Heh well I don't really mind where the religion comes from itself, as long as it is tolerant. Nestorians, Sufi Muslims, Shamanists, we all lived as one. Churches, Mosques, Shrines, all built, it is just how was on the steppes and many other ancient cultures, and in my opinion, which many agree, how it should be.
Heres something you might like :
In multicultural pioneering history of Australia we also do have many Mongolian/Turanian people to honour; - the cameleers, who in the 1800's were invited to come from Afghanistan and Pakistan to run camel-trains that carried supplies in the outback.
Some descendants claim their ancestry back to Chingghis Khaan or the Turk nomads and the culture is still upheld by a few communities.
Especially in the desert areas cameleers history is respected and celebrated to this day as it is still vividly remembered.
These Cameleers who came:
... were adventurous, young, unmarried men, mainly from nomad background
... were from various backgrounds and countries near Afghanistan, but they were all called "Afghans".
... Europeans became dependent on, they were very reliable
... built Ghantowns, and different ethnic groups became to regard them as friends and neighbours, close-knit communities formed, (no religious intolerance, because this was seen as something everybody personally needs to decide for themselves)
... employed Aboriginal men and women, thus exchange of skills, knowledge and goods developed, resulting in enduring partnerships and several marriages. (Cameleers didn't like the harsh treatment of indigenous peoples by the by the "fringi" (white Australians), this kind of disrespect to natives the cameleers could not accept)
... lived to great old ages over 90, even though their work was very hard.
Later when motorised transport took over the camel-trains, cameleers were asked to shoot their camels. This they could not do, but instead let them go free. Hence we now have a million wild camels in the desert.

They pretty much represent my own morality in this subject
Oh, and SHOOT my camels because we no longer have need of them? No way! Another one of my morals is never forsake nature in that way.
