Sword of Islam, as in "I will put Islam to the sword".
The Abbasids since their inception were largely deviants or heretics, and stopped being relevant in the 930s when they became puppets of the Twelver-Shia Buyid dynasty. By the late 900s their eastern and western provinces broke away under the rule of Iranic, Turkic and Amazigh dynasties, which marked the first time that orthodox Sunni Muslim dynasties came to power in the post-Rashidun era.
By the mid 1000s, the Abbasid territory was largely isolated to Southern Iraq alone. You'll notice during the Crusades that the Abbasids, or any Arab dynasty for the matter, are nowhere to be found. It was Turkic, Iranic and Amazigh dynasties fighting back against the Crusaders, and subsequently against the Iberian Conquistadors and Mongol-led Ilkhanate.
Baghdad being the epicenter of the Abbasids was likely fated to suffer divine retribution for its past heresies, which came in the form of the city being sacked on multiple occasions.
He didn't have enough cool skull pyramids.
Accounts like those are usually exaggerated language.
>iranic dynasties fought against crusaders/conquistadors/mongols

It was Zengid Turks, Ayyubid Kurds, Hafsid Amazigh, and Mamluq Turks who defeated the Crusaders.
It was Mamluq Turks who defeated the Mongol-led Ilkhanate.
It was Amazigh Almoravids that sent reinforcement to Andalusia to hold back the Catholic Conquista.
Arabs have never once saved non-Arab Muslims from persecution or genocide, but it's always been the other way around.
The Seljuks who first fought the Crusaders, were a mix of Turkic and Iranic. The Crusaders described them as "Turks and Persians". The Zengids and Ayyubids were among the successors of the Seljuks after the empire fell into a state of civil conflict between numerous competing factions.

Read the post you replied to. The first line and the last line.
Kurds and Persian are Iranic.
Saladin is kurd and Baibars isn’t Iranian
>Saladin is kurd and Baibars isn’t Iranian
Congratulations. You just reiterated what I said here:

>Timur marched into these vacuums and then moved on the Middle East, successfully laying siege to Baghdad, Antioch, and Damascus. Outside Damascus he met with the great North African historian and scholar Ibn Khaldun, who pleaded for him not to pillage the old Umayyad capital. Timur plied the elderly thinker with probing questions, and Ibn Khaldun responded with flattering remarks, tracing Timur’s ancestry back to Nebuchadnezzar. But Timur sacked Damascus anyway.
>At Damascus Timur herded thousands of residents into the Friday mosque and set it ablaze. At Izmir on the eastern Mediterranean he beheaded all the captured soldiers of the defending Ottoman army and then lobbed their heads by catapult onto the ships on which others were fleeing the port. At Aleppo, Baghdad, Tikrit, Isfahan, Delhi, and other conquered cities, Timur ordered the construction of what he called “minarets” of the skulls of the defeated populace.6
You really buy the colorful dumb shit in that second paragraph?? If you read into the account about the Songhai Empire's first king, the writers claim Sunni Ali crushed babies in mortars.
There is zero chance that Timur "herded thousands of residents into the Friday mosque and set it ablaze". What conquering Muslim leaders typically do is make the Friday sermon recite their name as being the new leader.
Medieval European writers wrote insane things about opponents, but weirdly enough nobody brings them up and they get brushed under the rug as if nobody should notice. Some writers even claimed Muslims were led by Amazonian women. Try reading ancient Greek and Roman sources, they write about supernatural myths as if they are fact.
He actually did larp as an alid/Sayyid though. It's even on his epitaphs. The man was just a schizo

Maybe its because he was a mutt in a extreme multicultural place
It happens to racemixed people, they are generally schizos about their identity
They dont know what are they
Timur i Lang (Tamerlame) invaded the Middle East after his invasion of India. He slaughtered, tortured and raped his own co-religionist Sunni Muslims across Iraq and Syria. Timur's Tatar (Turco-Mongol Central Asian) Sunni soldiers gang raped Sunni Arab women and virgins girls of Iraq and Syria in their own mosques.
This is the story of horror that the Turco Mongol conqueror Timur inflicted upon the Sunni Muslim Arabs of Baghdad, Aleppo and Damascus. His soldiers gang raped girls while their brothers and fathers were tortured and forced to watch in the mosques.
They say the descendants of his Turco-Mongol soldiers are found among the Sunni Arab populations of those places today due to the amount of virgin girls that were violated. Iraqi Arabs are the rape children of Timur.
All Arab women were violated and raped by Turks, Mongols, Ethiopians, Persians, Armenians etc.
Oh boy, Schizo Chang bot is here with his spam floods.
And the Arabs as a whole weren't orthodox Sunni.
The Abbasids were literally puppets of the Twelver-Shia Buyids just a few centuries ago, and before that they propagated the Mu'tazili heresy as their state religion.
When the Abbasids were Sunni, they specifically promoted Hanbalism while actively repressing Asharism.
Ashari-Maturidi = Orthodox Sunni Islam
Hanbali = Athari (not orthodox) Sunni Islam.
Twelver Shia = heretics.
He didn't have enough cool skull pyramids.
He was lame (read: cringe, dripless)
Nah that hat is bussin, fr fr
my man Timur just wanted to protect Islam, no need to hate
>calls himself the "sword of Islam"
>wrecks the Middle East, the heart of the Muslim world
What did he mean by this?

He was probably just having a bad day that extended to his entire life.

You wouldn't be one of his armies rapebabies from Damascus by any chance? Still butthurt after 600 years?
Butthurt about what, if I'm questioning exaggerated accounts?
You sound like the rape baby.
some chads just want to watch the world burn
