I think can weaken these 2 "misleading" claims with this fact.

Although the Mongols are aggressive (and also, "the exception" to almost any empire ), actually let people practice whatever religion they want when the dust settles (after taking over a village), whether it's Christianity, Islam, or any other religion. In other words, they were tolerant.

I got this from John Green from one of his Crash Course videos (where I got "the exception" part from ).
