Excuse me, Sir, would you like to tell us what happened to Islamic Baghdad in 1258 AD after the Mongol invasion led by Hulagu Khan. The chronology below is the truth of those 13 days when even the Islamic Caliph was murdered. I would like to hear from you about the truth that you boasted in your post. Believing in superstitions is not equal to believing in truth based on historical accounts?
Please note that the desert Arabian troops defeated Romans and Persians because those two powers became weak after continuous fighting for decades. Religion had nothing to do with it. But, poverty in Arabia and unity by one religion under a unified leadership were the two reasons for the Arabian win and not religion itself.
People should be objective when talking and not be superstitious. Muslim countries remain underdeveloped only because they believe in superstitions and soothsayings. Now, read what wiki says on the demise of the Islamic Caliphate and explain why did it happen:
"Contemporary accounts state Mongol soldiers looted and then destroyed mosques, palaces, libraries, and hospitals. Priceless books from Baghdad's thirty-six public libraries were torn apart, the looters using their leather covers as sandals.
[36] Grand buildings that had been the work of generations were burned to the ground.
The
House of Wisdom (the Grand Library of Baghdad), containing countless precious historical documents and books on subjects ranging from medicine to astronomy, was destroyed. Claims have been made that the Tigris ran red from the blood of the scientists and philosophers killed.
[37][38] Tales of the destruction of books – tossed into the Tigris such that the water turned black from the ink - seem to originate from the 14th century.
[39][40]
Citizens attempted to flee, but were intercepted by Mongol soldiers who killed in abundance, sparing no one, not even children. Martin Sicker writes that close to 90,000 people may have died.
[41][42] Other estimates go much higher, but are almost certainly exaggerated.
[43]
The caliph Al-Musta'sim was captured and forced to watch as his citizens were murdered and his treasury plundered. According to most accounts, the caliph was killed by trampling. The Mongols rolled the caliph up in a rug, and rode their horses over him, as they believed that the earth would be offended if it were touched by royal blood. All but one of Al-Musta'sim's sons were killed, and the sole surviving son was sent to Mongolia, where Mongolian historians report he married and fathered children, but played no role in Islam thereafter (see
The end of the Abbasid dynasty)".
Please read authentic historical accounts to know the truth.
