The Order of Assassins were the deadliest special forces of the Medieval world. They were masters of disguise and stealth, wielding psychological warfare as their greatest weapon. Originating in 11th-century Persia, the Assassins, led by Hassan-i Sabbah, targeted prominent figures, including Sunni leaders, employing tactics like stabbing with stilettos and slashing with concealed weapons. The Assassins successfully assassinated key figures, instilling fear and dread across the Middle East.

So no one expected the Order of the Assassins, did they?
I take it that their two greatest weapons were fear and disguise. ...And a near-fanatical devotion to Hassan-i Sabbah...
What does Hashashin mean in Arabic?
hashish users
Origin of the Word “Hashshashin”
The most commonly-repeated theory holds that the word comes from the Arabic hashishi, meaning “hashish users.” Chroniclers including Marco Polo claimed that the followers of Sabbah committed their political murders while under the influence of drugs, hence the derogatory nickname.Sep 19, 2019
“”targeted prominent figures, including Sunni leaders””
Another example that even if the State of Israel did not exist, the Middle East is still a cauldron of Hate. Millions of Arabs/Muslims, whatever, can live, work, vote and thrive in Israel. Once the Islamofascistnazis take over a country, any hope of freedom is gone.
The “Dark Ages” was almost exclusively a European phenomenon. At the same time, Arabia was having a Golden Age.
RE: Once the Islamofascistnazis take over a country, any hope of freedom is gone.
A citizen who didn’t for Sadiq Khan:
“Tell me about it.”
Or the Spanish Inquisition.
They were also demolishing it at the same time. The ElMohads came into Spain from Morocco and demanded that everyone either accept Islam or expect the sword, so the great Jewish luminary Maimonides was forced to flee Moorish Spain with his family, beginning a lifetime of wandering and persecution. Alexander’s library was destroyed and as a result only 11 of Aristophanes’ plays are extant in their entirety. The Greek texts that the Mohammedans preserved were actually in the keeping of a Christian university in Damascus, where Algebra was also invented. They preserved it all by deciding not to burn the university down.
That’s the theory, but according to the author of this video it’s stuff and nonsense. Doing such a precise act as targeted assassination of a high-ranking official requires focus and decisiveness. Perhaps they were rewarded with Hashish after the mission was accomplished, like Snuffles the Dog.
lol...
….. according to the Standard Islamic Narrative.
The so-called “Dark Ages” is a term invented by “Enlightenment” thinkers as to denigrate the Age of Faith that came before them, vaunting their own times as the “Age of Reason.”
When this was over, the leader told him this was Islamic Paradise and if you followed him as a leader this is where you would go when you died.
No offense, but check out the Thuggee of India.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuggee
A cult with a 500+ year-long trail of assassination and crimes. They’re still out there today, worshiping the goddess Kali. (highlighted in the movie, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom).
“A-SASS-in” vs. “Ah-sass-EEN” in dialect.
President Trump has used the word “thug” in speeches. The classic Thuggee were road agents, bandits, and violent thieves. Somehow, ‘thug’ is viewed as anti-black now.
That’s projection on the part of leftists.
Indiana Jones, nothing. Check out Gunga Din, starring, inter alia, Carry Grant.
The Thuggees were in India, and were probably brown skinned. But so were their victims.
Though we beat you and we flayed you,
By the Living God that made you,
You’re a better man than I am,
Gunga Din!
