@@iwil3293 You mean not looked at favorably by the academic Christophobe types. Who would find every last reason to defend a Jihad while slandering any Crusade, that merely responded to the threat of it. The Crusaders were made up of different personas and they spanned 300 years. You cant lump them all into the same boat. Most Crusaders had nothing to do with the Sack of Constantinople

I am muslim, and have so much respect for Baldwin. His fights again Salahdin are battles of legend. Their resolve, honor, everything, is something peolle today could not hope to measure up to.

Today's Jews are nothing like Baldwin. They are shady, every bit as ruthless and treacherous as the terrorists they are fighting. There's a reason why Hamas and Palestine and most of the Middle East hates Israel the way they do. The Jews are not these innocent people unfairly being attacked by Hamas and Palestine. Palestine is an open air prison. They can't leave. The Jews won't let them. They shut off electricity to Palestine, block roads. The only way East to the Middle East is through Israel they can't go to the Middle East there are only other option is to go through Egypt. The Jews are greedy n corrupt as hell. There's a reason why just about every civilization has had a group of people that wanted to kill the Jews throughout all of history there has been a group that wanted the Jews gone think about that. The Muslims, The Christians, The Romans. The nazi were far from the first civilization in history that wanted to get rid of Jews. Think about that. The Jews bring this on themselves.

Kingdom of Heaven did so much justice to display both sides of this story. Hollywood don't make movies like that anymore. Baldwin and Salahdin were epic legends... very few historical figureheads of Medieval times gained such respectable words about them. We don't even have modern versions of them... that is how awesome they were. If only modern Christiandom and Islam-dom would learn from these men and pay honor and respect for one another. Such inspiring individuals.

So what I'm hearing in some of this story is that once Baldwin defeated Saladin they struck a truce for two years. Then Saladin breaks the truce and starts striking at farmers and farmland. Then after striking another truce someone who wasn't a bipartisan in it attacks some of his troops and pilgrims. So Saladin breaks the truce and attacks all Christian states. Why didn't Saladin just approach Baldwin and inform him of the travesty? We know that Baldwin was a meticulous man and would have at least brought some justice for attacking pilgrims, but we had already seen that Saladin didn't care for honor to a certain extent.
