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.
It’s an odd thing that one of the most feared and warlike peoples of comparatively recent history also practiced a religious tolerance that puts most peaceful and secular socieites to shame. A very odd bunch.
