Why was the Sack of Baghdad by the Mongols so Important?

by SlappyBurger

While I do realize that many people lost their lives due to the destruction of the city, what effect did the event directly leave on the area and/or culture of the Middle East?

EDIT: Not related to school in any way, just curious.
