  • How did the Mongols Destroy Baghdad in 1258?
    The destruction of Baghdad in 1258 was a devastating event in the history of the city and the Islamic world. It occurred when the Mongol forces of Hulagu Khan captured and sacked the city, marking the end of the Abbasid Caliphate. The once-glorious city, renowned as a center of learning and culture, was left in ruins, its libraries and palaces burned, and its citizens murdered or enslaved. The events of that day marked a turning point in the history of Baghdad, and the city would never fully recover during the next centuries from the destruction wrought by the Mongols. The sack of Baghdad remains a symbol of the brutality and violence of Mongol expansion.

      Internal politics with different factions and power grabs was always dangerous anywhere, anytime you go. Go back to even the Bronze Age powers. Rome was famous for it. The different dynasties of Imperial China had many problems with court intrigues, power plays, usurpers, etc.
      Sultan Qutuz, who had a great victory against the Mongols at Ain Julut, 1260 AD, was on his way home, celebrating the achievement. Then he was assassinated by members of his own court during the return, with help of one of his leading generals, Baybars, who became Sultan afterwards.

He annihilated a Rus army with about 80.000 or more soldiers with only 23.000 mounted soldiers in 1223 near the Kalka river in what is today Sibiria. and this attack was only a recon expedition - the real invasion came in the 1240ies, leaving kiev and other rus city states in flames.

      This Guy is Pushing Sunni Propaganda. Muslims were not harmed in any way by the Mongols, The Mongols were peaceful people who the Sunnis Dared to Provoke. He also fails to mention Sunnis killed Mongol Envoy and sent its Severed head back to the Mongol Khan not to mention Sunnis Raiding Mongol Trade Convoys and looting and Raping and Killing Mongol Men, Women and Children. They paid for what they deserved and their King also suffered the same Consequences as Sunnis did to the Fatimid Shia Empire. The western propaganda of calling the loss of Sunnis as a loss of Muslim World is completely wrong. In Fact the Mongols liberated many of the Oppressed Religious Communities by the Sunni Tyrants ruling them. The Fall of Baghdad should be celebrated as Liberation of Baghdad from Sunni Tyrants and thanks to the Mongols today 80% of Baghdad is inhabited by Muslim who follow the True path of Islam of Prophet Mohammad and his Successor Hazrat Ali. This is old Tactic of Sunnis Playing Victim Card. People will call Mongols as Barbarians but won't call Salahuddin who destroyed the History City of Cairo and killed it's Inhabitants and Burnt the University of Cairo as Barbarian. He Forced them to convert to Religion of Abu Bakr and Umar and Massacred who refused. The First University in the world was built by Shias in Cairo and Sunni Tyrant Salahuddin Burnt it and to this day Sunnis still use it to spread their ideology today it's called Al Azhar University. This just shows the Hypocrisy of the Intellectuals who favour Sunni Narrative and their false propaganda over Truth and Reality.

      This Guy is Pushing Sunni Propaganda. Muslims were not harmed in any way by the Mongols, The Mongols were peaceful people who the Sunnis Dared to Provoke. He also fails to mention Sunnis killed Mongol Envoy and sent its Severed head back to the Mongol Khan not to mention Sunnis Raiding Mongol Trade Convoys and looting and Raping and Killing Mongol Men, Women and Children. They paid for what they deserved and their King also suffered the same Consequences as Sunnis did to the Fatimid Shia Empire. The western propaganda of calling the loss of Sunnis as a loss of Muslim World is completely wrong. In Fact the Mongols liberated many of the Oppressed Religious Communities by the Sunni Tyrants ruling them. The Fall of Baghdad should be celebrated as Liberation of Baghdad from Sunni Tyrants and thanks to the Mongols today 80% of Baghdad is inhabited by Muslim who follow the True path of Islam of Prophet Mohammad and his Successor Hazrat Ali. People will call Mongols as Barbarians but won't call Salahuddin who destroyed the History City of Cairo and killed it's Inhabitants and Burnt the University of Cairo as Barbarian. He Forced them to convert to Religion of Abu Bakr and Umar and Massacred who refused. The First University in the world was built by Shias in Cairo and Sunni Tyrant Salahuddin Burnt it and to this day Sunnis still use it to spread their ideology today it's called Al Azhar University. This just shows the Hypocrisy of the Intellectuals who favour Sunni Narrative and their false propaganda over Truth and Reality.

He also fails to mention Sunnis killed Mongol Envoy and sent its Severed head back to the Mongol Khan not to mention Sunnis Raiding Mongol Trade Convoys and looting and Raping and Killing Mongol Men, Women and Children. They paid for what they deserved and their King also suffered the same Consequences as Sunnis did to the Fatimid Shia Empire. The western propaganda of calling the loss of Sunnis as a loss of Muslim World is completely wrong. In Fact the Mongols liberated many of the Oppressed Religious Communities by the Sunni Tyrants ruling them. The Fall of Baghdad should be celebrated as Liberation of Baghdad from Sunni Tyrants and thanks to the Mongols today 80% of Baghdad is inhabited by Muslim who follow the True path of Islam of Prophet Mohammad and his Successor Hazrat Ali. People will call Mongols as Barbarians but won't call Salahuddin who destroyed the History City of Cairo and killed it's Inhabitants and Burnt the University of Cairo as Barbarian. He Forced them to convert to Religion of Abu Bakr and Umar and Massacred who refused. The First University in the world was built by Shias in Cairo and Sunni Tyrant Salahuddin Burnt it and to this day Sunnis still use it to spread their ideology today it's called Al Azhar University. This just shows the Hypocrisy of the Intellectuals who favour Sunni Narrative and their false propaganda over Truth and Reality.

As for military bando, every army had military bando in history, for instance Timur also used military bando in Battle of Ankara 1402 against Bayezid I, similarly even Alexander 1800 years ago, used military bando. Military bando was common all over the world because it is very crucial in Battlefield. For Piri Reis's maps, Europeans drew hundreds of world maps before Piri Reis and Piri Reis said in his Kitab-ı Bahriye that He used 34 different European map to draw his own map.
      Ottomans just like other big empires Persian and Roman Empires, invented little things comparison to their power. For instance, Ismail al-Jazari who is one of the greatest Scientist of Islamic World lived under small principality, Artuqid Dynasty in Anatolia, Ottomans couldn't raise Scientist like Ismail al-Jazari. They were simply overconfident and they thought that they can bring every inventions by calling engineers and scientists all over the world.

      This Guy is Pushing Sunni Propaganda. Muslims were not harmed in any way by the Mongols, The Mongols were peaceful people who the Sunnis Dared to Provoke. He also fails to mention Sunnis killed Mongol Envoy and sent its Severed head back to the Mongol Khan not to mention Sunnis Raiding Mongol Trade Convoys and looting and Raping and Killing Mongol Men, Women and Children. They paid for what they deserved and their King also suffered the same Consequences as Sunnis did to the Fatimid Shia Empire. The western propaganda of calling the loss of Sunnis as a loss of Muslim World is completely wrong. In Fact the Mongols liberated many of the Oppressed Religious Communities by the Sunni Tyrants ruling them. The Fall of Baghdad should be celebrated as Liberation of Baghdad from Sunni Tyrants and thanks to the Mongols today 80% of Baghdad is inhabited by Muslim who follow the True path of Islam of Prophet Mohammad and his Successor Hazrat Ali. This is old Tactic of Sunnis Playing Victim Card. People will call Mongols as Barbarians but won't call Salahuddin who destroyed the History City of Cairo and killed it's Inhabitants and Burnt the University of Cairo as Barbarian. He Forced them to convert to Religion of Abu Bakr and Umar and Massacred who refused. The First University in the world was built by Shias in Cairo and Sunni Tyrant Salahuddin Burnt it and to this day Sunnis still use it to spread their ideology today it's called Al Azhar University.

    That was the tragic fate caused by having an incompetent ruler. Perhaps if Baghdad decided to continue fighting, they might have a better chance of survival than simply being massacred without putting a fight. They may still lose the battle, but at the very least, they could inflict higher casualties to the Mongol army. May Allah place the souls of Baghdad syahid (matyr) among His blessed servants.

      Islam is both literally and figuratively the state itself.
      Rules that have been written down and appraised for centuries and some of the greatest scholars on earth took centuries in codifying the Sharia law through multiple different affirmative sources.
      The religion was probably more finely tuned than the hairs on a human body.
