      The Moguls were the decendents of the Mongols (later on intermarried with Turkic peoples) who conquered Persia. They later abandonned their originally culture and took up the Persian culture (a case of the conquered conquering the conqueror by overwhelminng them with local taste).

      Islam expanded into South Asia under the Moguls.

        But now that Turkey might join the EU and Europe is full of them, profiting of our counterproductive socialist system (opressing the working class), I think they might one day even capture/spoil Europe too if we don't wake up. (Just like they did to Bosnia, Albania, Greece [all, ancient, Greeks are dead] etc.)
        No, the Byzantines kept the Turks out of Europe. The Western Europeans, by their actions, let the Turks in.

          And the Byzantines weren't Europeans? Plus, have you forgotten about the role of the ancient Germans in stopping the mongols?!!

            You mean the Goths? They were helpful in stopping the Huns, not the Mongols. The last time the Germans, aka Teutonic Knights, met the Mongols, they were stomped.

            The present day Turkish people are actually Anatolloyan Greeks converted to Islam. The actual Turkic population that conquered the area was swamped by the local population (ie inter-marriages).
