I may be remembering this wrong, but it seems like when I took world History 
before 1500, there was mention of Christains being accepted into Ghengis 
Kahns Army during the raids on the Turkish Empires. 

Have you ever noticed that throughout history, nations that were considered 
Superior in Every way, fell to the Inferior Culture? Rome to the Germanic 
tribes, The Greeks to Rome, Sumeria to the Babylonians ( or was it the 
Akkadians?), Mayans to the Spaniards, Brittish Colonies, to the "Founding 
Fathers", etc. Perhaps tribesmen from New Guinea will be the next great 
military force in the world.
