HARDLY.

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

he did have a way dealing with them, immolation, but only if they didn't surrender. If his foes surrendered and were willing to trade with his Empire, Ghenghis Khan allowed their leaders to continue in power, allowed full religious freedom, and created a free-trade zone from Beijing to the Balkans. He would even adopt a child or orphan from the leading families of the cities who surrendered to him, and literally bound his empire together through intermarriages, intellectual exchange and trade.

fantastic book on the Mongols: Ghenghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World http://www.longitudebooks.com/find/p/52961/mcms.html

Indeed. When an American Marine, Victor Chin put the US flag on Saddaam's statue, the Arab presstitutes started howling that the US was unleashing the hordes of Genghis Khan(Mr. Chin's family was originally from China)upon the Arabs, in order to sack Baghdad again!
