It is certainly true that he often surprised the Crusaders from the West with his apparent clemency, but not always! Every Templar or Hospitaller prisoner was beheaded, and we are told by the Islamic chroniclers how much he enjoyed it! Excuses have been offered for such conduct, but it should be admitted that the culture of the West, based on Roman-Greek and Catholic ideas, and the Muslim culture, based on their religion, are, and always will be, opposed! The movie by Ridley Scott, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, seems to value peace, but in reality, there is only deferred warfare! Certainly both cultures have natural virtues, which we see in SOLE SURVIVOR, but the religions are either TRUE orFALSE!refq16@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00905461486459221864noreply@blogger.com
