       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 :
       [quote]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.
       ...
       ...their achievements were to be the creation of the first
       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       money deposited in one Templar preceptory could be withdrawn at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.[/quote]

       Another short information to enhance the credibility of the
       explanation. See the information below :
       [quote]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][/quote]

       Saladin, the First Muslim Leader who Fiercely Against Western Ca

       (If you not have a time to read the whole content, read only the
       sentences which given bold)
       [quote]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.[/quote]
