Wednesday, 21 January 2009 14:40I went to IKEA again today....how sad is that?
Anyway, so I've found a website which pretty much explains the Battle of Uhud, one of the battles of the Prophet Mohamed very well for laymans:
As the war with Mecca went on, Ali continued to show his battle prowess. In the Battle of Uhud, Ali fought bravely and was wounded seventeen times (!!) while fighting off hordes of Meccan troops. He also managed to help rescue The Prophet when Mohammad fell into a hidden pit trap. Ultimately, the Muslim forces were beaten back by the superior generalship of mega-badass Khalid ibn Al-Waleed, an incredibly powerful Meccan tribesman who would go on to be one of the greatest heroes of the Muslim Empire. I pretty much envision this battle going down like a game of Dynasty Warriors 4 for the PS2, where you've got like Ali and Khalid running around killing everything that moves and being totally awesome, but I guess Ali didn't take out enough Gate Captains or whatever so he ended up losing out on all the good Morale bonuses.
