Islam was by no means peaceful at that point. read the histories. The intellectualism in that are was due to it's proximity to earlier civilizations and infrastructure, essentially, Not Islam.

With the exception of mathematics they didn't do much on their own, just stole knowledge from other cultures.

No one ever said that it was. Can you make an argument that ANY major religion was peaceful at that time?

So what? Prior to the sacking of Baghdad there existed a major Islamic state that was much less backwards than what followed. A great city and a lot of knowledge were lost and Islam became much more fundamentalist. The world is a worse place today because of the fall of Baghdad.

All of these things could apply equally to Christianity, and these applications would be equally misleading.
But why bother learnin someone who knows everything, because they've read "the histories"? What histories, exactly?
Besides, the whole point of Dan Carlin's podcast is that the Mongols aren't role models in any sense.
