The real story of the noble Saladin Al Ayoubi. The movie was produced in the 60's. This clip is not meant to offend any religion. It's just a recitation of a true incident that happened in the medieval ages & a dedication to a great person who defended his beliefs with honor & respect & even his enemies had bowed to his courage & nobility. It's Saladin Al Ayoubi who no one can deny his honorable reputation. Despite his fierce struggle against the Christian incursion, Saladin achieved a great reputation in Europe as a chivalrous knight. When German Kaiser Wilhelm the Second went to Syria he laid a wreath at the tomb of Saladin in Damascus with the inscription: "A knight without fear or blame who often had to teach his opponents the right way to practice chivalry". Chivalry is a term related to the medieval institution of knighthood. It is usually associated with ideals of knightly virtues, honor and courtly love. The word comes from the French word chevalier, indicating one who rides a horse, though the term has come to signify more than this.

This couldn't be more wrong. The crusades were a response against 400 years of Islamic aggression. Read your history.

This is an Egyptian production from the 60's but look how cool it is.....By the way , the man in 3:14.....(In the real war) his name was "Al-Awaam" and he was christian, he fought with saladin and he was one of saladin's best friends......This movie is the second best movie in the history of the Egyptian film making industry after " The Days Of Al-Sadat " . If you have not seen these two movies yet , you have missed alot .

@MinistryOfPhreakz I dunno the entire (hi)story to pass judgment on psychology and ultimate motives so supposing its just like you described it with no other reasons involved then it was a matter of honour not a sign of mercy.If u say Rich respected him then they had mutual respect like adversaries nothing uncommon

You never read the old testament. David, Isaiah and Zechariah are all talking about Jesus with precision, that means you reject the whole Bible. And if you are muslim, Muhammad also said the Bible was true.
And if you are atheist, the Bible also talk about you :P
