“THE CRUSADE” against Islam without end…

by acson005

In the time of the crusade…Christians slaughtered the Muslims and Jews to take control of Jerusalem.

Christians largely from 1917 onward not only helped to set up the Jews only bloody state of Israel…it continue to this day to demonize and wage war against the Muslims and for reasons that boggles the mind.

Salah Al Din (Saladin) did not only spare the lives of the Christians when he conquered Jerusalem (1187) from the crusaders; he let them stay. He allowed the Christians to practice their faith as they please. He repaired the churches destroyed in the war with state money. Saladin likewise brought back to Jerusalem the surviving Jews that were driven away by the Crusaders. He cleared the Wailing Wall sacred to the Jews that was turned into a garbage dump by the crusaders. It is for this that Saladin was counted among the top 100 men of the second millennium and nominated to the top “MAN OF THE MILLENNIUM” of Time Magazine. He lost to Albert Einstein…

Capture of Jerusalem

Saladin had captured almost every Crusader city. Jerusalem capitulated to his forces on October 2, 1187 after a siege. Before the siege, Saladin had offered generous terms of surrender, which were rejected. After the siege had started, he was unwilling to promise terms of quarter to the Frankish inhabitants of Jerusalem until Balian of Ibelin threatened to kill every Muslim hostage, estimated at 5000, and to destroy Islam’s holy shrines of the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque if quarter was not given. Saladin consulted his council and these terms were accepted. Ransom was to be paid for each Frank in the city whether man, woman or child. Saladin allowed many to leave without having the required amount for ransom for others,[83][84] but most of the foot soldiers were sold into slavery.[85] Upon the capture of Jerusalem, Saladin summoned the Jews and permitted them to resettle in the city.[86] In particular, the residents of Ashkelon, a large Jewish settlement, responded to his request.[87]

Third Crusade

It is equally true that his generosity, his piety, devoid of fanaticism, that flower of liberality and courtesy which had been the model of our old chroniclers, won him no less popularity in Frankish Syria than in the lands of Islam.

—René Grousset (writer)[88]

Hattin and the fall of Jerusalem prompted the Third Crusade, financed in England by a special "Saladin tithe." Richard I of England led Guy's siege of Acre, conquered the city and executed 3000 Muslim prisoners including women and children.[89] Saladin retaliated by killing all Franks captured from August 28 - September 10. Bahā' ad-Dīn writes, "Whilst we were there they brought two Franks to the Sultan (Saladin) who had been made prisoners by the advance guard. He had them beheaded on the spot."[90]

The armies of Saladin engaged in combat with the army of King Richard I of England at the Battle of Arsuf on September 7, 1191, at which Saladin was defeated. All attempts made by Richard the Lionheart to re-take Jerusalem failed. However, Saladin's relationship with Richard was one of chivalrous mutual respect as well as military rivalry. When Richard became ill with fever, Saladin offered the services of his personal physician. Saladin also sent him fresh fruit with snow, to chill the drink, as treatment. At Arsuf, when Richard lost his horse, Saladin sent him two replacements. Richard suggested to Saladin that Palestine, Christian and Muslim, could be united through the marriage of his sister Joan of England, Queen of Sicily to Saladin's brother, and that Jerusalem could be their wedding gift.[citation needed] However, the two men never met face to face and communication was either written or by messenger.

As leaders of their respective factions, the two men came to an agreement in the Treaty of Ramla in 1192, whereby Jerusalem would remain in Muslim hands but would be open to Christian pilgrimages. The treaty reduced the Latin Kingdom to a strip along the coast from Tyre to Jaffa. This treaty was supposed to last three years.
