What territorial losses did the Byzantines suffer to the Muslims?
The entire Byzantine Empire was conquered by Muslims at different points. The Rightly-Guided Caliphate and the Umayyad Caliphate conquered all of the Levant and North African areas under Byzantine control as well as southeast Anatolia. The Seljuk Turks conquered most of the rest of Anatolia. The Ottoman Turks conquered all of the remaining Byzantine territories (mostly the Balkans and Constantinople).
Why did the Byzantines hate the Turks?
There are two major reasons that the Byzantines hated the Turks and they are both fairly straightforward. 1) Land: The Byzantine Empire was based in Anatolia and extended into the Levant, Mesopotamia, North Africa, and the Balkans. The Turkish Empires like the Seljuqs and the Ottomans conquered this territory and similarly established Anatolia as their base of operations. When any two different ethnic groups want to control the same piece of land, it breeds conflict 2) Religion: The Byzantines considered Constantinople to be the most important seed of Orthodox Christianity and the Byzantine Empire was the defender of the Christian Faith in the Middle East. The Turks were Muslim and there was much religious hatred on both sides. The difference between the Turks and the Byzantines was that the Turks begrudgingly allowed Christians to live in their empire as long as they paid humiliating taxes whereas the Byzantines refused to let Muslims contaminate (in their view) their country and despoil the religious purity.

Is a person's ethnicity fixed?
Within somebody's life, the answer is usually, yes. A person cannot change from being ethnically Yoruba (Nigeria) to being ethnically Thai. However, there are some circumstances where ethnicity is contingent on historical circumstances and not some fixed DNA counter.A perfect example of changing ethnicities would be in the creation of the Turk ethnicity in Anatolia and the Balkans. By the time of Suleiman the Magnificent to the present day, the majority of Turks in Turkey and the surrounding countries had no or minimal ethnic connection to the Turks of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, where their Turkic conquerors, the Seljuks and Ottomans, came from. They were actually the indigenous people of Anatolia and the Balkans, many of whom had previously identified as Byzantine Greeks, but who converted to Islam. It was this conversion to Islam that made them Turks. They were also not linguistically homogeneous. Roughly half of the Turks in Anatolia and the Balkans prior to 1900 did not speak Turkish at all. They spoke Greek, Serbo-Croatian, or Bulgarian since those were the languages of the regions where they were from. The process of indigenous Anatolians and Balkans-peoples converting to Islam and, therefore, becoming ethnically Turkish, was called "Turkification".
