Which ones did I get wrong? this was actually quite fun(and actually educational) hope it happens more often

you got 1 and 4 wrong.

in Q4, it says sin ON EARTH, so you didnt read carefully. 3 people got it right for Q1, so you could have just copied  Tongue

q2: My reference for the Battle of Hattin suggests the captured Templars converted, meaning many.  Head of the list would have been the commander Saladin.

Saladin was never a member of knights of Templar, he didnt convert to islam, he was already a muslim.

johnthedong got only one question wrong (question 2)

need to improve google skills !

That's ok.  I was doing this for entertainment.

q2: It did appear that several Templars converted, and it did not reference any one in particular (at that place)
"Two days later a few of the captured Templars and Hospitallers accepted an offer to convert to Islam."  http://www.ahrtp.com/MedievalWarfareOnLine/knightstemplar.htm - an interesting read.

For q4 I was reading about a 1st assassination rather than murder.

I think I'll also re-hunt up some of the evolution of the religion from north Africa as it moved across to Arabia and the importance of Muhammad with respect to the pre vs post Muhammad periods.

Hmm, interesting.  The Offa coin was an imperfect copy.  Certainly the other side would reveal the name clearly as the copied coin had both Islam and English text.

next time please just post answers without comments Smiley , even with google some might get the answers wrong and so you have higher chances of winning.

Its interesting to see some are copying the answers, and some are not.


Hmmm, that might be the case, but then I'm doing this for entertainment rather than the prize (and this time I excluded references), but the rules have not excluded comments yet.  Smiley

I could do some more hunting on the coin image, and the Templar question seemed odd.  The others were fairly easy.
