  > They're all Muslims. Islam establishes that ethnicity does not matter. Yes I know. That's my point. The arabic domination of the muslim world was ended by the mongols. The mongol empire helped the rise of the ottoman and persian empire. In other words, the mongol empire was bad for arab muslims but great for turkic and persian muslims. > Arabs did not wipe out local populations, you'd want to look at the Crusades and Zionists for that. Neither did the mongols. That's my point. But the arabs wiped out local cultures and religions. Which the mongols did not. They actually safeguarded local cultures and religions. It's why so much mongol empire remained so diverse racially, ethnically, culturally, religiously, etc.

    > The arabic domination of the muslim world was ended by the mongols. Islam was never exclusive to the Arabs. One of the main tenants of Islam is that there is no difference between Arab and non-Arab, black and white, etc. > But the arabs wiped out local cultures and religions No they did not.
