      Hi Kings and Generals. Could you video documentary explain why the royalty of the kingdom of Adiabene has a palace in Jerusalem and there relation to the Jewish state and the Herodians and Hasmoneans. Why there is another royal family living in Jerusalem aside from the Hasmoneans and Herodeans. Adiabene is a vassal of Parthia very weird for them to live in Jerusalem in Judea a Roman vassal.

      @Skeptical Atheist Do you know that the Islamic empire does not force followers of other religions to convert to Islam and gives freedom to followers of other religions to practice their religion? for example, one of the islamic empires in india, the Mughal empire, gave freedom to Hindus to practice their religion and did not force them to convert Islam, which is why until now there are Hindus. another example, the Ottoman Empire, there are other religions besides Islam such as christianity and jew
      in the teachings of islam, islam cannot force the followers of other religions to convert to islam and cannot kill them if they do not convert to islam. The Islamic government must protect its people even if they are not Muslims.

It was fhe mongols who were tortured and tried to subdued Muslims but even they end up embracing Islam afterwards. Also, it’s also the West who’s attacking Muslim countries with the fake “war on terror” and ironically Islam is the fastest growing faith in the West.
      Now, your delusional hatred and failed foreign policies will also end up Islam more people embracing Islam.

    What amazes me, Islam spread to the Mongolian people without conquest/war/expansion routes, but the Mongolian people themselves were touched in their hearts and embraced the religion of the people they conquered. Just like the Manchurian people who conquered the Han people, but the Manchurian people themselves assimilated into the Han people.

    Probably only event in history where the rulers converted to the religion of people whom they subjugated. Truly amazing to learn the circumstances which led to conversion of Mongols to Islam. This is similar to the modern experience of so many people embracing Islam in the Western world where stereotyping and cultural attack on Islam is rampant. Islam has a very convincing message about God, creation and purpose of life. It explains with precision the questions that occupies every human mind. In Islam everyone is equal, be it ruler or the ruled. Muslims submit only to God.

    Despite being a victorious nation, it's truly amazing that the Mongols had embraced the religion and culture of a defeated nation. This has never happened before in the history. After embracing Islam, most of them went from violent to civilized. And this is the beauty of Islam.

      Back in the day there were only two options, either the conquerors accepted the faith and traditions of the land they conquered, which happened very frequently or they imposed their own way of life and faith.
      Huns, Kushans and many more were foreign invasion into India and they accepted the local culture n faith.
      Before Islam all the foreign powers that came into India took to the local customs, it was Islam that converted a lot of people to its own traditions either by force or by people's own choice who wanted to escape the monstrosity of the caste system.

      It has happened before in history, sorry to burst your bubble. The Norse converted to Christianity despite the fact that they had never lost to any Christian power, because it allowed them greater diplomatic contacts and unified their realms. Same reason Islam was successful, might I add. It's also quite racist of you to suggest that Islam "civilised" hitherto "uncivilised" peoples. They had their own way of life and customs.

      this narration is all based on modern historians of west and Europe who are always known for their biaseness and many times declared unacceptable for their hands on Islamic history.
      Go learn their true history from the descendants of mongols who embraced Islam.
      Truth is:
      Mongols were never educated nor they were human enough while treating others. When they learnt peaceful and just way of Islamic life and found out about Qur'an, the mongols (many kings, princes, commanders, etc.) had the holy Qur'an narrated and were amazed.
      whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land- it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.... Qur'an 5:32.
      Mongols learnt about the two lives (this one and the afterlife) and how a muslim king could lead a life of material poverty while enriching his afterlife. The strict rules or ban on rape, extortion, murders, theft during those times under the guidance of Qur'an opened their eyes to follow the path to truth.
      Mughals (mongol empire in India spanning for several centuries) in many of their recorded writings are found to mention constantly these terms "pride and arrogance". As Islam preaches in equality and justice where a king and a slave, blacks and whites, arabs and non-arabs, all are equal and what differentiates is good deeds and bad deeds. This also amazed many of the mongols.
      Bottom line: Narrate history by compiling all accounts and more importantly with those of the region. you narrating mongol history by referring to western historian is totally Bullshit.

Pagan rituals are *expensive.* You have to find certain items(which are usually sold) and visit a shaman and have god knows what done to you. Some rituals were quite violent. While Christianity and Islam just requires you to pray for a few minutes and be at ease.

    They used Uyghur scholars for communications with other people around. Uygurs knew Persian and different dialect of Turkic language. They were partially Muslim and were the first people to translate Kuran to Turkic.
    They have developed millitary first aid methods that were used from China to Iran. In Iran this called Tork-e Chare (Turkic aid).

Uzbeks, Turkmen more to Persian, their cloth, architecture, writing script and tradition but spoke Turkic, Turkish in Anatolia mixed Syrian/Levant Arab architecture, tradition with Byzantine.

      But regarding the matter, the message of the video was pretty clear in terms that Mongols did not treat religious affection as seriosuly and close to heart than the original communities. That's why they allowed themselves to easily break the laws of Islam for their own sake And their lifestyle and mindsets did not allow the swift and total convertion. That's why, even though they adapted new religion, they continued with some elements of their previous lifestlyes and beliefs. And again, using the religion for the political means is also obvious.

      Fun fact : Mughal empire (mongol sultanate of india) is the reason why islam spread in India and made it extremely rich and it's why it has variety of cultures in there
      That was before the Brits invade and Sikhs betray the empire

      ​@@mohammedyassine9263not really, Mughal empire was persian in nature with some arab ifluences. The mongols were never able to conquer the Indian subcontinent. They tried but were defeated by the Delhi Sultanate but also because they were busy with their campaigns in the middle east.

      @@7sunit true, but the first Mughal Ruler Babur's mother was a daughter after ten generations from Chagatai Khan (Cengiz Khan's son) and Babur's father was related to Timur who fought against the Ottomans. So you could say that the Mughals were indeed descendents of the Mongols.
