Muslim
No where in the game does it refer to Altair as a Muslim. It is implied that he is an atheist (or at least non religious) when talking to King Richard after he kills Robert de Sable. Richard says something such as "you may not believe in him [God], but he believes in you". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Clintville (talk)
- It "implies". You can't assume that he doesn't believe in God just from what someone says. He could be agnostic.
- And, as for the reference you added in an earlier edit... that was a webforum, which is not considered an encyclopedic reference in most cases. That webforum also directly quotes Wikipedia. We do not accept Wikipedia as a reference here because it is heavily biased towards Liberalism and Atheism. --ɹǝlƃǝız ɹǝdoʇsıɹɥɔ 14:26, 6 August 2009 (EDT)
- Yes, he could be agnostic, I was not claiming he was an atheist, simply that the game never says he is a Muslim, and that is the closest it comes to talking about his religion. I think evidence from the game should be shown to back up the claim that he was a Muslim, not the other way around. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Clintville (talk)
- Desmond Miles's ancestor, Altair, is an hashshashin. Hashshashin is a branch of Shiite Muslim. I believe that suffices as proof that Altair is indeed Muslim (not Orthodox). And congratulations! Because of you, all hopes of making any changes to the article have been locked. Thanks. --ɹǝlƃǝız ɹǝdoʇsıɹɥɔ 15:42, 6 August 2009 (EDT)
