What was one outcome of the discrimination faced by Muslims in Middle Age Europe?

The choice indicating that Muslims migrated to southeastern Europe reflects a significant historical development during the Middle Ages. Following the decline of the Islamic Golden Age and particularly in contexts where Muslims faced discrimination and persecution, many sought refuge or better opportunities in regions such as southeastern Europe. This migration not only resulted from immediate discrimination but also from broader socio-political and economic pressures within their original areas. This movement contributed to the demographic and cultural landscapes of regions in southeastern Europe, where populations became more diverse due to the influx of Muslims fleeing unfavorable circumstances.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately represent historical realities. The idea of uniting with Christians for political power overlooks the significant religious and cultural divides of the time. The establishment of a powerful empire does not correspond with the experiences of many Muslims in Europe, especially as they were often marginalized. Similarly, the notion that they became dominant in trade neglects the realities of discrimination, which often restricted their participation in economic activities.
