The Saladin Paradigm: Finding the ‘Good’ in Islamic Terrorists
American Thinker.com ^ | September 30, 2021 | Raymond Ibrahim

A “moderate” Muslim cleric and counter-terrorism advisor to the U.K. government was recently caught on film referring to Israel as a “terrorist state” and praising “martyrs”—jihadist code for suicide bombers.

During his speech, Imam Irfan Chishti told the crowd that “if they wanted to become ‘mujahideen,’ holy warriors, then they should emulate the Muslim general Saladin, who expelled the Crusaders from Palestine in 1187.” He then lamented, “Where is the modern-day Saladin?”

The choice of Saladin is interesting in that he is in many ways emblematic of Palestinian terrorism: widely seen, especially in the West, as a freedom fighter and liberator, the sultan was in fact a terrorist of the ISIS variety.

Consider some brief facts about this historical figure that is otherwise extolled both in the Muslim and Western worlds. According to his biographer, Baha’ al-Din, Saladin loved hearing Koran recitals, prayed punctually, and “hated philosophers, heretics, and materialists and all opponents of the sharia” (a fitting description of all those Western apologists who currently praise him).

After defeating the crusaders at the battle of Hattin in 1187, rather than ransoming or enslaving them, as was common then, Saladin had the warrior-monks of the military orders of the Temple and Hospital butchered before him in a scene that has long informed ISIS’s propagandistic execution videos.* He then had the True Cross, Christendom’s most precious relic, seized and paraded upside down in dirt and dung to Muslim jeers and spits.

Dalal alamuddin was a typical Muslim warrior. Namely a debased monster in the service of Satan, ie in the service of Al illah

They become ‘good’ when they’re turned into compost. Until then they’re only organic waste, breathing or not.

They only go back to the Crusades. They conquered these lands by the sword. SO who has the moral high ground?

Note that Saladin was a Kurd.

Simple Rules of Engagement with Muslims -

If Infidels are present, Sunni with unite with Shi’a sects to enslave (physical, sex, monetary), convert, and annihilate all Infidels.

If no Infidels present, Sunni will turn against Shi’a until one or the other is enslaved or annihilated.

The rising population of Muslims over 1200 years shows the effectiveness of their tactics.

The war isn’t over, by a long shot ...

What the author apparently is ignorant of is that Saladin wasn't an Arab. He was a Kurd. And the vast majority of Muhammadan terrorists are Arabs. And Muhammadanism is nowhere more volatile than when mixed with the ancient Arab traditions (chief among them, Dam Butlab Dam).
