The Crusaders laid waste to much of Palestine, burned all the Arab books on religion, science, and literature that they could find and murdered or exiled people who wouldn’t renounce their religion and convert to Christianity.
Salidin united a lot of Arab tribes and drove the Crusaders out. Then, surprisingly, he founded the Ayyubid Empire which was characterized by tolerance of all religions and nationalities. It was a golden age of peace, prosperity, science, literature, fine art, and free trade until overthrown by the Mamluks after 79 years.

I have a dream:
- That the nations of the world unite in the fight against climate change.
- That war becomes obsolete.
- That we get a safe, nearly inexhaustible, Thorium based source of energy from the nuclear arsenal. We could use a small amount of the energy to blast the radioactive waste into space.
