They get plenty of credit for it. It is part of why so many people defend the Turks. Forget about all the slavery and murder though. The Turks were tolerant so they were teh good guys!

When you're conquering and settling foreign lands being "tolerant" is a survival mechanism.

To the extent that the turks even were "inclusive and tolerant" it was for the sake of stability because they were too weak to completely subjugate the native inhabitants.

You could as a conqueror either enslave and kill everyone or just make them your subjects and enslave foreigners.
