If they find Genghis Khan's grave, we should locate a necromancer, bring him back, and put him in charge of the war against Islamofascist terrorists. He had great skill in dealing with those people.

Actually it was his grandson (Hulagu Khan?) who levelled Baghdad.

The problem is that many of his followers then converted toIslam and became the Seljuk and then Ottoman Turks

Your right about Bagdad, but I read a biography of his where he had sent some ambassadors to negotiate a trade agreement with an Islamic city in Central Asia - I think it may have been Samarkand. The Muslim ruler nailed the ambassadors to the city wall.

Bad move.

In his sixties Genghis led a huge Mongol army hundreds of miles and came up on the city from the direction least expected - the west - and levelled it.

I always liked Genghis. I might disagree with him on some points, but his methods got results.

On the positive side, he always respected ambassadors, tolerated all religions, and never used torture.
