The public schools have always taught with an agenda.
When I went to school I learned that Genghis Khan was an evil horrible person who massacred and killed indiscrimately as he extended his empire West. I found out in later life that what I was taught was bunk. It is true that Genghis Khan sought an immense empire and his Mongol Army took city after city. What I wasn’t taught was that he did not want to destroy the cities or kill the citizens of these cities. He only wanted commerce. He would march into a city round up the top leadership and usually eliminate them and leave the middle leaders and citizens as loyal subjects in his empire. He did this always, until he encountered his first Muslim city. His armies had so many problems with the muslims and the islamic culture that he finally decided that Muslim cities, when captured, would have to be razed to the ground and all the muslims killed, because the problems with muslims were too much.
The only cities he ever utterly destroyed were Muslim.
I’m thinking that he wasn’t quite the monster the liberal school systems made him out to be.
I recall when Genghis Kahn was slandered by John Kerry.
Nothing has really changed, for the culture of ignorance, delusion and arrogance that is islam.
Suffice to say that when the Mongols first approached the existing cultures to the west, the Khan sent emisaries to the most powerful of his immediate neighbors, islam, seeking accomodations and agreements.
The emisaries were promptly executed.
