 All right guys welcome back to the channel if you're new man was Bobby guys today We're gonna react to the fascinating video the Mongol destruction of Baghdad by the channel history dose as a new river to Islam I'm learning every day about my faith However, I find it extremely important to learn about the history of Islam and this one extremely curious to react to today's video With no further ado guys. Let's have a look Passing under the shade of lustrous archways envoys reach the court of the Abbasid Caliph al-Mustasim The exalted spiritual head of all the millions of Sunni Muslims in the world The travelers come before him with a message from the world conqueror hula-koo Khan Talk of what the Mongol army has done to the world and those in it from the time of Jengis Khan until today May have reached your hearing do not try to accomplish the impossible Destroy your ramparts fill in your motes and come to us. You do not heed our advice They shall not leave one person alive in your realm There was seven just fun amazing hula-koo and a Mongol army of untold size right west to subjugate the world on the orders of the great Khan Monka The Caliph having previously failed to demonstrate submission to the Khan during the Mongol war against the order of assassins Now dares to insult hula-koo Young man you have just come of age and have expectations of living forever. You think your command is absolute For half a millennia the house of Abbas uncle to the Prophet Muhammad has ruled over Baghdad This video is epically done man respect The walls are high and strong the skyline made splendid by mosques in minarets From which the faithful are called to praise Allah streets weave among sweet gardens Colleges and libraries learned men chart the heavens and speak freely of mathematics Metaphysics in the ancient wisdom of Plato and Aristotle Preserves here in Arabic under the patronage of the abbasis the Islamic world has realized great Advancements in science and medicine built automata machines and clocks that run on water Women in this caliphate are restricted from nearly all public and economic activities in addition to Sunni There are religious minorities Shia Muslims Christians and Jews the fate of all rests in the hands of a man deemed weak a Caliph more disposed to carnal indulgence and treasure counting and to governance or battle He revels in the deeds of his forebears, and he tells hula-goo Khan Every monarch who has attacked the Abbasid dynasty in Baghdad has met a sad doom The foundation of this palace is extremely strong and will last until doomsday Hula-goo replies I shall bring you down miserably into the jaws of a lion Those were the days before Twitter It is important to notice well that the Caliph here gave into carnal pleasures they said So this man followed his desires and you can see that in every single empire every time the ruling elite falls into their desires the Empire falls Tens of thousands of Mongol Marauders ride to take the eastern mountains in the adjacent lands thousands the Christian Mongol general Kit Buka sees to it that the towns and people who waiver in their surrender is totally new to me Christian Mongols, please let me know in the comment section if you know anything about this guys I thought that the Mongols were pagans and not Christians Are reduced to slow and ash As they press onward hula-goo receives an offer from the caliph a considerable payment if the Mongols will turn back Hula-goo remarks since we have come all this way. How can we turn back without having seen the caliph? El Mustasim is easily swayed by the words of his divided court and the caliph's men resort now to threats Declaring that if hula-goo turns back immediately the caliph may yet decide to spare the Mongols Hula-goo laughs. What do I have to worry from the caliph and his troops? And so marshaled behind their general the DeWaddar the brave men of Baghdad ride to war The soldiers of the caliph will not permit the Mongols to reach the walls of their city They find a Mongol division some miles away the Mongols flee and the Abbasid soldiers roar and triumph as they pick off a few of the invaders and collect their heads But the retreat is only a bluff to draw the Abbasid troops out The Mongols rupture dykes and flood the plane behind their pursuers Then the fabled horse archers of the Khan ride after the Abbasid soldiers cutting them down with arrows and driving the others into the Water to drown The Mongols pick over the battlefield collecting gifts to send to hula-goo 12,000 Abbasid ears The DeWaddar rides back to Baghdad in haste The caliphs of old would have spirited up all the distant armies of Sunni Islam to the aid of the city But the throne no longer possesses such command Defenses are ill-prepared allies have not come over a hundred thousand Mongols now approach the city from every side The din of their march and their horrible shouts builds like a rising tide before the great house of Abbas The paths out are blocked Hula-goo Khan means to spare none and the lonely walls of Baghdad must now bear his fury The Mongols entrap the city with their own walls and a ditch and on January 29th of the year 1258 the storm begins Great stones pound the walls and streets day and night the Mongols charge against the gates People wail and stagger about to the sound of their wretched fate The frantic caliph attempts belated negotiations who rejects them Catapults bring down a strong tower on the eastern side and the stirring sea of Mongols flows over the high walls in The thousands they sweep over the ramparts killing all the garrison they find joining them are some thousands of their subject Christian troops from Armenia and Georgia eager to join the cause against their As long as you space along the city walls throngs of refugees pack on to boats and the Duwadar joins their escape Only to look out and see the Mongols have built bridges over the river They launch stones and incendiary projectiles at the boats attempting to leave They capture three vessels and kill everyone aboard The Duwadar turns back to the city and the caliph sends him to personally submit to hula goo The weary Abbasid soldiers follow Thousands of warriors cast down their weapons joined by hopeful civilians in peaceful submission The Mongols divide them up lead them from the city and kill all of them The heads of the Duwadar and two other officials are sent to their friend the governor of Mosul A reminder to those who have not yet submitted the king without an army al-Mustasim Finally emerges to surrender and hula goo did not exhibit any anger but asked after his health kindly and pleasantly After that he said to the caliph Tell the people of the city to throw down their weapons and come out so that we may make a count It's already a water caliph nothing else to do he's taken prisoner and the Mongols receive the people of Baghdad in the tens of 2000s and they pluck apart shaking families mothers and infants old and young a few they spare as slaves and craftsmen They kill the rest Seeping hills of heads and bodies stress see there's the main difference of course between war and Islamic conduct of war because within Islam you have rules of war and you do not capture Civilians you do not kill civilians you do not even destroy nature their ethical rules for war within Islam It is so hypocritical that nowadays Islam is seen as this evil evil war mongering religion a shallow sheet over the whole plane Then begins the long pillage and massacre of the city To undermine civilian resistance hula goo had promised to spare some segments of the population Including the minority Christian and Shia Muslim communities He holds true to this word and he sends the Mongols house To slaughter everyone else Who will go in his retinue go to the royal palace, and he commands the caliph to serve him a feast Who will go says you are the host, and we are the guests bring whatever you have that is suitable for us All the caliph trembles in fear as he opens his Treasuries hordes of fine clothes gold and gems amassed over five centuries the Mongols take all of it Not even the dead escape their wrath Mongols tear open the royal tomb Strag out the hallowed bones of old caliphs and set them ablaze Witness scratches words on a nearby wall the women Their living were killed and their dead were burnt Once great mosques and palaces are devoured by flames Houses of wisdom lie in charred readers not worthy to mention of course that the Mongols lived on a diet of raw meat raw horse blood and raw horse milk Riven corpses made extremely strong the putrid air carries flies and pestilence One chronicle records the dead lay as mounds in the streets in the markets rain fell on them Their faces were disfigured. They became an example to anyone who saw them The dead are said by some to number as high as 800,000 to 2 million one of the greatest atrocities in history The tension bloat of this foul scene offend even hula goo who moves his camp out of the city On February 20th, he summons the caliph and his followers The Mongols believe that heaven will curse any who spill noble blood upon the earth And so it is likely they rolled the caliph of Baghdad into a carpet and trampled him to death The Mongols kill nearly all In the eyes of many the line of succession from the prophet Muhammad has been cut This is a wound the Islamic world shall never forget And it's so insane that the Mongols later on become Muslims We really have to check out how that came about the waste by the house of Jengis Khan over the next two years The Mongols continue their conquests into Syria But in Egypt, there stands a great Islamic power Hula Gu Khan sends messengers to demand the surrender of these so-called Mamluks. The Mongol envoys never return All right, this is it for today's epic video. This must have been the quietest of ever been during a reaction video I really had not much to say this was all news to me Especially the part that the Mongols were actually Christians I never heard anything about this that the Mongols then spared the Christians and the Shias and moreover after watching such a video You of course have to wonder how did the Mongols became Muslims after this I heard that they've been defeated later on and this is when they accepted Islam But after having a history of fighting Islam in such a way even destroying all of Baghdad For them then to accept Islam is of course mind-blowing Please let me know in the comment section here guys if you have any videos on why the Mongols became Muslim For me as I said throughout the video This was a reminder of how beautiful Islam is of how ethical moral Islam truly is that Islam is not only a spiritual teaching But even for war Islam has ethical rules that need to be followed that stop people from such atrocities that the Mongols committed All right guys, but this is it for today's video If you liked it leave it a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed already guys Please do so and if you want to support this channel by a patron for example all the links are in the description box below Thank you so much for your ongoing support guys and as always may God bless you all much love and peace
