2. I am Salidin, and I am glad that we made a peaceful pact to share the Holy City. I can not believe that the Crusaders were planning to kill everyone. Richard should have come to me first and we should have talked peacefully to begin with. He could have destroyed me if he had come the last time. I was very worried, but relieved when i found out he retreated. It had taken me so long for me to take over this place, and I would not want to lose it to someone who would wipeout all of my history.
When I first took over Jerusalem, I was not hard on the Christians at all. I let them live. The one thing that I did that was rude was that I took their cross and hid it. In the future, it will probably never be found. Overall, I am upset that I have to share the holy city, but I will do it becuase if not, we might get it taken away from us.
