Accepting converts to Islam as equals.
Brief explanation: The Abbasids gained support from non-Arab converts (mawali) and promoted a more inclusive, cosmopolitan administration (centered in Baghdad), in contrast to the Umayyads. They did not build their capital at Jerusalem, did not emphasize western expansion (that was the Umayyads), and they survived for centuries before Baghdad fell to the Mongols in 1258.
