Violence and Torture in the Seljukid era

This research refers to an important aspect of the events which occurred in Seljukid era in Iran: violence, torture and hard killing. Seljukid who obtained to power from nomadism utilized lots of torture and violence and did not observe the religious rules in interacting and dealing with others because of their nomadic temperament and their non-civil origin. They, in fact, despite standing in traditionalist groups and so called orthodox in Academic researches, neither practiced the religious rules, nor regarded the rights of people. These hard killings, tortures and inhumane behaviors, of course, did not perform just by Seljuk king, but also the competing groups and other players in the political field of their era, like Ismaili devotees, committed such violent acts.
