No actually not. Most of the Arab world was independent. Already told you that by using sources. You might take a look at the Ottoman maps. Morocco, Oman and various of other Arab kingdoms, sultanates, sharifates, emirates, sheikdoms were independent or regional powers. The Areas that were under Ottoman rule (Levant, most of Iraq, Hijaz and parts of Egypt and some coastal regions of Northern Africa) were largely self-governmed and had local rulers. It was not complete rule the way the Mongols did it for instance.
Well, the Mongols also ruled large parts of the world but they were still largely known as Barbarians and contributed very little to humanity outside of the military aspect.
I am just posting sources as a reply to your compatriots post number 265 in this thread that started this discussion. I do not consider any people as Barbarians. What is important is what other people/civilizations considered people x or y as.
Then tell me about the World Unesco Heritage Sites that Turks made. I never said that they did not make any I just don't know about any. I mean alone in Spain and Portugal I can mention many World UNESCO Heritage sites that Arabs helped built.
