Overview The Mongolian people were a vastly nomadic breed which lived in various places throughout northern Asia. Their history changed greatly with the rule of Genghis Khan, who managed to unite many of the Mongolian tribes. Under Genghis Khan’s rule, Mongol people were strongly against Islam and Islamic practices. The Mongols then set out to conquer territory throughout Asia by taking any land they desired, showing particular hostility towards Islamic people. The ruthless leadership of Genghis Khan, and his sons Batu and Juchi, led to many campaigns, terror, and the conquering of many areas and peoples. This lead to the Mongol empire becoming the largest land empire in history. This hostility towards Islam continued until a shift occurred in the 13th century as Berke became leader of the Mongols.
