That's only partly correct, at least in the case of Turkey. Read any history of that region. Beginning around 1100, ethnic (Muslim) Turks displaced ethnic (Christian) Greeks from Anatolia. The process ended last century, when millions of Christians were finally expelled from the country during the Greek-Turkish population exchanges after WW1. Those are matters of historical record. Same process also occurred in North Africa, where invading Arabs displaced the original sometimes-Christian Berbers. Although in this case many Berbers did, in fact, over time adopt Islam and Arab ways. (Genetically most inhabitants of North Africa are Berbers, even though they now have an Arab identify).
