The thuggee philosophy is quite different from Islam. Thug's were similar to the Aztec religion -- the Devi (goddess) needs blood.

islam preaches more on "convert the infidel"

(”islam preaches more on “convert the infidel”)- by blood. Are you being directly, a liar or just stupid?

Yes, the two have considerable dissimilarities, but there are similarities as well.

In Thugee, the practitioners saw people as legitimate prey, they had no desire to convert them.

In Islam, people are to be given a chance to convert, but if they choose not to, they are legitimate prey.

The story of Thugee and its demise is a fascinating one. I think it would be more widely shown, except that it shows the British as accomplishing a positive thing.
