750 YEARS WITHOUT THE ABBASIDS.

February 10th 2008 is the sad 750th anniversary of the fall of Baghdad and the demise of the Abbasid Empire established in 750. On February 10th 1258 the hordes of Mongol prince Hulagu sacked Baghdad. One the World's greatest city was destroyed up to a million people massacred. The Abbasid Empire was the largest Empire of its time. It stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to China. During 508 years it was ruled by 38 Caliphs of the Abbasid dynasty, direct descendants of the Prophet Abraham through the male line. 10 days after the fall of Baghdad the last Caliph Al-Mustasim perished the death of a martyr. Several of his sons fled to different countries. The Syrian line spread itself and gained importance. Emirs Ruslan and Iskander belong to it. 750 years have passed but Iraq is still in the paws of barbarians...

Abbasi - King Abdullah II of Jordan.

Thanks for your post on my talk page. It took a while to discover that you were talking about article Abbasi. The addition of the copy was an accidental revert that happened when I was deleting some other unacceptable content. See the article talk page for a more detailed reply. Thanks again for informing me of the error. In the future it would help if you could post a link to the article you are refering to rather than just mentioning the subject.
