Is this...Mongolian propaganda? Because the Kahns definitely did a whole lot of subjugating, raping and murdering. Not sure that really fits the "coexist" meme...

The meme format doesn't really work, but the joke they're trying to make is that even though they did all these terrible things, it was never because of religion. In fact, they just didn't give a fuck in what you believed in. Genghis even allowed religious figures to be exempt from taxation.
And let's be honest: the Mongolians were probably not worse than any other invader. War, destruction, looting and raping is kind of par for the course for most civilizations in history.
Honestly from the limited knowledge I have, Mongolians seemed to be the one of the chillest of invaders. They gave you a clear choice, let us rule you or die. And once they ruled you they allowed many freedoms that crusaders and colonizers didn't. Their tactics were brutal and I think that's why people see them as so evil.

Literal mountains of skulls...
I will take the third option
Modern Mongolia, perhaps. The Golden Horde of Genghis Khan was not so tolerant!
Yes, they were. Genghis' Mongols didn't generally force religious change in the people who they subjugated.
The way I hear it told, Genghis Khan liked all types of women. 😉
Genghis Khan: Are you good at killing and terrorizing my enemies? Yes? Ok, see those fuckers over there? Conquer them. I don't care how. Burn it all down. Re-route an entire river. I just want them paying tribute.
China doesn't want friends. That's why they built a wall to keep those friendly Mongols out.
So, that's a honey badger in a capy disguise?
