Saladin and Genghis Khan

Georgie M has posted the most compelling letter so far this ... week, month, year...and he/she capped it off with a piece about the Great Khan [Da Khan]who, despite his reputation, was indeed the most tolerant and inclusive of history's conquerors. Following this, if one looks at history [no need to ape the yanks with the term 'history books'] the great Saladin was extremely tolerant of non-Muslim religions, and Christians, Jews and Muslims got along fine with each other as a result of his wise leadership.
