Genghis Khan (~1170-1227) after sacking Bukhara in Samarkand though not a Muslim delivered his famous 'Punishment of God' speech at the mosque's mimbar:
'O people, know that you have committed great sins and that the great ones among you have committed these sins! If you ask me what proof I have for these words, I say it is because I am the punishment of God. If you have not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.'
Batu, Genghis's grandson partnered with Subedei, a Mongol general led the conquests of Russia (1237-40) and Eastern Europe (1241).
Kublai Khan, another of Genghis's grandson subjugated the whole of China by 1279. His dynasty lasted until 1368.
