Same as OTL, or stronger? i think if we could replace the fatimids to zangid and then the mamluks and in the east, umayyad in exile around tunis (carthage) and then resurgence following however they are then defeated by the seljuks who the seljuks in turn fall to the mongols (is abosrbed however) who in then fall to the ottomons. I'm thinking umayyad based in algers, possibly alhomad in tunis (before fall by the byzantines who its remaining territory is eventually swallowed up by the umayyads with the help of the byzantines [i'll explain inter-sultanate politics endevoured by the komnenos dynasty and later the palagious] in 1453 [suprise, suprise have a mirror fall]) the ottomons based in damascus, the mamluks in alexandria constantly via for supremacy against the seljuks and the ottomons and the seljuks in baghdad. (All of this im gonna try photoshopping soon but i want to possibly discuss further on your ideas)
