8000 Muslims massacred by White, racist European non-Muslims. All Euro vs Euro

[WinterHold]

The mongols were much later than the Crusades but it was the reaction to their repeated raids against the various muslim kingdoms that actually did cause the violent reaction against xtians which too many people think happened in the 7th century. 

The reason for that is quite simple.

In modern times the Mongols are primarily Tibetan Buddhists, but in previous eras, especially during the time of the Mongol empire (13th–14th centuries), they were primarily shamanist, and had a substantial minority of Christians, many of whom were in positions of considerable power.[1][2] Overall, Mongols were highly tolerant of most religions, and typically sponsored several at the same time. Many Mongols had been proselytized by the Church of the East since about the seventh century,[3] and some tribes' primary religion was Nestorian. In the time of Genghis Khan, his sons took Christian wives of the Keraites, and under the rule of Genghis Khan's grandson, Möngke Khan, the primary religious influence was Christian.

They seem like they never cared about the religion of their enemy; to be honest they treated everybody with equal hostility from the Chinese to the Christians of eastern Europe. Even with the Islamic kingdoms of that time, actions done by the Islamic Khwarezmian kingdom was the reason it all started with the Middle East.

I didn't know that the early Mongols had Christians in their ranks, but I know about the big figures that converted to Islam like Timur:

Ironically he that didn't stop him from butchering other Muslims; just like conversion to Christianity didn't stop Christian Mongols from killing other Christians.

The only thing common between them and the vikings -in my opinion- is the integration with other populations, leaving the "bitter flavor" of Mongols emptying whole towns aside.

I think the religious stances of Mongol people (their tolerance to other faiths) were mainly because of their Tengriism.
