Hilarious anti-Islamic "history" spewing propaganda

supposedly Tamerlane was a 'defender of the faith' - but I think he was more of an animist myself.
Timur was Muslim. Are we taking about Genghis or Timur here?

of course I was just being facetious. Timur considered himself 'defender of the faithful' and razed many cities in India, building pyramids of Hindu skulls. Then he did the same to Baghdad, Damascus, Aleppo, etc. and was declared the enemy of Islam. So I was pointing out the irony that Babur being the direct descendant of both Timur and Genghis on opposite sides of his family, had such a different reputation.
 
this anti Islam site is an Atheist website just so you know

Where do you get that from? But if I were to try and pin it down, it put it somewhere in the Christian Right, as they are usually the most consistent and sensationalist of all the anti-Muslim groups.
 
Ah I see now, yeah at the real fruity extreme end of the athiest scale. But I bet they'll still let Christian Fundies on their "spaceships" somehow.
 
The more extreme groups get, the more they resemble their ideological opposites.

"No. To crush your enemies, and see them fall at your feet - to take their horses and belongings, and to hear the lamentation of their women. That is the best life."

that was so badass they gave the line to the Governator in Conan the Barbarian.

Timur was a member of the Barlas clan, who had converted to Islam long before his birth. If he retained any animistic beliefs, they alongside alongside his Islam, as was (and is) common at the edge of both the Islamic and Christian worlds.

Mongols were so fiercely trying to destroy Islam that they converted to it.
Did they? Or did Islam kill the Mongols and then transform itself too look like them, á la Terminator 2? Think about it.
 
What is this I don't even
The Mongol Spirit is personified today in Islam Karimov

Today the Mongol spirit that once expressed itself in the person of Changez Khan and Hulagu Kan expresses itself in the person of is Excellency Islam Karimov, the President of Uzbekistan.

Islam Karimov has terminated the Islamist insurgency in Uzbekistan with an iron hand In Uzbekistan (as in the world over) the Hizb-ut-Tahirir (HUT) wants to unseat the secular regime of Mr. Karimov and replace it with an Islamic Emirate like that of the Taliban. But in Uzbekistan, the HUT develops Cold Sweat, when they realize that they have been and would be vaporized into extinction if they faced the boiling rage of Mr. Karimov (no pun intended on “boiling” here).

Many liberal commentators would castigate Mr. Karimov’s tactics as savage, but all of them would have to grudge Mr. Karimov his success against the beasts of the HUT. This is the only successful way forward the world over with Islam, if we are to win the War on Terror. This is one lesson that we should learn from Hulagu’s sack of Baghdad in 1258 and the policies of Islam Karimov today.

Ah but this response to it was much better:

- "Hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper."

Just read a couple random lines, and the Mongols were apparently just pissed off Persians?

Well, the Khwarezem Shah had just executed their envoys, so I'm sure the Great Khan wasn't in the most charitable mood.

Especially when all he wanted at the time was to open the trade routes again (which would have been profitable for both sides).

Maybe I read it wrong, but what I read was that the Mongols were Persians pissed off at Islam.
