No. There are fringe theories that Arabs from Al-Andalus made it to America sometime in the 12th century but they're just theories. There are also theories that the Chinese, Irish, Bretons, Romans, Greeks, Phoenicians, Mali and Egyptians did the same.

It's not exactly a good example either. Sure they didn't wreck America, but what the Vikings did in Britain and the Arabs in India was not much better. if they had the chance, they would have done the same in America too.

The vikings called north america / Canada "ny vinland" (new country of wine).

That was around year 900 - 1000, some 500 years or so before Christopher Columbus.

I'm aware that the Vikings have visited North America, I was referring to the Arabs.
