Finally, Jerusalem in Arabic

This just came into my mailbox:

A Unique Archaeological Discovery – a Crusader Inscription in Arabic, found in Tel Aviv, which bears the name of Frederick II, “King of Jerusalem”

This is the only Crusader inscription in the Arabic language ever found in the Middle East...that bears the name of the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick II, and the date “1229 of the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah”.

It was recently deciphered by Professor Moshe Sharon and Ami Shrager of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found on an...800-years-old inscription [] fixed years ago in the wall of a building in Tel Aviv...Frederick II led the Sixth Crusade of 1228-1229 and succeeded, without resorting to arms, in achieving major territorial gains for the Crusader Kingdom. His most important feat was the handing over of Jerusalem to the Crusaders by the Egyptian sultan al-Malik al-Kamil as a result of an armistice agreement the two rulers signed in 1229...The Arabic inscription was drafted by Frederick’s officials, or possibly even the emperor himself...The unique Arabic inscription is almost completely intact. It lists all of the titles of Frederick II, and as already stated, has no counterpart elsewhere. In Sicily, where Frederick’s main royal palace was located, no Arabic inscription of his has been found to this date.. Furthermore, until now this is the only Crusader inscription in the Arabic language ever found in the Middle East.

The "only"?  The "sole"?

Does that mean, by the crooked thinking that goes on 'on the other side', that until that was found and deciphered, we could claim there were no Arabs here working for or against or with the Crusaders?  Simply because there was no documentary evidence until now?

Or that Jerusalem was an unknown?
