| #8 IIRC while the old guy believed (or convinced his incorporated fellow tribes) he had 'divine' authority (didn't they all play that game), they didn't carry out their destructive and conquering ways beyond that and had no book to rationalize their behavior or justify their imposition of servitude on their victims. |

| #5 The old Mongol approach was to destroy everything they couldn't use or move. After burning his why in to China, the Great Khan was advised by a captive Chinese official that maybe its of more value to the Khan to have people around the make the silk, dig the gold, and basically pay him off with goodies rather than just outright kill them. The Khan decided that there was something to this, I guess you could call it, tolerance. Far more based on greed rather than any real mercy. "What's in it for me" isn't supporting anything other than a 'return on investment'. |

| #3 Yes, as long as they were Dhimmis who pay the tax in humiliation, did not show their religious symbols or worship in public. They has zero legal rights or recourse. Otherwise it's convert, or die. Just a few trivial items they forgot to include in their report... Just more of that 'ISIS is not islamic' bullsh*t. |

| #2 sounds fishy if the documents discovered are before 632 and are in Egypt and Iran then they can't have been of Moslem origin since Islamic conquests of those areas was well after that date |
