[edit] Name

His name literally means "Crusader" in Arabic, but some extreme Islamists are fond of quoting from him nevertheless... AnonMoos 08:28, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

His name does not mean "crusader" and has nothing to do with crusaders. It was given to his family centuries before crusades even happened. A true definition of the name and origins of it can be found here Saleeby Saliba Association of Families . Any islamists quoting him are probably aware of his families history and how they fought against the crusaders. 125.237.247.61 10:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
