Was Saladin Agnostic? Why was the tag seljuk-turks added? As far as I know Saladin was Kurd not Turk. |

Were there bows employed by tribes living in the desert, and if so, what were they made of? @DVK - I used to live in Saudi Arabia. And there are definitely plenty of trees in the less arid areas. The trees are smaller than the ones you would find in temperate climate forests (and I know very little about the process of actually making bows) but I would imagine that there would be enough. The second Caliph Umar is quoted saying "Teach your children horse riding, archery and swimming" that tells me that there were difinitely enough bows to go around. |

But you also have to remember that desserts aren't completely devoid of trees. There are always oases spotting the landscape growing up around natural water reservoirs. |
