The Story of Inalchik Xair-Dindu Khan

This Khizr Khan the demmunists have dug up may be some sort of a descendant of a sort of a famous historical character. The names are similar enough and the mindset and rhetoric seem totally similar... I've always assumed that the "Xair" part of the name was a sort of a title which meant "Flunkie" or something like that...

In the early part of the 13'th century there were two great powers in the muslim world, the caliphate in Baghdad, and the Eastern Turkish empire which was called Khwarism and which controlled the Silk Road and was centered on the Silk Road cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, Merv, Urgange etc. The Shah of this Khwarism empire was named Muhammad and he had a son in law or relative named Inalchik Xair-Dindu Khan who was the governor of the border city of Otrar who, with Muhammad's permission and blessings, intercepted a Mongolian trade caravan, killed everybody and took everything and, when Genghis Khan sent four ambassadors to figure out WTF had happened, burned their beards off and sent them back like that to show Genghis Khan how bad he was....

Of course, if you had to pick the very last person in the entire history of the planet that you'd ever want to try to play any sort of a game like that with, it would be Genghis Khan. The story ended very badly for Inalchik Xair-Dindu and the rest of his family and business associates. The story is famous in the Middle and Far East if not in the Western world.

This Youtube video is a fairly good film produced in Mongolia and dubbed into Russian. Inalchik Xair-Dindu is sort of easy to tell from the other characters, he's the one having molten silver poured into his eyes and ears by the Mongols...

The way I've read the story, Genghis Khan's son Tolui looked at Inalchik Xair-Dindu and said "You're in a heapa trouble, boy..." and Inalchik Xair-Dindu replied "I dindu nuffin..." and the mongols decided he rated something fancier than just chopping his head off.
