An amazingly informative article. Thanks for posting it!

[nopardons]

Thanks for the ping. :-)

Actually, I have a book( yes, I was using it as a refference the other night. LOL ), which contains Sleeman's writings, and others's work, that descirbe the history of the THUGS and the Brit's handling of the THUG problem; the above is included.

We must wipe out terrorism and terrorists by any means possible; just as we did with the anarchists.

Many thanks for posting this; more people need to read and know about factual history.

This is still relevant today, and I doubt it will ever cease to be a valuable lesson.

Great article! Good lessons for methodically and without mercy seeking out those who would kill and maim others.

Thank you for this article. First time I have ever been exposed to the Thugs and their history.

I've known about the Thugee but never in a million years did I know they were Muslims. Now it makes a lot more sense.

Some Thugs were Muslims, but most were Hindu.

What the article illustrates is the importance of having a robust belief in the superiority of your own culture, and of taking decisive action in expression of that belief.

Not having, or not admitting to, that belief is like fighting with one hand tied behind your back.

The reasonable explanation is that these Thug Muslims were once Hindus. An example of residual Hindu pagan beliefs continuing after the Muslim invasions.

Residual pagan beliefs existed amongst European populations converted to Christianity for a time, too.

Nice post. I especially liked this observation:

Moreover, on those rare occasions when conspiracies and combinations have been exposed, they have all too often succeeded in merely going underground, metamorphosing and emerging anew after a "decent" interval, to resume their subversive, murderous activities. This apparently was the case with the Cathars, the Templars, the Bavarian Illuminati, and, of course, with the American communists and their sponsors following the McCarthy era.

Obviously a very worthwhile bit of history for anyone involved in eliminating Islamic extremists. Hopefully we will be more successful there than we have been with the Communists.

I'm gonna clue you in. All Muslims in India were once Hindus. Their ancestors were converted at the point of the sword

I assumed they were Hindu until today. I want to know more.
