    Without the Mongols the Ottoman Empire wouldn't even exist.

    Exactly. So the Mongols didn't ruin Muslim advancement and civilization.

    They have to thank the Mongols for coming to power in the first place. The Mongols destroyed the Seljuk empire which allowed other Turkish tribes such as the ottomans to revolt.

    I think it's pretty safe to say that the Mongols in fact did not ruin the cradle of civilization. Anyone care to disagree?
