I think the Islamic Golden Age ended when the Mongols invaded no?

I reckon it happened with the cruzades. The response to this aggression more or less started the process of closing the islamic world in itself. Not that the Mongol invasion weren´t damaging, but when they came, the islamic golden age was already in the end.
