It was the "whites". They are the people of "Knights Templar"
who allied with the Western European Christian kingdoms from the
ancient German (Holy Roman Empire), Italy (Papal Kingdom),
French (Frankish), Spanish (Iberian Peninsula or Aragon), and
England (Britons) to against the Islamic Saracen troops and
conquered the "Holy Land of Jerusalem" (Today is Palestine) and
did the "Crusade War" for hundreds of years, 4 times longtime
war. See this information :

> Modern historians would scoll at such a notion, but certainly
illustrates the unique hold the Knights Templar have had on the
European imagination ever since they emerged from obscurity in
the late 1120s. They have been seen as heroic soldier-monks
guarding pilgrims of the Holy Land during the Crusades,
defenders of Holy Church who fought alongside Richard the
Lionheart.

standing army in Europe since the days of the Roman Empire, and
- as [b]the first bankers in the West - the medieval
organization that did most to pave the way for modern
capitalism.[/b]

> Given that the Templars played a major role in financing the
Second Crusade, it might be worth examining the role of the
Order played in the financial affairs of both Outremer and the
West, and the subsequent dominance they exerted over what was to
evolve into a system of international banking
>
> The Temple as Bankers
>
> The Templars quite early on their history developed a
reputation for being reliable bankers. They were - in effect -
Europe's first bank. They developed a system of credit notes
whereby money deposited in one Templar preceptory could be
withdrawn at another upon production of a credit note. Monies
thus deposited proved to be quite safe, as Templar keeps were
formidable buildings. Some of their castles in Outremer, for
instance, were so well defended.

> The Structure of the Order

> As the Temple grew from being the original nine soldier- monks
sworn to poverty, chastity and obedience into what we would
nowadays recognise multinational corporation, so too did the
structure of the Order evolve to reflect and support its
expanding role in affairs of the crusader states.

> Each major kingdom in the West with a significant Templar
presence had a Master who was answerable to the Grand Master :
France, England, Aragon, Portugal, Poitou, Apulia and Hungary.

Another short information to enhance the credibility of the

> They were prominent in Christian finance; non-combatant
members of the order, who made up as much as 90% of their
members,[2][3] managed a large economic infrastructure
throughout Christendom.[4] They developed innovative financial
techniques that were an early form of banking,[5][6] building a
network of nearly 1,000 commanderies and fortifications across
Europe and the Holy Land, and arguably forming the world's first
multinational corporation.[7]

> Salad ed-Din Yusuf, more commonly known as Saladin, had been
one of the Muslim generals who had played a prominent part in
keeping Almaric's forces at bay during the Egyptian campaigns of
the 1160s, and he was to come into his own after Nur ed-Din's
death by forging alliances and creating unity between the
various Muslim kingdoms with the intention of continuing the
jihad (holy war) against the Franks.

> However, there was one segment of the Frankish population that
he felt outright hatred for, perhaps because he understood how
fanatical they were in their commitment to the Christian cause -
he detested, possibly even feared, the military orders.

> Muslim custom decrees that a man who is offered food or water
shall be spared. After his capture, Saladin offered a glass of
water to King Guy, who gratefully accepted it. The glass was not
offered to Reginald of Chatillon, the most hated man in the
whole East; instead, Reginald was offered the choice of
conversion or death, and he refused to convert. Saladin wasted
no more time and personally decapitated him. The Templar and
Hospitaller captives were given the same ultimatum - apostasy or
death. Saladin's hatred of the military order was founded upon
his belief that they were [color=red][b]the most fanatical of
the Frankish warriors, and the aftermath of Hattin proved him
right.[/b][/color] The Templar were so eager for martyrdom that
there was almost a stampede to be the first to be beheaded. All
230 Templar prisoners - and those of the Hospital - were
executed. Only Gerard de Ridefort was spared.
