A lot of the Moslem Moors of North West Africa were being driven out of spain by the Christians during the rise of the Holy Roman Empire. They moved towards East Africa Southern Asia and the now Middle East were the ottoman empire was forming with the Moslems there and the retreating Moors from the West.

In terms of Empires, there was actually an alliance between the Moors (Amazigh) in Morocco and the Ottomans to better contain the Portuguese and Spanish. The two empires did not compete. (The Ottoman Empire extended up to the Algerian/Moroccan border.) Also, the Islamic Spanish Empires ended before the Ottoman Golden Age, so the Empires did not coexist at their heights (8th-13th centuries and 16th-18th centuries, respectively).
