When asked about the Ismaili association to the infamous "assassin" myths, Imam Shah Karim al-Husayni Aga Khan IV responds: "I think first of all, it’s important to comment on the fact that the Ismaili community is very pluralist. But there are things that have been said and written which were just not very correct…." For a book that soundly DEBUNKS the polemical assassin mythology, read Farhad Daftary's seminal work The Assassin Legends: http://www.amazon.com/The-Assassin-Legends-Myths-Ismailis/dp/1850439508 ZDF (Enterprises) Interview (2nd) for the documentary ‘Islam and the West’, ‘Morgenland’ (‘Orient’) (Germany), 30 May 2009 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAJIaOMIpWs http://www.nanowisdoms.org/nwblog/9266 #Ismailis #Ismailism #AgaKhan #AhlAlBayt #ProudIsmaili #SpiritualChildren #HazarImam #SpiritualFather #SpiritualMother #ShahPir #Blessed #Faith #Love4Imam #Imam #Imamat #IsmailiPride #LessonsInIsmailism #DidYouKnow #OneJamat #DoTheResearch #Daftary #AssassinLegends #Mythology #ReadOriginalSources Please visit www.ismailignosis.com or ask.ismailignosis.com or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/IsmailiGnosis for more gems about Mawlana Hazar Imam, the Imamat, and Ismaili history and philosophy.
