Is it a bad thing? No, it somehow aided our expansion, as we Turks(and the Mongyul) believed we were on a "divine mission from God" to unite the world under a single Sky ever since our pre-muslim times.
With the coming of Islam, and the idea of shehadet, we have been ever more so motivated for conquest. And we have arcieved more than what we expected, establishing Dynasties throughout the Eurasian continent, spanning back to India, and previously, China aswell.
A truly fantastic achievement for a people with pitiful and ephemeral aspirations.
