What is Jerusalem? What is Jerusalem
?
Your holy places lie over the Jewish temper that the Romans pulled down.
The Muslim places of worship lie over yours
.
Which is more holy
?
The Wall?
Wailing Wall? (Judaism holy site)
The Mosque?
Mosque? (Muslim Holy Land)
The Sepulcher?
Holy Sepulchre? (Christian Holy Land)
Who has claim?
Who has the right?
No one has claim! No one has the
right!
All have claim!
Everyone has the right!


The most wonderful lines before the decisive battle of Jerusalem's defense in the movie "Kingdom of Heaven". "The Crusades" has been launched 8 times in 200 years. The magnificent history cannot be described in a single movie. The estrangement and conflict between religions have always continued, just like the ending subtitle of the film "Nearly a thousand years have passed, the peace of the Kingdom of Heaven has always been erratic" Because of religion? Or maybe not...

When the city of Jerusalem was broken at the end of the movie, the dialogue between the male protagonist and Saladin believes that everyone who has seen it will be deeply impressed:
What is Jerusalem worth? What is Jerusalem worth
?
Nothing. ...Everything!
worthless. ... of great value!

  • English Sergeant: [walking along the waterfront at Messina] When we took the Holy Land, we took the Saracen trading ports. The Italian ships carry silks and spices... and pilgrims, if they have money. And Italy becomes rich, as the Savior intended.

    Balian of Ibelin: [Balian sees a group of men praying on the beach] Who are those men?

    English Sergeant: Muslims. Saracens.

    Balian of Ibelin: And they are allowed their prayers?

    English Sergeant: If they pay the tax. "Subhana Rabbi'l Adhim."

    Balian of Ibelin: Sounds like our prayers.
