Just as the title says, what would the consequences of a failed siege of Baghdad be? How would Islam evolve,and how would the Mongols evolve?

Discuss.
 
If the Assassins put up a fight at Alamut, you just might be able to stop them long enough for the Abbasids to get their act together.

After that, of course, massive changes, with a much stronger Abbasids and a very different Middle East altogether.
 
I suspect that this could also strengthen the Ayyubids and weaken the would-be crusaders from Europe soon after.
