  • 📜 History of Saladin & the 3rd Crusade: Siege of Jerusalem - A king does not kill kings. After the battle at Hattin, Saladin had dealt a grievous blow to the Crusader states. Important figures were captured, and the majority of Guy's forces had been decimated at the Horns of Hattin. But there was another place that was vital for Saladin to take to keep his uneasy alliance strong. Jerusalem, a city of holy sites for the Abrahamic faiths, had been occupied for 80 years. Now it was time to take it back.

      4. Do not slaughter a sheep or a cow or a camel, except for food.
      5. If one fights his brother, [he must] avoid striking the face, for God created him in the image of Adam.
      6. Do not kill the monks in monasteries, and do not kill those sitting in places of worship.
      7. Do not destroy the villages and towns, do not spoil the cultivated fields and gardens, and do not slaughter the cattle. )
      8. Do not wish for an encounter with the enemy; pray to God to grant you security; but when you [are forced to] encounter them, exercise patience
      9. No one may punish with fire except the Lord of Fire.
      10. Accustom yourselves to do good if people do good, and to not do wrong even if they commit evil. Too bad today's pathetic leaders don't follow them :(

    Side note: Salidin went on to be respected in later centuries such to a degree that Dante Alegheri when writing the Devine Comedy placed Saladin only in the Limbo, the Woods of the Virtuous Pagans, in the company of the Greek Philosophic Trio. While still in Hell, this circle is a place of respect by comparison.

    There're multiple interpretations on why Saladin gave Raynald option between convert to Islam or die, 3 I can find:
    - Saladin knew Raynald would refuse anyway so the only thing he want was Raynald's death.
    - Saladin try to be compassionate by offering convertion to Islam since that would clean Raynald's soul from every sins he committed previously, if he refuse than the man was too dangerous to live.
    - Saladin want to kill Raynald purely for political reason, strengthened himself and weaken both domestic and foreign oppositions.

    • @resentfuldragon
      @resentfuldragon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      reynald was a murderer who killed many muslims, he was not killed for just politics.
      As for the question of conversion, its an Islamic custom to allow one last chance to foes, many great foes in Islamic history became some of its greatist leaders.
      Umar was one of the most dangerous enemies of the muslims before converting, he even drew a sword intending to kill the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), umar later led the muslims and was the one to take jerusalem for the muslims personally without bloodshed.
      Khalid ibn waleed is one of the greatest generals in the world, he never lost a battle including the ones he led against the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his army nearly killed the Prophet (SAW) in one battle. Khalid later went on to be known as the "sword of ALLAH (SWT)" and he defeated superior roman and persian forces multiple times.
      in essence, reynald sucked but everybody deserves a chance to repent to their maker.

    In the Dante's Inferno movie, Dante meets Saladin in Limbo and Saladin, not speaking, just stares at Dante, which gives Dante flashbacks of all the cruelty he unleashed as a Crusader under the delusion that, since a priest promised all of his future sins were absolved by joining the crusade, he could basically do whatever he wanted. Saladin's judgmental eyes freaked Dante out so much that he decided to move on to the second circle rather than stay in the relatively safe Limbo.

    The amount of honour and mercy Saladin showed is well beyond that of a modern-day leader, let alone a leader in medieval times.

    I LOVE how accurate you are to the facts of history and how you show the background of each event. I am a Syrian seeker of Freedom and Asylum. And Salah El-Deen is a highly regarded figure of our history. He was tough on occupation forces and very gentle with civilians ... And I am very happy that you showed that clearly in your videos. All respect! Also, I am an interpreter/translator if you are interested in collaboration.

    I'm surprised you guys didn't mention Orlando Bloom, a blacksmith from nowhere, singlehandedly defended Jerusalem. I suggested researching more before you post a video.

    I really love your videos and series. I suggest adding to your content something less orthodox, such as a series about Casanova. It fits well with your views of history. It also may be one of your most popular series, even though no one asked for it.
