If north africa was nevwr arabized "europe" would have never come to become a unified notion
Reconquista would've never happened.
Iberians would be mongrelized with nafris and bantus instead of descending from aragonese settlers,
Italy would be full of many shades of nafrilattos, the trade networks and economic scape would be deeply different, colonization would've probably gone down the african route, and iberia wouldve never been forced to profund militarization
The franks would have never become prominent and southern europeans would've remained both more disrant and more antagonistic to germanics/western Europeans
Islam was the common undying factor that pushed europe together
"Europe" would hardly even be a thing without it.
You would just see everyone north of the alps as alien unwashed barbarians
