I'm not sure if SupremeAssassin was referring to Islamic terrorists or calling true Templars of the series terrorists.
Nah, I mean, if you take a look at terrorism today, it's essentially what Templars do in the Assassin's Creed franchise. Now you might wonder how that'd make sense and that perhaps I am grasping at straws but terrorists and AC Templars are not so different. I am of course referring to Islamic terrorists, and if you did the research, in Islam, they indoctrinate young boys and girls to hate nonbelievers. What does this mean? Well, this means everyone who does not adhere to the Islamic faith. Likewise, Templars also "hate" nonbelievers, or in other words, they do not care for those who do not share their goals and their beliefs. Before the foundation of Abstergo Industries, the Templars were nothing more than destructive miscreants who held no respect for the freedom of others. Terrorists, like Templars, believe in some bigger picture, some higher purpose through violence. The Assassins also resort to violence, but their primary goal is to safeguard the freedom of humanity when it is most threatened. I have no doubt that if Assassins as in the AC universe, existed in our modern day and age, they would actively pursue these Islamic extremists and put them down. A terrorist is someone who insights terror, it does not matter the person's ethnicity or religion, and Templars have instigated terror in the series, many times. Ultimately, this is what I mean. It just so happens that our modern day terrorists are all adherents to the Islamic faith, which makes you wonder what's going on.
