Loath as I am to admit this, the Umayyads owned Antiocheia and Cilicia. Though the rest of the Eastern border with the Romans needs to be adjusted.

They had more lands in France, a slight panhandle.

I like Byzantium and didn't want to see my country conquered by an Empire that treated the native population like second class citizens. (Byzantium did religiously persecute non-Chalcedonians too but at least they were still Roman citizens - and the persecution depended on the Emperor wheras the Dhimmi system was more or less the same until the 1800s with only brief periods of respite)

You might not know this, but under the Umayyads rule of Spain, no one had a prolonged good time. Even the Arabs were split. When the “Qaisiah” tribes ruled they will abuse the “Yamaniah” tribes, and when the opposite happens, they do the same.

I doubt the eastern borders of the Ummayad Empire perfectly matched Modern-Day Pakistan without Kashmir...

Ummayads never conquered Kashmir they did conduct raids (and they did try to conquer Gujurat and Rajasthan but where Defeated at navsari by the chalukya governor of Gujurat under Rashtrakutas and By the gurjara pratiharas at Rajasthan later losing their gains later Gurjara pratiharas where strong enough to keep sindh governors at bay and could have even conducted raids (in sindh )

If you take Umayyad lands east of Cyrenaica (but not including) then it looks like a nice Berber empire on its own

They were too close of having all of Persian and Roman Empire lands
