[QUOTE="frannkzappa"]
the mongols had a very loose religion which they never imposed on anyone, and allowed all conquered states to retain their religions.
in fact the mongols are considered one of the the most religiously tolerant group in history. oh and this golden age of Islamic learning was also brought about by mongol rule, in fact the Renaissance was caused by the mongols too.
i could list forever the contributions of the mongols, they are a people to be respected.

What about the invasion and destruction of Bagdad?
I never personally heard any book praising the mongols for other than their war tactics.
please check out this book, i read it in high school , a real eyeopener.
and yes the mongols were brutal, but they were remarkably less so then the rest of the world.
for example torture was extremely taboo in their religion, as was most forms of bloodshed. which is why they relied on the bow , as to see or touch blood in mongol culture was considered highly disgusting.
