No, he didn't kill the population as far as medieval killings go. He absorbed them and granted the christians free exercise of their religion. Granted, with increased taxes. But that's more than any christian ruler of the time did.
And again, law of the time was a three days plunder for the troops, if a city didn't surrender. Again, look at 1204. For fucks sake, present at least some knowledge if you want to argue.
