The Hassassin The name might sound familiar. If not, you’ll probably better recognize them as assassins. Today an assassin is someone who kills important people, but long ago in the time of the crusades, The Assassins were a feared sect of Shi’a Islam. Then called the Hashshashin, which meant “Followers of Hashish,” they took over a large area of land in what is now Syria. When the Europeans invaded the Holy Land, they called the Hashshashin the Hassassin, which is where we get the word assassin. Today you find references to the Hashashin in many places. Perhaps most popular are the Assasin’s Creed video games in which the player takes the role of a member of the Hashshashin. In that game they call the grand master Al Mualim. This man did exist, however his proper name was Rashid ad-Did Sinan. The assassin were a small country, and were hated by Shiite muslims, such as the powerful sultan Saladin. Saladin besieged their capitol of Masyaf, but called off the siege after he awoke one morning to find an assassin’s dagger by his bed. Because the Hassassin could not possibly win a full out war, they resorted to their cunning and guile. Planning public assassinations by planting sleeper agents inside other countries and organizations, who could be activated to kill the leader of that country or organization if they were to threaten the Hassassins.
