Do any of you remember the Flash Airline crash and the Egyptian pilot Ashraf Hamid who was aboard when it crashed into the Red Sea killing all aboard? He was a member of the Freemasons in San Diego where there is a large muslim membership. That whole incident left more questions than answers. Made me wonder why they want to belong to that group which appears on it's face as being the opposite of what islam is.
Of course, since I didn't save the article entirely the link I saved is no longer available on Sign On San Diego's site. They were the only ones to bring that part of his life up. He had family in Canada, plus an ex wife who lives near me.
Here are the only links that are still good on that incident.

KS~~~do you remember this?
I sure do remember this. Let me do some searching as I did save some info about this. Be back in a bit!
Earlier on this thread I publicly renounced all the precepts of freemasonry as being ungodly. I am (was) a Master Mason and my wife was a member of The Order of the Eastern Star. One of the reasons I stopped attending my Lodge is the sudden influx right after 911 of middle easterners into the membership rolls. All that is required to join the Blue Lodge (lowest level of masonry) is a belief in a higher power. Allah is perfectly acceptable. Remember that Allah is just not another name for god. Allah is the name of another god. Islam is at the root of the highest levels of Free Masonry, the Shriners. How is that possible? See they give the equivalent of a MILLION DOLLARS a day to charity! They wear those funny little fezzes (red caps with a tassle) and drive funny little cars in those big parades.
I'm going to quote from a christian book: "Fast Facts on False Teachings" by Ron Carlson and Ed Decker, QUOTE BEGINS:
"The Fez itself is an example of the double meaning behind most of freemasonry's facade. Worn by every Shriner and even carried to the grave with pompous dignity, the history of the fez is both barbaric and anti-Christian. In the early eighth century, Muslim hordes overran the Moroccan city of Fez shouting 'There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet.' There they butchered the Christian community. These men women and children were slain because of their belief in Christ, all in the name of Allah, the same demon god to whom every shriner must bow in worship, with hands tied behind his back, proclaiming him the god of his fathers in the Shrine of initiation, at the altar of Obligation.
During the butchering of the people of Fez, the streets literally ran red with the blood of the martyred Christians. The Muslim murderers dipped their caps in the blood of their victims as a testimony to Allah. These bloodstained caps eventually were called fezzes and became a badge of honor for those who killed a Christian. The Shriners wear wear the same red fez today, with the islamic sword and crescent encrusted with jewels on the front." UNQUOTE
If you have ever seen the emblem on a Shriners car, it is the Muslim Sword called a SCIMITAR and a star above it. I don't understand how a professing Christian can take and hold the blood oaths that they do....but then I did the same thing, until I was led by the Lord to study and research (I found the above quoted book as part of my research) and discovered I had allied myself (as has my Father-in-Law as a 32nd Level Mason) with the very root of all evil.
