Where would he be in stances according to the current shit fest in the Middle-East?

Based Saladin would be like screw you guys and start his own movement, (basing it off rebel antics), gain followers, defeat the rebels and Assad, inspire the Kurds (his own kinsmen) to join him, and start a war against ISIS. He would call it a Sultanate, and eventually defeat ISIS, and take over Iraq and Syria.

saladin is love
saladin is lyfe

Saladin would have been very conservative by our modern standards.

Depends I suppose

He was regarded as a very chivalrous person and gained that reputation throughout Europe along with granting amnesty to Christians and crusaders. That was during the Crusades. Domestically, the Ayyubid Dynasty was actually pretty decent for the time as Ayyubid rulers were well educated and embraced learning activity. Medicine and science also flourished

I would imagine him forming a nation similar to that of the Ottoman Empire under Suleiman during it's height 

Ayyub lmao

Although not a gay rights supporter he was known for being educated and actually very liberal for his times. So if raised in this day and age, he may be Canadian or very liberal, European.
