your right. One thing which was typical for the mongolian empire was the religious tolerance and the Pax Mongolica. They might be bastards in war but after that they were suprisingly tolerant.But the Mongols only killed you if you resisted (for the most part). If your city surrendered, you were probably spared. Would Hitler have let any Jews live if they surrendered to him? Ditto for Stalin with anyone marked for "purging."
Not to mention that the Mongols were pretty tolerant most of the time.
P.S. Ok, perhaps I'm a little bit biased in my opinion because I'm married with a mongolian. But on the other hand it gave me a little bit insight in the mongolian history as the mongols see it.
