Why do Shia muslims try to downplay his influence in the Islamic world?

He massacred an entire city of Shia in Egypt so they spent the next five decades trying to assassinate him.

jeez do modern shias still hold that grudge, saying shit like he was overrated, hated by the Islamic world at the time for not uniting them, being glazed by christians?

>>17859631 (OP)
He and his zenki overlords massacred shia from north Iraq to Egypt, also he also brought the Jews back to Palestine after his conquest
Also his family and descendants were shit and throw the region into endless civil war until the mongols and mamluks ended the clown show

God this movie was just straight up shit but I want to like it so badly

>mamluks ended the clown show
They also had their own clown show. The shortlived Ayyubid dynasty was unstable but it did lay the groundwork for the Mamluk preservation of Sunni Islamic tradition and enabled Saladin to cement himself in the Islamic consciousness not just as a captor of Jerusalem.

Why is this guy so popular? He got constantly BTFO by the crusaders constantly.
Baybars on the other hand was much more competent and actually drove the crusaders into the sea.

Christians view him as a noble opponent but of course they hate Baybars because he actually scored a decisive victory against them.

>>17859734
Because he unified a lot of muslims and ended the kingdom of jarusalem

>>17859734
entitlement from cristians. they likehim because ultimately he didnt win and they can look down on him and say "you did good tho". when you look at muslim entities that beat christias fair and square all that noble acting goes away and its just shitflinging
