Assume that the Abbassids failed in their revolt against the Umayyads around 750 CE. How would that have affected the Muslim Caliphate besides leaving the capital at Damascus (for the time being)? How would the Shiites (who, in OTL, fled to North Africa just before 800 CE) have fared? Would this have led to fiercer competition from the Berber/Kharijite states in North Africa than in OTL? And to a different Caliphate of Cordoba, if at all?
