I prefer the way the Mongols dealt with Muslims.

The Mongols were a bit more complex than that.

In general, they didn’t care which religion you followed as long as you obeyed the Khagan (the great Khan) and didn’t violate any Mongol traditional law.

Islamic killing of animals (like kosher killing) violated Mongol law which was that the blood of animals should not be spilt on the ground, while Halal AND Kosher did just that.

However, except for that, there was no persecution of Muslims in the Mongol lands - there were Muslim advisors, etc.

You probably refer to Hulagu Khan who devastated Baghdad - but note that his cousin (the leader of the Golden horde in what is now southern Russia, eastern Ukraine and Tatarstan) had already converted to Islam.

In fact, Hulagu’s own grand (or great-grandson) converted to Islam and Hulagu’s dynasty - the Ilkhanates - were a Muslim Mongol (or Turco-Mongol) dynasty until they were overthrown a century later.
