Question: When did Muslim armies invade the country where Al-Hamidiyah is located and the country where kleicha comes from?

The Muslim conquest of the Levant (Arabic: اَلْـفَـتْـحُ الْإٍسْـلَامِيُّ لِـلـشَّـامِ ‎, Al - Faṫṫḥul - Islāmiyyuash - Shām) or Arab conquest of the Levant (Arabic: اَلْـفَـتْـحُ الْـعَـرَبِيُّ لِـلـشَّـامِ ‎, Al - Faṫṫḥul - ʿArabiyyu Lish - Shām) occurred in the first half of the 7th century, and refers to the conquest of the region known as the Levant or Shaam (Arabic: شَـام ‎, 'Syria'), later to become the Islamic Province of Bilad al - Sham, as part of the Islamic conquests. Arab Muslim forces had appeared on the southern borders even before the death of prophet Muhammad in 632, resulting in the Battle of Mu'tah in 629, but the real invasion began in 634 under his successors, the Rashidun Caliphs Abu Bakr and Umar ibn Khattab, with Khalid ibn al - Walid as their most important military leader. <SEP> The town was founded in a very short time on the direct orders of the Ottoman Sultan ‘Abdu’l-Hamid II around 1897, to serve as a refuge for the Greek-speaking Muslim Cretan community, forced to leave Crete during the 1897-98 Greco-Turkish War and resettled by the Sultan in Hamidiyah and other coastal areas of the Levant and as far as Libya. The majority still speak Cretan Greek in their daily lives. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, al-Hamidiyah had a population of 7,404 in the 2004 census. Al-Hamidiyah (, ) is a town on the Syrian coast, about 3 km from the Lebanese border. <SEP> Kleicha come in several traditional shapes and fillings. The most popular are the ones filled with dates ("kleichat tamur"). There are also sweet discs ("khfefiyyat"), as well as half moons filled with nuts, sugar and/or desiccated coconut ("kleichat joz"). Kleicha () may be considered the national cookie of both Iraq and Saudi Arabia. <SEP> the yalova peninsula massacres were a series of massacres and ethnic cleansings during 1920–1921, the majority of which occurred during march – may 1921. they were committed by local greek and armenian gangs and the invading greek army against the turkish muslim population of the yalova peninsula. there were 27 villages burned and in armutlu. according to journalist arnold j. toynbee c. 300 muslims were killed during april–july 1921. in an ottoman inquiry of 177 survivors in constantinople, the number of victims reported was very low (35), which is in line with toynbee's descriptions that villagers fled after one to two murders. moreover, approximately 1,500 out of 7,000 muslims remained in the region after the events or 6,000 had left yalova where 16 villages had been burned. on the other hand, ottoman and turkish documents on massacres claim that at least 9,100 muslim turks were killed. <SEP> between 1528 and 1540, armies of muslims, under the imam ahmad ibn ibrihim al - ghazi, entered ethiopia from the low country to the south - east, and overran the abyssinian kingdom, obliging the emperor to take refuge in the mountain fastnesses. in this remote location, the ruler again turned to the portuguese. joão bermudes, a subordinate member of the mission of 1520, who had remained in the country after the departure of the embassy, was, according to his own statement (which is untrustworthy), ordained successor to the abuna (archbishop), and sent to lisbon. bermudes certainly came to europe, but with what credentials is not known.
