Introduction
In 1187, in the Harding Plain in present-day Israel, the wind was very noisy.
More than 20,000 corpses were scattered on the ground. They bid farewell to their hometown in Europe a few years ago and came to the fertile land of the Crescent with a full heart, trying to seize wealth and fame. But now the only ones reflected in their rotten eyes are vultures and crows.
After the Battle of Harding, the Crusaders lost Jerusalem, but the world has the least ambitions. The monarchs of Britain, France and Germany gathered half of Europe's power and rushed into the vast sea of sand again. Five years later, Conrad, the Marquis of Northern Italy, was elected as the new king of Jerusalem. Conrad was strong and intelligent, ambitious, eager to rebuild the "nation of heaven" and gain an immortal reputation.
1On April 28, 1192, three Christian monks and gods appeared in his camp without knowing it. They are polite and bow and mark crosses on their chests when they see them. At that time, such monks were everywhere, and no one cared about it. Until they walked to Conrad. While bowing, the three of them did not cross the hand, but pulled out the dagger from their robes.
The last scene that Conrad saw in his eyes was the three monks surrendering, muttering "Unreal..."
No matter how severe torture is, the assassin remains silent. Until they were skinned in public, they were just silently reciting something before they died. This scene made the onlookers creepy, but no one cared too much about these unknown people during the political turmoil.
The Count of Champagne in France immediately married Conrad's widow, hoping to inherit the throne. As his chariot marched near Mount Alberts in the north of Tehran today, a large fortress built on the edge of the cliff was discovered. The city goes straight into the clouds, it is extremely steep, with goshawks hovering on the top of the castle, with extraordinary momentum.
While they stopped to watch, a man appeared in front of the car like a ghost, and on behalf of the castle owner, they invited them to enter the city to rest. This was a common etiquette at that time, and the Count readily agreed.
When you enter the city, everything is in order, all the servants are white robes, and the castle lord is wearing black clothes. The latter introduced to them: "The obedience of these people to me far exceeds that of Christians to their masters." The Count was about to argue, but the lord of the castle's left hand gently lowered, and a young man jumped down from the highest tower and fell into eight petals. The Count was stunned and could not speak for a long time.
"By these trustworthy servants" the lord explained with a smile, "I solved the enemy of our group."
After leaving, the count looked up on the road. The castle had disappeared into the mist, and the horror scene just now seemed like a nightmare. But what he didn't know was that just a few months ago, it was the fortress lord who issued a concise order: assassinate Conrad. In 1197, the Egyptian Sultan besieged the city of Jaffa. Just when the Earl of Champagne dispatched troops to prepare for rescue, he fell from his heavily guarded palace and died. Add to the subsequent setbacks,Finally, Europe gave up its dream of a crusade.
But history has memory. Eight hundred years later, Ubisoft, a game company in his hometown of France, created the factory's golden signboard based on this mysterious group. "Assassin's Creed", which is known to everyone around the world.
The series has released 12 official works so far, with countless DLC and explanatory works. From the rolling yellow sand of the Levant to the Renaissance Italy, from the North America of the War of Independence to the charming Caribbean, to Paris, London, Greece, and Northern Europe, the assassin's footsteps have already stepped on the world.
Recently, Ubisoft announced that his next work "Assassin's Creed: Fantasy" will abandon mythical elements and return to the original intention of the series in terms of gameplay. The stage is also set in the West Asia area, the earliest base camp of the Assassin Organization. This news made me, an old fan, excited.
Before Ubisoft announced more news on September 11, we planned content for the historical background of Assassin's Creed, which is this article. Although there are a lot of relevant content, I hope this article can use the consistent depth and hard core of the martial arts lecture hall to give everyone a clearer understanding of the origin, process and end of the assassin organization in history.
Nizaripai
First of all, there has never been a so-called "Asassin". At least from the perspective of the Muslims of the parties involved, this sect does not exist.
I will not repeat the origin of "assassin" and "assassin" as a result of this. But according to Muslim historical materials, the organization hidden in the mountains and high castles and acting treacherously and violently should be a branch of the Islamic Shiites, a branch of the Islamic Shiites, Nizari.
In the 7th century, Islam split in response to the major political and religious differences of "who is the successor of Muhammad's mantle", resulting in the Sunnis in the west and Shiites in the east, and further downwards, countless factions were branched out. We don’t need to figure out their differences, we just need to understand one thing: all factions think that they are the most orthodox Islam.
The Abbasid Dynasty is called "Black-clad Food" in Chinese history books
In the mid-8th century, the Abbasid Dynasty was in full swing and ruled the vast territory from Tunisia (southern Italy) to Khorasan (west neighbor of Xinjiang). But a major disagreement broke out in the Shiites, which was the issue of the candidate for the seventh Imam. Imam is literally translated as "paragraph leader" and can be understood as religious leader.
In fact, things are simple. The sixth Imam liked his second son very much, so he made him the heir. But a large group of Muslims quit at that time and determined that the sixth eldest son Ismailis was the real Imam, and the Ismailis was born.
At the beginning of the 10th century, the Abbasid Dynasty declined, and the oppressed Ismaili faction took the opportunity to seize North Africa and declared that it was Fati, the daughter of the prophet.The descendants of Ma were once glorious. But 100 years later, the Fatima dynasty also declined.
The Arabic "Lion" calligraphy of the Ismaili School
In 1094, when Fatima Caliph died, he appointed his eldest son as his heir, but the warlord who undermined him chose his second son to succeed him, and his eldest son was defeated and died. Most Ismaili didn't want to make trouble anymore, so they pinched their noses and accepted it. But there was still a wave of people who were so arrogant that they would not recognize their second son even if they were beaten to death. This group of people who insisted that the eldest son and his descendants were the orthodox caliphs were called the Nizari faction.
Factional division is not a college student debate, but at that time, it was a life-and-death struggle. Since its birth, the Shiites have been fully suppressed by the Sunnis, and have been outnumbered in all military struggles and have been defeated repeatedly. Under high pressure, Shiites developed an organizational form that was absolutely obedient to the leaders and was low-key and secret.
And as an absolutely niche, the Nizari school under Ismaili, must be even more extreme if it wants to survive. They insisted on guerrillaism, squeezing flags and relied on their own, and separated from the Fatima dynasty. Climbing out of the sea of corpses and blood, everyone was cruel.
The one who leads this group of ruthless people is the wolf kill among the ruthless people: Hasan-i Sabbah.
Everything is empty
In 1050, Hassan was born in Persukum. In his youth, he received personal teachings from the co-founders of the Islamic law in Persia. He became a small town of questioners who mastered palmistry, foreign languages, philosophy, astronomy and geometric mathematics. Under the teachings of the founder, Hassan undoubtedly became a loyal believer of the Ismaili faction and also a wanted criminal of the empire.
At the age of 17, Hassan was preparing to go to Cairo, the capital of the Fatima Dynasty, to further his studies. He passed through Isfahan, Azerbaijan, and Armenia along the way. He turned south through Iraq and passed Damascus, and finally arrived in Cairo in 1078. Along the way, he avoided the government and debated fiercely with religious leaders from all over the country, sometimes physical debate. Here we can see that Hassan is particularly tough and very sharp.
While strolling on the streets of Cairo, Hassan was attracted by a uniform sound of chanting scriptures. The building that heard the sound was the "land of learning" of the Ismaili school. Here you can see the official university of the Fatima Dynasty, which granted students the top Western knowledge at that time, from military to technology. But after staying for a while, Hassan discovered that this place was not simple.
In short, another face of "Land of Learning" is the secret association of the Ismaili faction of the Fatima Dynasty. Unlike the pyramid structure that can be seen at a glance, the circular structure of the "Land of Learning" allows the people in power to be located in the center of layers of wrapping, making ordinary people never know how far they are from the core, and can more effectively protect and hide core personnel.
If graduates want to enter the senior level, they must go through nine stages of enrollment procedures. At first, it was emptying the existing belief system of students and making them rely on it.Teacher, and swear allegiance. Then there is indoctrination of teachings and meditation. The seventh stage is crucial, and it teaches students that all humans and living things are united and equal, including positive and negative power. Students can use their power for creation or destruction. Finally, students learned that there is no religion or philosophy in the world, only absolute obedience to the leaders. During the brainwashing process, any student who resists will be cleared.
The core outline of these nine stages can be refined into one sentence, "Everything is illusory, everything is allowed."
Hasan keeps it in mind.
With Hassan's axis strength and the influence of "Land of Learning" on him, nothing will be surprising.
The reason why the Nizari School was created was that they supported the eldest son of Ismai Imam as the true heirs, and the leader of this group was Mr. Hassan. So he was thrown into prison by the warlords. However, according to historical materials that did not mark the source, the spire of the prison collapsed inexplicably, which at that time meant that God did not want him to be confined, so Hassan was released and deported and regained his freedom.
In prison, Hassan repeatedly thought about the ninth-level ritual training method of the "land of learning" and determined that as long as it is improved, he could gain power. After he was released from prison, he experimented with his followers and achieved good results, which made him feel overwhelmed with confidence that he wanted to do something for the Ismaili. At this time, he was already the founder and CEO of Nizaripai.
When Hassan preached in Persia in his early years, he noticed that the northern region close to the Caspian Sea was highly independent and did not fully accept government orders. This place is composed of followers of Ali, a Shiite stronghold, who hates Sunnis as much as himself, especially the Seljuk Turks who dominate the status of the Old Abbasid Dynasty.
In 865, a separatist lord of Shiye Zaide Sect was hunting nearby and saw a steep place. Goshawks lived in the rocks and guarded a 50-kilometer-long valley. The terrain was dangerous and the strategic location was very prominent. Thinking of this, he broke ground to build a fortress. Locals call this city “Aluh āmūt” (Eagle’s teachings). It is translated as Alamut Castle, where the town of Alamut for 200 years has been.
The Zaydism, also known as the Zaydism, is the oldest branch of the Shiites. In 740, Zaide, the son of the fourth Shiite Imam, launched an armed uprising in response to the corruption of the administration and unfair government orders, but was defeated and died. Its descendants and followers then established the Zhade faction, who emphasized justice and responsibility, believing that Muslims have moral and legal obligations to launch an armed uprising against the corrupt and unjust Sultans and the Caliphate.
Two hundred years later, in 1088, Hassan discovered Fort Alamut. This is the God-given place for him to seize the country and display his ambitions. Hassan spent two years preaching around him, and finally incorporated all the village elders into the Nizari faction and gradually penetrated the castle. In 1090, Hassan and his men mingled into the castle, and the soldiers controlled the key pass without bloodshed, forcing the castle owner to accept himself 30The bid of 00 dinar "sells" the castle.
This is where the dream begins.
The ruins and locations of Fort Alamut
According to the Arab legendary historical literature "Memoirs of the Great Master" and "The Travels of Marco Polo", there is a luxurious and beautiful garden in the valley, with fountains and villas everywhere, with flowers and fragrant fruit trees, and the wine and delicacies. The organization uses this "nation of the earth" to attract young people here.
Regardless of whether this legendary statement is true or not, at least during Hassan's 35 years of rule, Islamic law was mainly restrained. Although Hassan is the leader of the Nizari faction, he never calls himself an imam, but only calls himself "Huga". His biological son was executed for illegal drinking. Hassan himself did not do whatever he wanted like the cold-blooded pervert or tyrant in later legends. Instead, he lived in the room, and his main time was reading, translating, praying, and doing asceticism, writing teachings, and issuing orders. He also has a large collection of books on philosophy, scientific literature and scientific equipment.
Hujjah means "proof, evidence", he was an agent of the Imam during his retreat and was a senior priest of Shiites
But don't forget that the reason why Nizari and Hassan were able to enter history books was not academic, but Assassin.
Kill one person in ten steps
Why did the Nizari act in such an extreme way? This is closely related to the context of the times.
I have emphasized many times in the previous article that Nizari was born from the Ismaili faction, and the latter's doctrine inevitably moves to the path of emphasizing authority, absolute obedience to the leaders, secret and low-key, and revolutionary subversion under political and military pressure. The Ismaili school believed that "the imam designated by Allah is the real imam", and other imams are rebellious sinners.
The political situation was chaotic at that time, and there were many warlords in various places, and they were all highly centralized individual dictatorships. The weakness of such organizations is that once an authoritative person dies, the regime will be hit hard. Therefore, the Ismaili faction will train some elites and capable people, dedicated and absolutely loyal people to attack and shock the enemy through assassination activities and expand their sphere of influence. This type of assassin is called Fedayeen, translated in Arabic as "self-sacrifice", which refers to military personnel who sacrifice themselves for noble purposes.
The way to train assassins is to level nine rituals, and the assassin's creed to assassin is "Everything is empty, everything is acceptable"!
The first famous assassin recorded in historical records was in October 1092. An Ismayi assassin dressed as a dancing Sophie practitioner, turned around and approached the chariot of the prime minister of the court, then overturned the sedan chair and poked the falling target into a hornet's nest. Because this prime minister hated the Ismaili faction very much and sent large troops to collect them many times. After his death, the Ismaili received a breathing opportunity.
The world is in chaos at this time, SerThe pillar warlords and Arab nobles were in the same situation as the fire and internal strife and foreign wars. With the acquiescence and support of Seljuk Sultan, Hassan organized nearly 50 assassinations. The assassin (Feday) was the best spy and killer at that time. They knew how to gain the trust of each other, knew the preferences and habits of the target, and were willing to stay dormant for several years for one opportunity. Be willing to pay any price to put your goal to death.
They acted as tools for the political struggle of high-level aristocrats and also used the blood of the victims to create the terrifying reputation of the Nizari faction. After the assassination, the assassin deliberately swayed or was captured, just to promote their fearlessness and death and was sealed with blood.
It should be noted here that the Nizari School is not a so-called "assassin country", nor is it only one Alamut Fort. Instead, a separatist regime with a high degree of centralization, clear division of organization and a permanent armed force controls a large tract of land in northern Persia. In Hassan's hometown, the local crowd responded and launched an open rebellion, and the local governor was appointed by Hassan himself. So assassination is just the most famous side job of the Nizari faction. Besides, political assassination was nothing new at that time.
In the 12th century, the Abbasid Dynasty had long been a passing cloud, and the Fatima Dynasty was no longer in power. The Seljuk Turkic Kingdom, which replaced it, became the number one enemy of the Nizari faction. For the Persians, if the Arabs could still be regarded as conquerors of civilization, then the Turks were pure barbarian invaders. The Seljuk rulers were deeply hated by all walks of life in Persian society, and Hassan repeatedly publicly stated that he hated these Sunni Turkic barbarians.
But the Turks who established their country with military power were not vegetarians, and the Nizari-Seljuk War broke out. The small Nizari regime resisted tenaciously from 1090 to 1194, and became more and more courageous. Ismay Praid fought east and expanded in Syria and Persia, mastered multiple strategic hubs, and once controlled Aleppo. However, unlike the "map coloring" expansion we imagined, the Nizari regime tended to expand politically and religiously. Arrange eyeliners in the court, win over generals in command, control important figures, etc.
Compared with the large-scale military operations that Nizari sent tens of thousands of people, the "signature" assassination activities pale in comparison
In a century-long tug-of-war, whenever the Seljuks defeated the Nizari faction on the front battlefield, the latter let their generals and senior officials splatter their blood on the bed. There were countless powerful people and Emir who died in the Nizari Assassin, and even the Caliph could not escape death. In the mid-12th century, the Nizari faction controlled at least 10 important castles in Syria, including the Masyaf Castle. Yes, it is the Assassin's Creed 1's Assassin's Base Camp.
The Seljuk Turks spent a hundred years to exert their efforts to fight against each other. Not only did they not destroy the Nizari faction, but instead allowed them to grow from a very weak force to a powerful force on the Near East political stage. Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, new intelligence was passed to Hassan, a large group of fully armed, blonde and blue-eyed GentilesLanded on the east coast of the Mediterranean.
However, if you think that the Nizari faction will reconcile the past with the Turks to resist Christians, you are very wrong. Because heresy is more hateful than paganism. In the eyes of Shiite Muslims, Christians may just be "lost lambs" that can make them "return to the right path." But the Sunnis are internal "traitors" who attempt to distort and even destroy Islam.
Especially at that time, the situation in the Middle East was complicated. The Sunni Turks, Shiite Persians, Arabs on both sides, Catholic Crusaders, Orthodox Eastern Rome, and countless small factions and small warlords. Moreover, strictly speaking, there is no so-called "Arabs". At that time, the only link between different ethnic groups, tribes, different civilizations and different languages was only Islam, and their conflicts and entanglements were no less than Christians.
It was precisely because of the fierce internal struggle of Muslims that the Crusaders invaded Antioch, captured the entire Syrian coast in one go, and established the four kingdoms. For Hassan, the Crusaders were just new players in this game, that's all. The long-term goal of the Nizari faction remains to eliminate the Seljuks and become the master of the Islamic world. Therefore, many assassinations against the Seljuks by the Nizari faction instead restrained the latter's power and objectively helped the Crusaders.
In 1124, the leader of the Nizari school, Hassan, passed away, but the organization still flourished in the dogma he set. By 1162, when Hassan II (Ḥasan ʿAlā Zikrihi's-Salām) came to power, the Nizari faction was already in full swing. He was in charge of Alamut and selected a very talented man to take charge of the Syrian branch, whose reputation even surpassed Hassan II.
He is the "old man in the mountains", Rashid ad-Din Sinan. The protagonists mentioned at the beginning of the article are the assassination of Conrad and the Earl Henry, who are all the stories of this Sinan, and they have all happened in history.

"Old Man in the Mountains"
If the Hassan era was a warlord fight in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, then the Xinan era was a three-legged three-legged tripod. The Crusaders had gained a foothold in Syria, the Turkish Zanji Dynasty achieved temporary unification of Iraq, and the Fatima in the south was also replaced by the Ayub dynasty of Saladin. As one of the greatest rulers of that era, Saladin was determined to unify the entire Muslim collective and drive the crusaders into the sea. Therefore, his scimitar must be cut at the Nizari faction, and fierce clashes broke out between the two sides.
One day in 1174, Saladin was sleeping in the camp besieging Aleppo. When he turned over, he suddenly felt a chill on his cheek. He sat up suddenly and found a dagger and a note stuck in his pillow. Saladin looked around, and the armed guards were still standing outside the tent. This is Sinan's warning if he continues with Nizari PiaThe enemy, the result is self-evident.
However, Saladin did not admit defeat and continued to attack and took Aleppo. For this reason, he was injured by an assassin. Saladin was still not cowardly and besieged Masyaf Castle in 1176, but finally he was in a hurry to fight. This armistice has produced many legends, one of which is that Saladin is once again threatened by assassins. But the reality may be that Saladin and Sinan secretly negotiated and reached an alliance, and the two decided to give priority to the crusade.
This decision is correct. Because the Crusaders launched the Third Eastern Envoy in 1189 gathered three powerful Christian kings, and even stronger than Saladin could only support it. In 1191, Saladin lost the Battle of Alsov, lost the important town of Jaffa, and the door to Jerusalem opened.
In the winter of that year, the Crusaders marched into Jerusalem, while Saladin was restrained by court politics and could not organize defense. The Crusader, Richard the Lionheart, summoned Conrad, the Marquis of Montefera in the direction of the Levant, but was rejected by him because Richard formed an alliance with the latter's political enemies.
In 1192, Conrad was elected as King of Jerusalem, and Richard's political power was hit. However, just before the former was crowned, Sinan arranged for the assassin to kill Conrad. People believe that the "Party A" of this assassination is Richard. In any case, this infighting prevented the Crusaders from taking Jerusalem in winter. The following year, the Crusaders retreated to the coast due to internal strife, and Saladin saved the holy city.
In 1193, the great "assassin mentor" Shinan passed away, and in the same year Saladin also died of illness. The great warrior King Richard was imprisoned by the Austrian Duke on the murder of Conrad and died six years later. Henry, Earl of Champagne, fell from the building and died after sitting for a few years. The Crusaders failed to seize Jerusalem, and Saladin failed to completely eliminate the Crusaders.
In the last decade of the 12th century, all forces had finished their performances and staged historical dramas in the desert of Syria. Among the many glittering historical figures, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice the hidden dagger behind the scenes.
The End of the Assassin's Order
In the 13th century, the Nizari faction was still good at dancing among all forces, and even the most "white lotus" hospital Knights had repeatedly asked assassins to help them do some shameful work. The last official exchange record between the two sides took place in the mid-13th century. The Nizari School was keenly aware that the Mongols from the East were by no means good, and hoped to unite the Crusaders to fight these uninvited guests with the Muslims, but were rejected.
As the Nizari Empire was destroyed by the Mongols, the Nizari headquarters on the Iranian Plateau was also flooded by the Mongolian torrent. The assassination against Mongge Khan ended in failure, and it might even be just a rumor. Of course, even if the assassination is successful, it cannot stop the Mongols from taking steps. March 1253,Genghis Khan's grandson commanded five 10,000 teams appeared in Hassan's hometown. No living creatures were left behind in any castle captured by the Mongols.
In 1255, the last Imam Rukn al-Din Khurshah ascended the throne, and the Nizari faction was already like a candle in the wind.
Mongge Khan
Hulsha knew that he had no chance of winning and hoped to preserve the sect's incense through political compromise. The Mongolian answer was very straightforward, and the Imam had to visit Hulagu's tent in person to show complete surrender. At the same time, the Mongolian army accelerated its attack and pointed directly at Fort Alamut.
Hursha humbly promised to hand over all castles except Alamut and Lanmusar, and even willing to give his 8-year-old son to the Mongolians as hostage. But some lords resisted on their own and reduced the patience of the Khan. Hursha had his own concerns, and he wanted to preserve at least several major castles as a foothold for the Nizaris, while Hulagu demanded that he must surrender completely. This has already determined the fate of Hursha and Nizari.
In November 1256, Hulagu personally surrounded the Memondiz Castle where Hursha was located, and even the craftsmen participated in the siege. The bombardment of the "Hui Hui Cannon" destroyed Hursha's will to resist. On the 19th, Hursha went out of the city to surrender, and all the remaining defenders died in battle at the highest point of the tower. At the end of December, Fort Alamut surrendered. Because the city walls were too strong, the Mongols took great effort to completely destroy the fortifications.
The Alamut Library was burned down, and countless rare ancient books were lost, including the Nizari School's self-written history books. Later generations studied the Nizari school and had to investigate the literature from other countries. In a year, all the military forces of the Nizari faction in Persia were crushed by the Mongols.
Hulsha failed to effectively order the remaining castles to give up resistance, and his whole family was almost wiped out. The Mongols also tried to lure tens of thousands of Nizari to send believers to the "peaceful rally" and then kill them all. The Mongols will slaughter every city, and more than 100,000 people were killed in the Nizari religions in Syria and Persia. The entire organizational structure was destroyed and the remaining people fled in scattered.
As an independent political faction, the Nizari faction was destroyed by the dust of history.
The story is still not over, though. Some Nizari tribes held the lonely city, and some castles even lasted until 1270. Nine years later, the Diaoyu City on the other end of the earth also declared its fall. The advantage of the Nizari faction rooted at the grassroots level is reflected, and the loose resistance has never stopped, and Hursha's son even briefly regained the Alamut Fort.
The remnants of Nizari fought guerrillas in the mountains and dealt with the Ilkhanate until the 14th century, and persisted until the latter collapsed. The remnants of Nizari tribes rebuilt the sectarian center in Anjudan, central Iran, and were active until the 15th century. From this perspective, the Mongols did destroy the Niza, who was known for assassination.The regime of Nizari remains. It is also widely present in Persia, Central Asia and India. They have always given up their "old business" and become pure religious organizations.
In 1830, the Persian king granted the 46th generation of Nizari Imam "Aga Khan" (which means noble). After Agahan I, he came to Mumbai, India, but the local Ismayi branch, the Hoga school, refused to obey his leadership, and the lawsuits between the two sides continued to fight until the Supreme Court of Mumbai. The court borrowed various historical documents from Central Asia and determined that the ancestor of Agahan I was the leader of Alamutburg and the orthodox imam of the Fatima dynasty. Finally, Agahan I was determined to win the case, and legally confirmed that he was the unquestionable spiritual leader of the Ismayi Pian Nizari branch.
In 1936, Shah Karim al-Husayni, the great grandson of Agahan I, was born in Switzerland. It is worth mentioning that his family is prominent. Prince Karim studied at Harvard University and majored in Islamic history. In 1961, he succeeded his grandfather as the 49th imam of the Nizari Sect, namely Agahan IV, and he is still alive.
The ancestors of Nizari, who were once so poor that they were hiding from earth and hiding from Tibet, would not have thought that their descendants, Agahan IV, had assets worth about US$13.3 billion, and were one of the fifteen richest royal nobles in the world. After their efforts, today's Nizari Ismayi faction is the largest branch of the Shiite faction second only to the "Twelve Imams".
The most extreme Nizari faction has become one of the most open Islamic factions today. Particular emphasis is placed on the diverse coexistence between race, ethnicity, culture and religion, as well as the social justice pursued by ancestors. Agahan IV did everything possible to protect the material and educational needs of the churchgods around the world, launching and promoting many social science projects. The International Agahan University was established in Pakistan to focus on biomedical research. Grassroots health care centers have been established in India and African countries to promote the modernization of Islamic civilization. Agahan IV's long-term goals also include eliminating global poverty, promoting religious diversity, improving women's status, researching and protecting Islamic art and architectural remains, and more.
The "Assassin" 800 years ago used daggers and poison to cut off dissidents. Today's "assassin" uses education and medical care to improve the world.
Maybe, this is the real "everything is empty, everything is acceptable".
