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.
Heh, that could be pretty funny. Can just imagine the headlines... "Games developer goes into hiding after showing The Prophet in game".

I suspect it's all kind of irrelevant. Civ games haven't ever been realistic. Oh look it's a democracy but I'm still basically the dictator.
