Ha!

I thought this was going to be about a NEW hospital!

Wondering how they got that name passed the thought police?

The hospital was established between 1099 and 1291, with permission from the Muslim authorities, by a Christian military order called the Kinghts Hospitaller

Ummm, given that the 1st Crusade beseiged and conquored Jerusalem in 1099....I somehow doubt there were any "Muslim authorities" in Jerusalem then to grant any permission to anyone....

"800 Crusaders vs 40,000 Muslims"

When one learns about the REAL history of the crusaders, in spite of all the horendous bloodshed, one cannot but stand in awe of their courage and determination, against absolutely astounding odds.

**Indeed, the building had different wings and departments for patients suffering from different medical conditions. In times of emergency, it could take in up to 2,000 patients from all religions.**

BTTT!
