I can't believe that you are spreading patently disinformation on this board.
So you're comparing the occupation of Spain with the Mongol atrocities?
..Score.
The Mongols never made it to Spain. Al-Andalus was a major hub of Islamic scholarship and did not disappear even with the Reconquista, as Islamic texts were translated into Latin by the Christians.
Over the centuries into the modern era, Islam has become more anti-intellectual, that's why so few Muslims have won the Noble Prize.
