Saddam Hussein was born about 800 years after the birth of Saladin, and was born in the very same town of Trikit, although unlike Saladin, he was an Arab, not Kurdish.

The challenge, should you accept it, is to have Saddam Hussein successfully consolidate an empire however resembles Saladin's empire in shape. You get bonus points if he leaves a positive image in the West as a great statesman. ;)
