Saturday, March 16, 2024 01:35 AM Dr. Khaled Hussein Mahmoud, Professor of History and Islamic Civilization, Head of the History Department at the Faculty of Arts, Ain Shams University, and responsible for the historical review of The Assassins seriesRegarding the “controversy” and “uproar” that arose over his comment on a post written by one of the professors of Islamic history – who is referred to as a leader in his field of specialization – about the historical errors contained in the first episodes of The Assassins series.
The statement that was published by Dr. Khaled Hassan Mahmoud on his personal page on the social networking site Facebook came: “Regarding the controversy and uproar that arose regarding my comment on a post written by one of the professors of Islamic history – who is referred to as Lebanon in his field of specialization – about the historical errors contained in the first episodes. from The Assassins seriesIn which he expressed his dissatisfaction with the waste of historical truth in favor of drama, then a number of male and female colleagues addressed this post with comments and interventions that directed harsh criticism – either directly or from a hidden party, wrapped in sharp language and a degree of emotion – to the historical review team, which required direct intervention to respond. In disclaimer, and to confirm that we have played our role to the fullest in the accurate historical review and correcting the errors contained in the series over the course of several months, whether or not to take these corrections is a matter up to the series’ work team in accordance with the dramatic vision, based on the fact that the work is “inspired by history.” .
Dr. Khaled Hussein added through his statement: “But it is truly unfortunate that some people misunderstood this comment, took it out of context, and some even exaggerated and promoted things that do not exist on the ground. Therefore, we affirm – as a historical review team – that this comment should not That it be taken out of its context, that some should not burden it more than it can bear, and that it should not be a reason for fishing in troubled waters.”
Dr. Khaled emphasized: “No matter how much controversy has been raised or will be raised about this series, we, as a historical review team, confirm that we have not accepted the task of historical review of it except because we are convinced of its importance because it seeks to achieve two important goals: the first is cognitive by introducing the viewer to one of the most important religious-political groups in history.” It is the group (the Assassins), about which controversy and controversy have been raised in the past and in the present, and about which history has been wasted for the sake of sectarian whims and political visions, which required a strenuous effort from all those in charge of the series to seek the truth as much as possible, which is what was evident in the thirty episodes of the series, which will undoubtedly not succeed. It is devoid of some errors, which open a wide environment for discussion, dialogue, and research, the exchange of ideas, the examination of opinions, and the transfer of experiences (throwing a stone in stagnant water).”
Dr. Khaled concluded his statement by saying: “As for the other purpose, it is primarily enlightening, aiming to highlight the danger of the phenomenon of (excommunication of the violator) (the legal approach to genocide), the scourge of which nations have tasted and suffered from throughout human history, as a result of the wrong understanding of the sacred text and its use and adaptation as required by interests.” And whims, which lead to the tearing apart of unity, the division of unity, the shedding of blood, and the arousal of hostility and hatred, instead of upholding the values of tolerance, coexistence, brotherhood, love and peace.”
