They are getting this from one photo where he is wearing a Masonic apron. I only glanced at it for a few seconds before it was pulled (probably copyright) but something that was suspect was I seem to recall it was a Worshipful Master apron and he seems very young. It is possible but Master Masons who have also been officers in their lodge take many years to achieve.
Many Freemasons in Europe are very different than Brothers you would find in the US. Some European lodges are very involved in politics while we don’t discuss politics at all in US lodges (discussion of politics and religion is verboten).
Either way, these are not the actions of a true Mason, but deranged nuts can be found in all walks of life and in all groups.
But, what I’m getting at....could the Islamists be using this guy for the purpose of the link I posted? Are they trying to use the guys as “Masons = Zionist Plot”? I know that Bin Laden was waxing lyrical about ‘environmentalism’ a few months before his death.
There are a couple of conspiracy forums on the web that are viciously Anti-Semitic and constantly promote hatred of the Free Masons. Perhaps Jihadis have infiltrated? Heck, I know....anything’s possible.
Not true for the euro masons who are the main active ones in that world region...that being said, they are mostly leftists (in the American sense of the word). In any case...I'm sure this man will be found to be a fraud..he gives all masons a bad name. There will be a lot of interested people on the left and right who will be looking to clear the organizations name of this monster.
