BTW Dad, Saladin was also considered a noble enemy by Richard the Lionheart. History indicates they shared a mutual respect to the point of Saladin offering Richard one of his finest horses when he heard his had died. Saladin also offered up the use of his personal physician when Richard fell ill. Times have certainly changed, I guess.
