I've watched kingdom of heaven last nite and find it disturbing that a good friend of balian father played by Liam Neeson did not stay and help to guard Jerusalem instead left for Cyprus....
Indeed, if Tiberius with his knights did stay and help, maybe the outcome will be different?
God, religions are fake!!
YOu see, about more than 70% of major religions say that if you do not believe in them, you go to hell. So technically, despite being a islam or christian devoted follower, I still get condemned to hell by the other religion.
either they are cowards or smart........
Oh well, hollywood has a reputation of deconstructing history so we will never get any straight facts but pop corn entertainment ion period movies

actually. i think islam decrees that it's alright so long as you belong to one of the people of the Book. Namely the jews, the muslims or the christians.
sry to say this.. and i know that this might hurt some..
however... to me i tink religions are just like charity organisations... with the prists being somethign like TTdurai..
if any one finds this offensive.. moderators kindly delete this message =D
I think religion is merely a tool used by some con people to sell the soul of others and use them for their self interest purpose.
Psychologically speaking, when peoples are praying, it is nothing but a self reflection within oneself seeking a comfort zone.

Don't talk cock lah!! Religions' influence still exist today.You just have to get out of your house and hop onto a bus and observe the commuters' activities and you will know for yourself what I mean.They are either praying silently or reading their holy books silently.I seen this type of things several times already and seem to get used to it already.It seems that people are getting more religious nowadays.
Tiberius did asked Balian to abandon city of Jerusalem and join him in Cyprus together with it's people.
But Balian refused to abandon the helpless people of Jerusalem against the advancing invasion of Salahaddin.
Tiberius have no reason to send his men to a certain death against the army of Salahaddin, so he made the best decision in the best interest of his men to head for Cyprus and not to stay behind and fight together with Balian.
Such decision are understandable between leaders.
