didn't get to much of Europe in the 8th century. Most of Muslim inroad into Europe occurred after the 14th century. The Turks got as far as besieging and almost taking Vienna in 1683.
The Ottomans didn't invade the Balkans for overtly muslamic reasons, whereas the Berbers did invade Andalucia and northwards for same, at least they professed so. The Ottoman invasions were overtly for geopolitical reasons, they saw a weak ERE and later Balkans and Hungary and took their chances.
