Richard Lion heart finally learned from the morals and bravery of Saladin

Reader comment on item: [West Africa:] New Route to the West
in response to reader comment: What can be done?

Submitted by Harrak (Canada), Jun 1, 2006 at 19:20

Although Saladin fought the crusaders and regained Jerusalem, he did not slay women and kids like the cannibal crusaders did. For this reason, the Kurdish Muslim hero Saladin gained respect even from his enemies. At one point, Richard the Lion heart offered him his sister provided he give Jerusalem as dowry. The point here is that there is a lot to learn from Muslims and from the Shintu and Budhists a lot. To see Richard being fair in academia and morality is something to be saluted!! congrats..
