    I'm not a muslim nor do I come from Arabic descent but THANK YOU for covering the story of Saladin. Truly one of the most respectable leaders and he was a man of great honour. To some, he is a "mediocre" military leader, for his several loses; But do take note that without him - as he has set a foothold for other islamic groups (mainly Baybars) to continue the work; They would have been close to nothing. Saladin was without a doubt, one of the greatest military figures in the Islamic History.
    P.s. I'm open for any objections on my take on Saladin's significance on the Islamic Power in the Middle East. I'm also just fascinated of this man's story.
    Edit: removed "possibly one of the greatest", for he IS one of the greatest.

      The best part about a person like Saladin is that he can be respected by all. You may not share his beliefs, but his honour and respect for himself and others can be universally shared.
      Humble in failure, gracious in victory.

      The narrator also said that Saladin was "Arabic culturally,linguistically,etc.", which are lies spread by Arab nationalists to appropriate this piece of Kurdish history. If anything, Saladin made sure to keep the number of Arabs in his army low because he did not trust them.

    I hate it when people don't see him as an occupier just as Romans, French, Arabs were into Canaan.
    He was a Kurd ! Canaan wasn't his native land, so, obviously, he annexed it.
    But the white guilt of racism of White People never lets them be honest with such things.
    So, it's always the Arab Conquest of Levant or Egypt or Maghreb or Indian Subcontinent but never an "occupation" despite, the locals fighting back for their Independence.
    Shame !!
