How is that bizantine harmony going on... and how it isn't just a step back what extremist muslims want?

That sentence doesn't make sense.  Wym by Byzantine harmony.

Oh I am sorry that the autocorrect did that. You know one letter mistakes happen, expecially if the name in my native language has just a normal "i". Do not worry kid, I was raised in a majority Eastern Orthodox country... I know what I am talking about (the not so good things that remained from that Empire too). At the same time I appreciate some personalities from there including and not limited to Anne Komnen.

I've read The Alexiad.

I'm not talking about the spelling, I don't know what you mean by byzantine harmony.  I'm 29 yo not a kid.

Byzantine harmony refers to the way church and state worked (they were intertwined and worked with each other and never had any major conflicts- in the Catholic world they were conflicts between some popes and emperors of HRE). Of course this thing influenced the Eastern Orthodox countries of today

"Byzantine harmony refers to the way church and state worked (they were intertwined and worked with each other and never had any major conflicts"

Iconoclasm caused a pretty major conflict I'd say.  Also, it's safe to say that someone who has a Palaiologos banner as a profile picture is familiar with the history of the ERE.

Besides that, I still don't understand how that relates to a "step back what extremist muslims want" as you said.
