Franks ? Saracens? ....... opinions
The Crusaders used the word 'Saracens' to describe all the Muslims in the holy land. Muslims used the word 'Franks' to describe all the crusaders. The crusaders were known as a ' holy war' because each side was fighting for what they believed their god wanted.
The Franks must never rule our holy land we must fight all chritians invaders who don't belive that allah is the one true god. these Franks do not follow the words of Muhammad, the greatest prophet of them all.

Jesus Christ is the son of the one true god. The Saracens do not believe this and they murdered Christians who go to Jerusalem as pilgrims. I will fight Saracens because they are not fit to rule the holy city of Jerusalem.

Said by Christians or Muslims
If they thought that a Christian had eaten gold or silver to hide it they forced them to vomit or tear open their stomachs with a blade to reveal the secret.

A man was accused of crime, so they dropped him in the water. Their idea was that if he was guilty he would float and if he was innocent he would sink. This man did his best to sink but he could not do it. He was found guilty and they pierced his eyes with red hot metal- may Allah's curse be upon them.

Saladin though of nothing but the holy war. He did not spend a single gold coin on anything else. He mad sure that his men were fed and cared for. He never said bad things about people.
|
Saladin devoted much of his time to drinking and gambling. He took over countries by force and trickery. This greedy tyrant then took the Holy land.
|
The Franks only study war, so have large bodies but small minds. I want my son to study science, literature, algebra, philosophy, music, history and medicine. But he will not do this in Europe.

Count Robert was captured near Damascus. his head was cut off and this body was thrown to the gods, His scull was used as a drinking cup and was covered in jewels.

These people study no science and are more like animals than human beings. Those who live in England are far away from the sun that they have become stupid.
