RE: TODAY in HISTORY (20 September): Saladin started the siege of Jerusalem in 1187
Interesting bit of history. I didn't know Saladin was Kurdish. How was the movie different from actual events? The movie called, "Kingdom of Heaven"...
I need to watch the movie again to give you the facts, but if I remember correctly in the Battle of Hattin, he was portrayed as a hero while in real life, he was one of the first to flee the battlefield when things went wrong.
