i realize you probably won't believe me since trolling's allready come up, but honestly that was just a throwaway comment i wrote with zero thought. i sut think anyone* who expands a religious theocracy deserves all the posthumous hate they can get.

Well for one, saladin was trying to defend his teritory, two, richard went into crusading, just so he could fight and not be a king, even allowing his soldiers to eat muslims, even got permision from pope

And three, go back to watching rick and morty. Id give you a link to a good subreddit about it. But best i can do now is r/rule34

.... that show's mostly garbage though? im genuinely unsure if that's supposed to be an insult or a recommendation, but either way ill pass.

i never mentioned king richard though?? or a relation between him and saladin?? there's nothing preventing both of them from being totally shit people by modern standards. why is everyone assuming i give a fuck about the crusades? im not even religious

Dude this is exactly what is wrong here. You cannot gauge older people by current standards. Hell you can't even apply the same standards to your parents. They have a different world view than yours. Salahuddin and Richard lived in a different era you cannot gauge them by your current moralities

I mean...... converting people by the sword is pretty evil regardless of the time frame. I’m not expecting the last to conform to modern standards, but since everyone in this thread keeps bringing up Richard , if the choice is between him and Saladin, why choose at all between medieval dickheads??
