Islamist Extremists View Freemasons As The Enemy
NatlPost, 31 Mar 2011

As if it wasn’t enough that they want to blow up all the “Crusaders” and “Zionists,” now al-Qaeda has apparently chosen a new target: Freemasons.

A “secret” Canadian intelligence study newly-released to the National Post describes how Islamist conspiracy theorists have seen the enemy and it is freemasonry.

“Islamist extremists and the Freemasons” is the actual title of a Canadian Security Intelligence Service intelligence assessment distributed in December 2009. It says extremist ideologues have taken Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code and the Nicholas Cage film National Treasure as evidence of a conspiracy against Islam.

They have been telling youths that Freemasons are: anti-Muslim; have close ties to Israel; and have been conducting secret paramilitary operations in Europe.

While most rational thinkers can tell fact from fiction, CSIS warns that we should not have such high expectations for the cave-dwelling sages at al-Qaeda HQ.

“It is easy to dismiss belief in an all-powerful Freemasonry movement as akin to conspiracy theories prevalent on the Internet, fed by popular films and literature,” it says.

“It is important to underscore, however, that these theories are consistent with the Islamist extremist common narrative: in this light, the Freemasons are believed to be taking part in attacks against Islam.

“This portrayal can serve as a useful contribution to the radicalization progress….Freemasons are thus seen as another of ‘Islam’s enemies’ and their actions, real or not, used as justifications to respond with violence.”

Oh - shucky darn
 

Oh - shucky darn - twice targeted. An Infidel and a Mason.

Well thrice

An American also.

Conspriacy? Being a member of the Brotherhood, I can tell the cave-dwelling sages that you can't get 12 Masons to wear the same color socks.

What we need to do is get some of these Islamists to sit through a stated meeting and it will bore them to death. End of problem.

I'm ready for refreshment after finishing my most recent secret para-military operation.

My muslim brother in my lodge will get a kick out of this :cool:

Eastbound.

Sneaky Freemasons
 

I need to discuss this with the WM of my Lodge. Perhaps I can get some good TDY to The Holy Land.

Nothing like a good old fashioned conspiracy to keep the world all astir. :rolleyes:

And so it goes...

About the only conspiracy we deal in is what color tie the goat should wear for each initiate's ceremony. :lifter

That's pretty funny. I'm not sure what kind of attacks the guys at my lodge could conduct. They had damned well better have a handicapped ramp, coffee, and dinner, or we couldn't get anybody to go.
