	Hulagu Khan Summary
		In 1262-1263 Hulagu was involved in hostilities in the Caucasus area with his cousin Berke, the ruler of the Golden Horde and the ally of his enemies, the Mamluk rulers of Egypt.
		Hulagu's troops were at first victorious, crossing the Terek into Berke's territory, but were then driven back with heavy losses; many were drowned in the river when the ice gave way under their horses' hooves.
		Hulagu broke the power of the Assassin sect (1256), executed the last of the Abbasid caliphs and destroyed Baghdad (1258), then, at the hands of the Mamluks in Nazareth, became the first Mongol leader to suffer a serious defeat (1260).

		Hulagu was a pagan, but he and his court was very favorable to the Christians.
		Hulagu demanded the complete surrender of the city, which the Caliph could not do, though everyone understood the alternative was utter destruction.
		Hulagu himself had to go north, for his brother in the Golden Horde was inclining toward Islam and was horrified by Hulagu's treatment of the faithful.

		Hulagu seems never to have become a Christian himself, but members of the faith in the middle east saw him as their champion.
		Hulagu’s brother Mongke Khan told him to subdue the people he encountered as he continued all the way to Egypt, being kind to those who submitted and killing or enslaving the rest.
		To be safe, Hulagu had the caliph wrapped in a carpet and then trodden to death by horses.

	Part 35: When an American Hulagu invades Mesopotamia
		Still, Bush and Hulagu differ in one prominent aspect: Hulagu was an awesome warrior and a fighter who invaded while riding and leading his hordes; Bush is a civilian who thinks that he is a warrior because the constitution designates him the commander-in-chief.
		Since Hulagu’s strong willed mother (Sorghaghtan Beki) was Christian, it is permissible to speculate that she was the inspiration (maybe out of hate or rivalry) behind the invasion of Abbasid territory.
		Hulagu killed the caliph by wrapping him in a rug and having him either "beaten to a pulp" or trampled by horses.

		Hulagu said to the trembling Caliph “The possessions you have on the face of the earth are apparent,” and added, “Tell my servants what and where your buried treasures are.” The caliph confessed that there was a pool full of gold in the middle of the palace.
		Hulagu’s letters (rather ultimatums) to the Governor of Damascus and earlier to the Khalifah (caliph) of Islam were quite reminiscent of the letters the Muslim prophet Mohammed-ibn-Abadallah sent to the Persian and Byzantine Emperors to Embrace Islam and be safe, or face a Muslim Invasion.

	The Mongol Warlords
		Hulagu destroyed the city with a grizzly ferocity which resulted in between 250,000 and 800,000 deaths, including that of the Caliph himself who was reportedly sewn up in a rug and trampled to death by horses.
		Without their leader the remaining Mongols advanced no further, to the disappointment of the Crusader Kingdoms, who had invented a character called Prester John, who was said to be a Christian King in ultimate control of the Mongols, who were thus seen to be potentially natural allies of Pope and Crusaders.
		Hulagu died aged 48 in 1265, and was buried in the Kaboudi Island in Lake Urmia in present day Iran.

		Hulagu marched with what was probably the largest army ever fielded by the Mongols.
		Hulagu demanded surrender; the caliph refused, warning the Mongols that they faced the wrath of Allah if they attacked the caliph.
		Prior to laying siege to Baghdad, Hulagu easily destroyed the Lurs, and his reputation so frightened the Assassins (also known as the Hashshashin) that they surrendered their impregnable fortress of Alamut to him without a fight in 1256.

	The Alleged Role of Nasir al Din al Tusi in the Fall of Baghdad, Rasul Jafariyan
		[61] Hulagu Khan, however, evidenced a measure of caution when he ordered that "the caliph be wrapped up in a cloth and his blessed body be kicked until he died." [62] Dr. Ha'iri has commented on the foregoing report.
		Among the most important tasks he took up were those which pertained to libraries, revival of Islamic sciences, and training of scholars, in which he accomplished his purpose to an extent unexpected by the side of the destruction brought about by the Mongols and amazing for the period of their supremacy.
		Hulagu Khan once sent Shaykh Sharif Tabrazi to spy among Mongol soldiers of Buqa'i, who was hostile to him.

		History books note that Khallani Square in central Baghdad was so named because Hulagu ordered his men to dump the bodies of tens of thousands in the area, which was then outside the city walls, and leave them to rot.

		OH, yeah what a good idea...you know, if that floppy was invented at that time, it would save the country, the scientists, and the universities, it would really show to the world how intelligent and smart Baghdadis, and Iraqis are, and it would confirm the Iraqi identity amongst the others...
