The Ismaili's call themselves Muslim bu most Muslim would say they're heretic. They don't seem to discuss their found Hasan ibn Sabah much either.
Strange? IDK but that it would be really strange if the Ismailis forgot or abandoned the the tactics and technology for Mind Control and social manipulation and economic exploitation which they developed and which made them the powerful and kept them safe for 200 years. Would they abandon that knowledge?
Below is the fortress of Alamut.
When the Assassins pissed of the Mongols the fortress was finally taken, (1256) but the vast majority of Assassins assassins were not there in HQ (about 100 km from Tehran) but they were everywhere else in the ME and reorganized to form the Ismail sect. As pioneers in the use of hypnotic induction, covert ops, illusion and terror for the purpose of social control, as allies and teachers of the Knights Templar; the Ismailis, or the Assassins as they were then known, were determination force in ME geopolitics for 300 years or so.
