Well muhammed wouldn't work as showing his face or trying to imagine how he looks is considered taboo, but i mean if you want the most bang for the buck i'd have chosen al hajjaj, sure he was evil, but he was also a pain in the ass just like the rest of the civs leaders.

And Saladin didn't fight for the arabs, he fought for all of islam, not for a particular race, but the pan-arabists made him their official champion, maybe sid mier got his info wrong.
