It is said that during the Crusades Salidin's men started out as perfect gentlemen, even in battle. That changed as the Crusades went on. It's never changed since, apparently.
I'm in the middle of doing some studying up on the crusades in my spare time and it is actually quite fascinating. It was funny how close Europe came prior to the first crusade to being over run. The battle of tours was pivotal in western civilization and the conspiracy theorist in me can draw a parallel as to why September 11 was picked as the date of the terror attacks as apparently it wasn't a good day for the invaders of Malta and the lifting of the siege of Vienna by the poles. It's also a possible reason why Eastern Europe is putting up fences to deal with the refugees.
