He was a warlord but spiritually conscious in some way. However it's kind of difficult to reconcile 21st century attitudes with medieval Mongolian ones. He did kill people but at the same time World War 2 for example needed to be fought. These are some of the reasons I want opinions on what people think of the fact he seems to be held to a high regard in this text.
In my experience a person identifying as spiritual does not at all mean they have a perfect moral code.
It's just a part of our history. Powerful people back then were not angelic when compared to powerful people today.
Actually, there's little or no difference. The ones today just do a lot better at hiding their STSness and don't actually run around with an army chopping off peoples heads...for the most part.
