Iconoclasm


 * Turns Byzantine society upside down
 * Between 730-842, iconoclasm is a policy of the government.
 * Destruction of the most important religious art: Icons.
 * Mostly of cool people like Jesus, Mary, and saints, etc.
 * In 1730 (...?) Muslims just attacked Byzantine in East and Byzantine barely stayed alive.
 * Since the Muslims had greater influence now, their prohibition of idolatry now became in effect.
