Mongols were a mixed bag - you had buddhism, shamanism, various folk-faiths, and even the occasional streak of islam - all rolled into one big, happy horde.

Tibetans were a pretty rough bunch, but I attribute that to geography - mountain folk tend to be rough around the edges.

Genghis Khan was not a Buddhist. The Mongols were indeed a mixed bag, suprisingly religiously tolerant, hosting debates between faiths etc.

Tibetans: You’d be warlike too if your neighbors were Mongolia and China.
