If Genghis khan didn't siege Baghdad in 1258, would muslim culture be different right now?

Baghdad during the time was in a golden age in every sense of the term, hundreds or potentially thousands of years of history and science was destroyed by the Mongols in a few days. Fun fact, Genghis Khan fucked up Iraq so bad the population didn't recover until the 20th century. Baghdad itself was abandoned for centuries after the sacking. The rulers fucked up bad by sending the Mongol envoys heads back.

But yeah to answer your actual question, yeah it would likely be very different. Much more advanced.

>destroy the heart of Islam
>most of you outside of East Asia convert to Islam shortly thereafter
What did the Mongols mean by this?

based ghenghis khan, the original mudslime remover

Got a map for the time period?

What Empire/Sultanate did this city fall under?

Yea, there'd be two billion Muslims instead of one billion.

...

When the mongols started reading the books instead of burning them they realized Islam was the perfect warrior religion

Gengis never sacked Baghdad you niggers it was Hulagu khan, his grandson.

Baghdad was sacked in the year 1258 falling under the 37th and last Abassid Caliph

>perfect warrior religion
That's Judaism

The fighting of mongol houses is what brought about it's destruction. Clashing of religion (Islam and Christianity) is what did them in.

>he practices Jew-Jitsu

No hindus, China would be like India.

praise genghis ok

"The Abbassid Caliphate might have trickled along for a few more generations, but by then it was, and had been for centuries, simply a symbolic institution shorn of all real power.

Baghdad itself was on the downward slope of centuries of decline, but it housed libraries containing many rare tomes of both Islamic and Greco-Roman classics lost to the West by then. All of that knowledge went up in flames, and many books were forever lost to mankind. One of my personal favorites, Livy's History of Rome, survives today only in truncated form, with roughly half the books missing.

Baghdad's role as the intellectual and cultural center of Islam was also gone. The city had housed various universities, with a thriving scholarly and and cultural scene, full of intellectual ferment and relative openness. It served as a counterweight to an emerging reactionary strain of conservatism in Islam, epitomized by the anti rationalism of Al-Ghazali . With Baghdad in ruins, the conservative strain won out in Islam, with dire consequences for the future of the Islamic world."

The whole world would be different. The middle east would likely be largely sectarian and modern. Beyond this, Europe would not of advanced as it did, as it was the unification of the middle east and asian steppe that brought alot of trade to Europe and really got merchants going. Otherwise Europe would of just continued trading through dozens of middlemen or a friendlier sectarian empire.

More importantly, I would say that the middle east likely would be in the reverse position to Europe. That is it would be as poor and ignorant as it was for centuries during the Muslim golden age. The Mongols sacking the middle east allowed europe to have a breather from the constant attacks by the muslims. So right now, we would all either be muslim and talking about the terrorist christians, or maybe none of this would be here because no one left the old world, thus no industrial revolution.

Better question: How much better would the world be if the Mongols stopped after the conquered the Islamic world, and violently destroyed every trace of it? Would the world now be split between a unified east and unified west, with the East basically being a secular Asian society instead of a mix of that and backwards death cultists?
Fuck me, I really hate Islam.

Islamic world didnt have the tech or knowhow anymore to rebuild after the attack, so it was already on a slippery slope to oblivion. Idk if they would have turned as fanatic as now though without the siege

what happened to cause this downward trend?

also
>would of
would have nigger

No. If you have to blame an event that happened 750 years ago for your culture's inability to function, it's pretty clear evidence that your culture is made of fail and AIDS.

You are not very intelligent. A cut and paste job from a pro-Muslim source is not a valid alternative to proper understanding of the topic.

The Abassid weren't at the top of their power at the time. And in the city had 100000 Inhabitants. Don't exagerate too much.

>implying you didn't just google check the year
>implying that average canadian 3yo isn't smarter than russian college student
