Daily reminder Byzantium was "Roman Armenia," full of Islamic-like iconoclasts and an Armenizing Anatolian core that later became Turkey. Nothing was lost.
Armenian-looking Greeks stick out to this day thanks to the population exchange.
Justinian's code: proto-Koran.
Justinian: proto-Caliph.
Hagia Sophia: proto-Mosque.
Paulicianism: proto-Islam.
"Romans:" proto-Turks.

I can see your point on iconoclasm. That is eerily similar the the dirty muzzies, but everything else falls pretty flat. Justinians code was not religiously backed, it was the assembling of secular law of from as far back as pagan times. And how was Justinian a proto-caliph? Because he was the divinely mandated ruler? Then every ruler ever who claimed diviNE right to rule was as well. And shut the fuck up about the Hagia Sophia. The Arabs saw its greatness, knew they could never create a equally magnificent style and copied it. It still posses me off seeing that stupid caligraphy in there.
Also genetic similarities don't make people the same. Jordanians are bro tier and Iran was great pretty revolution. Islamic fundamentalism has ruined the turk, not their genetics.

You do realise that this was used by westerners since The Greeks interduced it to Rome untill the 1500's?

dig deeper m8
the similarities between Islam and Christian heresy movements like the Arians and Syriac Christians go to the core, even the Quran itself is filled with Syriac words which then entered modern Arabic language.
the word Koran itself means "liturgy" in Syriac.
St John of Damascus was a contemporary of early Islam and made these comparisons apparent, to the point that until the modern era Mohammad was considered a schismatic like Luther, which you can see in works like Dante's Inferno where he occupies the same place as other heretics.

until a few decades ago women were expected to veil in Catholic Church

The veil has been a part of middle east customs since before Islam.
In fact Christian and Jewish women were typically veiled as well. They started unveiling around the late 19th century because it wasn't a norm in Europe, which they felt greater ties to after Islam came to dominate the Middle East.

Mohammad copied the veil from Christians initially
and only his wife veiled to hide her identity from attackers.

Kind of? I mean the whole idea comes ultimately from the emperor.
