no because we didn't have the concept of secularism those days and neither leaders like antonia, sleepless manmohan, maulana laloo, maula mulayam, karats etc.

Of Turkic/Mongol origin, Timur was steeped in Persian culture.[7] He aspired to restore the Mongol Empire, yet his heaviest blow was against the Mongol Golden Horde, which never recovered from his campaign against Tokhtamysh.
He thought of himself as a ghazi, but his biggest wars were against Muslim states.
T%u012Bm%u016Br bin Taraghay Barlas (Chagatai Turkic: %u062A%u06CC%u0645%u0648%u0631 - T%u0113m%u014Dr, "iron") (1336 %u2013 February 1405), known in the West as Tamerlane, was a 14th century warlord of Turco-Mongol descent,[1][2][3][4] conqueror of much of western and central Asia, and founder of the Timurid Empire and Timurid dynasty (1370%u20131405) in Central Asia, which survived in some form until 1857.

All rulers of pre modern India fought among themselves. They raided, invaded territories of other and in pre modern ages might was right.
There was scant regard for the soverignity of a country. The arab chroniclers say of the Byzantinians as: If you donot fight them, They fight you!
This is practically true of all rulers. Ashokas conversion to Buddhism was based on a war that he fought which killed millions of people. It is chronicled that a river of blood flowed and river waters turned red!
So do we start judging a religion which represents a world civilisation by acts of few?

Timurs legacy is a mixed one; while Central Asia blossomed under his reign, other places such as Baghdad, Damascus, Delhi and other Arab, Persian, Indian and Turkic cities were sacked and destroyed, and millions of people were slaughtered. Thus, while Timur still retains a legacy in Central Asia, he is vilified by many in Arab, Persian and Indian societies. At the same time, many Western Asians still do name their children after him, while Persian literature calls him Teymour, Conqueror of the World

Infact Timur Fought Mostly Muslims and Muslims were the worst victims of his atrocities.
And we know all these stuff from his memoriors and not from any other source. But it is also known by historians of pre modern ages all agree to the fact that the facts mentioned in those memoriors were grossly exagerrated to present the kings of those times as some great Destroyer and all Powerfull man on earth whom noone could ever dare to confront!

Before the end of 1399 Timur started a war with Bayezid I, sultan of the Ottoman Empire, and the Mamluk sultan of Egypt. Bayezid began annexing the territory of Turkmen and Muslim rulers in Anatolia. As Timur claimed sovereignty over the Turkmen rulers, they took refuge behind him. Timur invaded Syria, sacked Aleppo, and captured Damascus after defeating the Mamluk army. The city's inhabitants were massacred, except for the artisans who were deported to Samarkand. This led to Timurs being publicly declared an enemy of Islam.
