Most of the "bad things" about Saladin reflect on the fact that, to his enemies, he was not a Christian and was a better person and leader than the Christian rulers he was fighting. It should be remembered that Saladin did not kill the innocent Christian inhabitants of cities he captured, The Crusaders however killed all Muslims, leaving the streets knee deep in blood
- He was a self made man, not a hereditary ruler
- He united the Muslims of Syria
- He defeated the Christians at a great battle near the lake of Galilee and conquered the Christian cities of Syria and Jerusalem.
- He essential defeated the three greatest rulers of Europe - King Philip Augustus of France, King Richard I of England, and the German emperor, Frederick Barbarossa in the second crusade.
- During the Third Crusade when King Richard the Lionheart was sick with a fever, Saladin supplied him with delicacies, sent him a gift of the choicest fruits of the land.
- When Richard's horse had been killed in battle, Saladin sent a fine Arabian steed as a present for his rival.
- He forced Richard to sign a truce when Richard could not regain Jerusalem
- The terms of Saladin's truce were honorable and generous. As an example Christians were permitted to visit Jerusalem without paying tribute, that they should have free access to the holy places, and remain in undisturbed possession of the coast from Jaffa to Tyre.
