Oh I'm not denying any of that. Obviously the Mongols were brutal, and the siege of Baghdad ended the Golden Age in that part of the Muslim world. What I'm saying is that decline in West Asia was matched by equal progress in Central Asia and had little to no effect on Al-Andalus, so the Golden Age was still going strong after Baghdad fell.
