Answer 1

Answer:

Saladin was a wise and worthy enemy. It is a shame that he was not on our side.

Explanation:

As the passage says, many Christian crusaders referred to Saladin as a heroic warrior, in ways that no other Muslim at the time would have been described. When powerful leaders are respected by people who have disagreeing belief systems, it tells us they were greatly admired in their time.
