Some of the Mongol tribes were literate, so we have written collections of the history and traditions of the Mongols. One of the most telling is Genghis Khan's purported statement. While still in his formative years as a rising chieftain, he once asked some friends what the greatest pleasure was. After they variously answered hunting, falconry, or archery, Genghis is reputed to have said:

"The greatest joy a man can know is to conquer his enemies and drive them before him. To ride their horses and take away their possessions. To see the faces of those who were dear to them bedewed with tears, and to clasp their wives and daughters in his arms"

And what is wrong with that?

Who would not wish the same on those who have beheaded our fellow Americans and their allies.

I would gladly make suffer so.

Genghis Khan was a great man. To destroy one's enemies as sheep is a great joy. Its a pleasure western civlization should rediscover.

That sounds exactly like what Conan the Barbarian says: True joy is to defeat your enemies, to drive them ....
