Best Answer

The seljuk Turks are considered to be important because they ruled over Persia, Iraq, Syria, and Anatolia. After the defeat of the Byzantine empire the Turks led in a way to the crusades which at that time was good (in a way) because the European Christians brought lots of new ideas and mixed culture with the Muslims. They blended ideas such as taxation on farmers which led the way for the Empire to be more economically stable. By having the economy stable they had the money to built new schools, roads, and religious centers unto which Muslims would gather for prayer. By having these religious centers the society would be more united and less problems would arrise in the umma (community) such as cheating, and the killing of innocent people.
