#bbcpm: There is no sign that the
#Belfast attack had any political motivation. Either way, though, the attacker will have been on drugs, undoubtedly at least including
#cannabis. The word “assassin” has the same root as “hashish”, the drug taken by the members of the Order of Assassins when they set out to murder the enemies of the Alamut state.
#VickrumDigwa and his family belong to the
#Akali-
#Nihang warrior order within
#Sikhism. Many members of that order reject the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee’s 2001 ban on shaheedi degh, their traditional drink to aid meditation and, interestingly, to make them fiercer in battle. Interestingly, because its base is cannabis. And now, this.
