The most interesting thing I read about the assassin's motives was the quotation from Maimonides, who said that any Jew who gave away land belonging to Israel should be killed.

Maimonides is one of the treasures of the Talmud, is he not? Has orthodox Judaism rejected this teaching? Can they point fingers at Islam for not rejecting the similarly inflammatory teachings of Mohammed's paladins? (Not that there's anywhere near as much bloodthirstiness in Judaism as there is in Islam, needless to say... but still...)
