Hasan Sabbah and the Alamut Terror

In all periods of history, political and social tyranny was rooted in secrecy and anti-democratic methods. The anti-life and anti-love instincts that exist in human nature are fed by images of happiness that will occur in a virtual future. As a matter of fact, every form of government that darkens human life has tried to secure its own future by glorifying these tendencies.

This is why; Hasan Sabbah's administration, which is a competent combination of secrecy and state authority; He was one of the harshest examples of tyranny as well as bigotry. It could not be prevented that this would gradually escalate into brutal terror.

Hasan Sabbah, who lives in the most eye-catching tower of Alamut Castle, in the magnificent residence reserved for him, surrounded by the worship of his disciples; He was not a simple adventurer. The news we received about the organization he founded, the actions he carried out, and his level of knowledge and education testify that he was a man of genius. But now we are not in a position to know whether he felt the authority and presence of an all-powerful divinity in himself. If he, like his disciples, believed in his divinity, he was undoubtedly in a great delusion. If he laughed at this belief, then it is indisputable that his thoughts and actions should only be evaluated in terms of morality.

The impression left on history by all these examined facts is; Repeated in the famous verses of Horatius; It is the truth that "one mistake cannot be corrected by another mistake": "In vitim ducit cumpae fuga."
