The Shaykh :"Oh, would that when they ruled by his removal *** they had not raised the banners of Genghis Khan"
This means that, may Allah protect us, they combined negligence and belittling of the Book and the Sunnah with raising the banner of disbelief and tyranny. Thus, they called out to what Genghis Khan and other leaders of the atheists said, and they rejected what came in the Book and the Sunnah.
"Oh, woe to them, and they turned to the results of their thought *** and thereby decisively ruled upon the Qur'an"
This means: that they returned to ideas and left the Qur'an, making them the authority over them. And what comes after that?

The Shaykh :"And the scum of them turned to the indications of Ibn Sina *** when they turned to the logic of the Greeks"

It is attributed to the Greeks because this calamity that befell the Muslim community came when the Greek and Roman books were translated into Arabic, as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) stated.
