Yes and no, in a sense.

There are Muslim Masons; I used to know one. (He was Iranian, no less.)

That said, fundamentalist Islam does not consider Freemasonry acceptable, any more than (and for the same basic reasons as) strict Catholicism. The Iranian Masonic lodges were suppressed or disbanded following the rise of Khomeini, though I seem to recall that some of them exist “in exile” in other countries.

Much conspiracist literature presents a combination of Jewish and Masonic interests that portrays the two groups as acting in concert to control the world. The "Judeo-Masonic" conspiracy was a stock villain in Nazi propaganda, as well as in European authoritarian regimes. Even the Communists picked up this theme, in Stalin's last days and to some extent in the Brezhnev era, with fulminations against "cosmopolitans", a code word for Jews. The Nazis had connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, with Hitler admiring the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who was strongly anti-Zionist. Muslim radicals take "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" as an accurate historical document, much like the Nazis or the Romanian Iron Guard did.

Traditional Catholic, and for that matter conservative Protestant and Orthodox, opposition to Freemasonry is based upon the universalist implications of the movement, more so in the Grand Orient Lodge of France and its affiliates in Europe and Latin America than in Anglo-American Masonic lodges. These implications are that people can be justified by their good works, which would indicate no need for a Savior. Additionally, anticlericalism in historically Catholic nations like France, Italy, Spain, and Mexico was associated with Masons.

Islam is also a "good works" religion, so opposition to Grand Orient Masonic universalism would not be an issue.

Remember, many Iranians are not Arabs. Many are Caucasian.
