The Pinzon brothers may have been related to a Sultan (as many Spaniards even today could claim), but I don't find anything showing them to have been Muslim themselves. Do you have other info?
They're described repeatedly as "of Muslim origin," which is not surprising given how prominent Islam was in Spain at the time. Long ago I wrote a paper on Columbus' voyage, I wish I still had the books I used for it.
