> You mean Mongols did not do general massacre

Based on my understanding Mongols didn't kill people for their religious beliefs. They killed entire cities if the resisted which is very different from killing population to attain title of Gazi by killing infidels.

I would be happy to learn more if you have other resources.

I was refuting the claim that the Muslim were the only ones who did large scale massacres. You believe in a queer and ideology warped history history if you are ready to call Mongols tolerant and Islamic rulers (in particular, Akbar) not.

With massacre at that scale what difference does it make to those killed whether they were killed for religion or something else. Mongols killed those who did not accept Mongol rule.
