  The creepy stories about Hasan Sabbah and his Fedayeen are known by many people. This organization, known as Hashkashis and living in the Alamut castle (eagle's nest), accelerated the collapse of the Seljuk State and carried out many bloody assassinations, primarily in the Nizamülmülk (the Seljuk vizier). Thus, the word assassin, which means murder in Latin languages, comes from the word of hashasin. But, what were the reasons of the Fedayeen being so brave, even though they were few? In this respect, we can see what one can do when he believes, especially in bad purposes.

  When the historical sources are examined, we see that the Fedayeen have undergone very difficult education processes since childhood. In this process, they have passed an intensive political education (Ishmael teaching) beyond the lessons of science and military. Because the young people who were brainwashed at these ages are more likely to be a Fedayeen and go to die happily. In addition, the attacks of the Seljuk State aimed at the Ismaili sect were effectively abused on the children of those who died in these attacks. The imposition of the idea that his father had been unjustly killed by the State and subjected to torture for many years and the use of these traumas in children for this purpose has been taken as a model by many terrorist organizations even today.

  However, the training was not enough to turn these Fedayeen into a killing machine. At this point, Hasan Sababah's project, which he worked on for years, has been put into operation. Fake Heaven…The natural wonder surrounding the castle of Alamut started to make their garden a corner from heaven. First of all, he started his project by locating the most beautiful slave girls in these gardens. These girls, who have suffered many difficulties as slaves for years, have been fascinated by the beauty of these gardens and started to serve to Hasan Sabbah with the consciousness of absolute obedience.

   The idea that, the key to going to heaven in this world was in the hands of the new prophet Hasan Sabah, was adopted by Fedayeen. Hasan Sabbah, who had previously organized a trip to China, saw the poppy plant being used by local people and what kind of effects it had on people. Afterward, he sent some of his Fedayeen who successfully completed their training to the fake heaven by drinking poppy. Fedayeen found themselves in the garden of so-called paradise with beautiful girls, wines, and food and spent hours which could not imagine at their dreams. When the Fedayeen who had been put the sleep again by the effect of drinking poppies returned, and they decided to obey their so-called prophet, with no doubt. Because he has the key to heaven, and if he so wishes they can go back to paradise again. Yet the place they know as paradise is the Alamut's backyard.

  The stories told by the Fedayeen returning from the heaven spread among the other Fedayeen and even Seljuk soldiers. From that moment on, the only goal for the Fedayeen who saw so-called paradise is to go back to heaven again. Therefore, they were ready to sacrifice their lives. According to a rumor, when the Seljuk army was besieging the fortress, a representative from Seljuk Army came to the presence of Hasan Sabbah to surrender the castle. In order to intimidate him, Sabbah ordered one of the Fedayeen who had sent to so-called Paradise to throw himself down from the castle and choosed another Fedayeen to kill himself with a dagger. The Fedayeen unconditionally fulfilled this order. Because they believe that they can go to heaven again when they obey the order. Here is Hasan Sabbah who has conducted the bloodiest assassinations in history and sent his Fedayeen and concubines to the even Seljuks palace to kill state representatives. Here is the famous story of the Hashasin...

   

  It has been shown that the human being can easily abandon the most valuable relic that God has given him for his pleasures. This great weakness of humanity has been used by many terrorist organizations throughout history. This idea is the essence of the live bombing actions that caused the deaths of thousands of people. Reach heaven as soon as possible...That's why they attach bombs to their body and easily cause dozens of people to die. Years ago, I saw an interview with a 13-year-old boy who wanted to do live bomb action but was caught without success. The kid's response to the reporter was creepy. 'This time it didn't happen, when I get out of this prison, I will try again and I will go to my paradise.

  Terrorist organizations do not allow the welfare levels of societies which have potential targets to rise, abuse the past traumas and from childhood impose the idea that individuals who die in line with the organization's ambitions will go to heaven. In countries where terror is intense, the welfare level of the people is low and terrorist organizations do not allow people to thrive and live in a peaceful environment.  Young individuals have limited dreams and imagery and are far from normal people's ideas. For this reason, they can easily give up their individual identity and adapt their organizational identity. At this point, the purpose of states must be to keep the social and economic level of the people at the highest level and to ensure that individuals feel valuable. Children who feel self-esteem and who can dream about the future do not give up easily from their individual identities.
