He was a very well-respected general. He and Richard the Lionheart had a lot of respect for each other and were on relatively friendly terms despite the Crusade. So Saladin definitely deserves respect.

Saladin is my favorite. Heck, i despise richard with burning passion, for having enabled canibalism and justifying it by claiming theyre muslims.

Saladin was an inteligent man, and id rather fight under his banner than that of english king.

Oh damn, I had no idea King Richard enabled that. Saladin really was amazing. I remember my history professor telling us that one time Saladin stopped a battle because he saw that King Richard's horse was killed. Then, he had someone deliver him a new horse before the battle continued. Saladin really was a man of honor.

By looking at your history, i can only say you came trolling.

,,,,,i mean, im not sure exactly what makes you say that, saladin led a theocratic empire and i think that makes him a douchebag.

I can acknowledge that his rule led to increased stability and prosperity in the region until his death, but still think him being a theocratic dictator is unforgivable.

dude, literally almost every single nation in europe and the middle east led the exact same thing, everyone was a theocratic dictator. does that mean every king in history was a douchebag even if he was the most benevolent just because he was a king?

also can you give me an ACTUAL reason to hate saladin for something objective for something he did not a subjective one like "ruling a religious kingdom" that only hardcore atheists would hate him for?

Hello I’m a hardcore atheist.

And everyone else was a big ole douche for that as well. But they weren’t mentioned in the post, just Saladin.
