Saladin was virtually forgotten by Muslim history until recently. His name was kept alive by European historians and novelists who saw him as an heroic and honorable enemy in the Crusade stories. His appearance in popular adventure stories by the likes of Sir Walter Scott made Muslims re-evaluate the long-forgotten Saladin in the 19th century, although they largely maintained the westernized, romantic and largely fictitious character of western literature, including keeping him as an Arab hero even though he was a Kurd. In the 20th century he has become a huge historical figure in Islam, mainly because of what his conquest of Jerusalem now represents for anti-Zionists.
