The Huns gradually came from the East over a couple of hundred of years being initially forced out by the Chinese and pushing forward others to the west. There was nothing to attack east of Constantinople as long as the Roman empires attracted them as moths to lights. Plus, Moslems didn't exist in Attila's time. The Huns didn't disappear after Attila's death but just merged unnoticeably into other groups as Attila's weak sons subdivided the groups. A group is said to have left their genes near a Swiss region as judged by characteristic skin markings shared by Asian relatives. The history of the turkic Khazars is interesting. They were part of the Hunnish horde and evolved north of the Caucasus to create their own powerful turf for several hundred years until the newly Christianized Rus curbed them. Pressured earlier to convert a la Byzantines or Caliphs, their leaders diplomatically took a middle Judaic road. The Seljuk Turks were subject to them until settling in Turkey and carried along characteristic Judaic names before later becoming Moslems.

these guys were believed to be Jewish The Khazars were a small empire where they raised horses and hired themselves out as cavary mercenaries.
I am curious the Pesians were no big attraction?

It was the Mongols centuries later who deliberately entered the central Asian Moslem kingdom out of revenge and progressed south into soft Islamic Persia. They started their journey as an army out to conquer and always maintained their homebase intact and were able soon to conquer the Chinese kingdoms. The aggressive Huns, Hiung-nu at the time, however, were first beaten back by the even more powerful first Ch'in emperor and later the resistant Han successor. In Persia, the rugged but more organized Parthians, once steppe horse-archers themselves, easily pushed back those who were being pushed forward by the Huns and, needing pastures for their herds, Huns set their eyes westward along easier northerly steppes leading to the Ukraine. So, after centuries they faced the soft Romans who even had an emperor skinned by the Parthians. How is it: rocks-break-scissors-cut paper?
