When the Deputy Director of the Port of Miami, Khalid Salahuddin, was asked about the purchase of his port by a state-owned company from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), he defended the transaction. He stated, “They are not buying the Port of Miami. They are buying part of one of the operators at the port.”
But while Salahuddin is not concerned about the sale, many Floridians are shaking their heads.

They question the terrorist ties of the UAE. They question why their representatives in the White House have been so quick to praise the deal. However, possibly the most important question hasn’t been raised, and that is the one about Salahuddin himself.
Khalid Salahuddin is no stranger to controversy. In November of 2001, he was embroiled in a scandal, as an NBC 6 investigation exposed the Port of Miami as being a haven for criminal activity.

According to the report, convicted felons - with cases ranging from attempted murder to pedophilia - were hired to work at the port.

*The name "Salahuddin", sounded familiar to me. I went to Answers.com and was redirected HERE , which has the following.



Source Saladin, Sultan / Military Leader

Born: 1138

Birthplace: Takrit, Mesopotamia (now Iraq)

Died: 1193

Best Known As: The man who took back Jerusalem

Name at birth: Salah ad-Din Al-Ayyubi

Revered as a hero of Islam, Saladin united Arab forces and recaptured the holy city of Jerusalem from Christian Crusaders in the 12th century A.D. Of Kurdish origin, Saladin became the vizier of Egypt in 1169 and then took full control of the country in 1171; he later built the famed Citadel in Cairo.

His conquest of Jerusalem in 1188 prompted the Third Crusade, led by Richard I of England; Richard's forces defeated Saladin in several battles, but could not retake Jerusalem. Saladin and Richard signed an armistice in 1192, and the two are often linked in histories of the era.
