[edit] Cultural References

In fact, the base of operations in the videogame "Assassin's Creed" is Masyaf, not Alamut. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.209.216 (talk) 03:16, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Names

Should we really use the term "Hashhashin"? I'm changing it to the historically correct and academically accepted "Ismaili". I will try to add a reference to the Bernard Lewis book on the topic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FelixRex (talk • contribs).

But the term Hashhashin at least has the virtue of making it quite clear which particular group of Ismaili you are talking about - Hassan-i-Sabah's group. --Gwern (contribs) 17:13 13 December 2006 (GMT)
  • Ismaili is too unspecific. Hashashins were a faction of Ismailis. Funkynusayri (talk) 10:48, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
