North Africa was taken over by Muslim Hordes.
In Iberia, Christians re-conquored it and turned it Christian again.
So both cases those who hold military and political power stamped out the competing religion.

Random Christians don't care about some far off place.
Spaniards tried with the Reconquista because they saw it as their land that was taken over.

Because northern africans are retarded.
This map is flase.
The majority of north africa was pagan, with jewish minorities, sunni islam became the dominant religion in 1000-1100 ad, 400 years after the first raids.
