Richard the Lionheart and Saladin

Saladin Op-Ed
Dear Editor,
As the current leader and person in control of Jerusalem, I would be extremely irresponsible and unjustified to attack and take Jerusalem. I have been in control for a long time. I have power and control. I dare you to even try. I took out the Franks and plan to stay in control. Jerusalem is just as important to me and my people as it it to you and yours.
I, Saladin, believe that Jerusalem should stay in the Muslim control. Maybe we could come to a understanding agreement. You have to understand how much I care for the city and would put my life on the line to defend it. You can try to attack, but my men will be waiting to take you down. If you go on this crusade you are seriously risking you life.
Sincerely,
Saladin
