Today, my group was able to find a few websites with significant information about the Third Crusade and the Muslim feelings towards it.

The Third Crusade involved Richard the Lionhearted of the Franks and Saladin reaching a treaty without bloodshed between the two religious groups. The Muslims would permit Christians to visit Jerusalem but not rule. Originally, the Muslims did not care about the Christians coming to a city in their control until they started causing trouble and commotion in the Muslim world. The crusades left no real lasting effects on the Muslims.
If youre using wikipedia theres a really helpful one on Saladin himself that talks all about the Third crusade.
