There were several things about the Mongol Empire that were quite unique, in my opinion their most surprising and advanced characteristic is that they were tolerant and actually supported outside religions. This is something that is almost never heard of in other empires of that time or any time for that matter. What is just as surprising is that many of the religions that were in the Mongol Empire hated each other and yet they fought with each other to expand the reach of the empire. For instance there were many times when Buddhists, Muslims, and Christians were fighting along side each other despite their many differences. I for one consider this to be one of the most outstanding things that the Mongol Empire ever did. This was one of the ways that the Mongol people kept their captured lands in peace, the Mongols did not prohibit any religion and in fact they usually promoted it among the people.

the mongols only came in contact with a weak russia to represent christians. they conquered Baghdad when muslims would'nt trade with them and killed the envoys they had sent. Ghengis Khan did not like these muslims as he had wanted nothing but peace and trade with them. As punishment for the Sultans greed they poured liquid silver into his ears and mouth in the public square. Even with this the mongols did not care about religion too much, aften Ghengis's death the empire split and i think one of the Empires became muslim (the one based in Samarkand) but they fought each other and allowed themselves to be taken over by outside forces.

"All who surrender will be spared; whoever does not surrender but opposed with struggle and dissension, shall be annihilated."
-CHINGIS KHAN, during the war with the Khwarezmian empire. Usually, Genghis kept his word, and those who did surrender were indeed spared. It is this policy that separates Genghis from other leaders who did pointlessly kill people.
"Be of one mind and one faith, that you may conquer your enemis and lead long and happy lives."
-CHINGIS KHAN
"I will rule them by fixed laws [so] that rest and happiness shall prevail in the world."
-CHINGIS KHAN, after being named khan
