The Mongols invasion of Baghdad is an absolute travesty from the knowledge that was lost.
I agree with this, but the Muslim caliphate brought it upon themselves with the forcible and violent conversion of people to Islam, "by the sword". It's a violent religion with violent origins that understands violence.
It wasn't Islam that made Baghdad the intellectual capital of the world, it was the fact that that was the birthplace of civilization.

But Christianity at the time was doing this to the same if not greater extent. I don't think that they needed to be treated as a scourge of the planet. Islam was less radical then than it is now.
