When did Muslims become assassins?
It is unclear what this question is asking about. If the question is asking about Muslim-associated violence. Muslims today are not more involved in assassinations then any other group. While Muslims are responsible for a higher percentage of terror incidents than their overall percentage, terrorism and assassinations are different and Muslims assassinate political/military/religious, etc. figures as commonly/often as Non-Muslims. If the question is asking about the historical Assassins, tThe Assassins were a historical sect of Shiite Islam (Nizari Ismailis) which controlled a state in the Middle East during the 11th-13th centuries. The majority of Muslims did not become Assassins and most other Muslim groups from the same period referred rather derisively to the Assassins. When Alamut, Iran (the capital of the Assassin Nizari Ismaili Kingdom) was captured by the Mongols in 1256, it effectively ended the Assassins.
