Are the Shriners a front for an Islamic illuminati group? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 11464075 Australia 06/21/2013 08:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No. Sorry. Quoting: Archaic Mason The Shriners do a lot for disabled children, more than most private groups. I know many, and none are islamic. And no, they are not associated with the "illuminati." So, their supposed oath, is a bit like the one attributed to the Jesuits? (i.e, totally fabricated?) The jesuits are the masonic branch of catholicism and their secret oath is not fabricated. |

But they didn't. you know why? because it is a totally toothless secret society patronized by delusional old farts...at the top... at the bottom, as you say, the foot soldiers, they are without doubt sincere and dedicated men whose aim is the betterment of society and helping the needy. even if the ceremonial thing is suspect and sinister looking, it is totally harmless. proof??? ok...No ONE can proffer any shred of evidence that any of these people have ever done anything wrong. secret societies have always existed thruout history...mystical, esoteric, what ever...but they have never amounted to nothing. conspiracy theorists proffer the argument that these people are so powerful that they control the governments.... again, no one can show any proof. are can you control a democratic government where all the hundreds of members are individual candidates? do you really think that all these candidates to elections are Illuminati's cronies?? finally, your fear of Islamic terrorism...yes, terrorism is a big issue in our time, but again, it cannot be addressed by reacting to the symptoms...it can only be addressed and eradicated by addressing the cause. and what is the cause??? is it the Islam religion? or is it the idiotic and arrogant british diplomatic act of artificially creating on a map the state of Israel, thus dispossessing Palestinians out of their homes and property? the artificial creation of Pakistan? the artificial creation of Kenya along topographical boundaries rather than tribal boundaries? the artificial creation of Kwuwait? dispossessing the 21st province of Irak? all the problems we have in the world today are the direct results and consequences of idiotic decisions taken by England decades ago.....and now the chickens have come home to roost.. and England herself is reaping the biggest penalty in it's own homeland... :) so don't stress about the Illuminati and the Freemasons...they pose absolutely no problem to our future wellbeing....on the contrary....they are a good and positive influence. by the way, there are more sinister secret cults and organizations within the Vatican than within the Freemasons. The Vatican has indeed influenced countries elections and introduced their puppet governments by manipulating the elections at individual churches grassroots levels with priests being ordered to preach and deliver political sermons to indoctrinate the masses how to vote. the Freemasons have never done anything like that. oh, I am not a freemason by the way:) :) |
Children of the Atom User ID: 20257839 United States 06/23/2013 04:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They deny any link to Islam, apart from a 'fun' theme, Quoting: K.Kool but many fundamentalist Christian groups claim they swear an oath on the Qur'an. They are high-level masons, that much is sure, but is their philanthropic frivolity a mask, behind which plots to keep the world enslaved take place? Sorry Hun but you are REALLY off the mark. As some background, whether or not this is inclusive to what you mention, I do not know for certainty. But this much IS certain. Shriners are not 'high-level' Masons. All Shriners are Masons but not all Masons are shriners. Shriners are refereed to as an auxiliary degree. Any Master Mason can become a Shriner. A Master Mason is a 3rd degree risen Mason. So it is very,VERY low in the food chain. Secondly, there is an interesting tie with the red Fez. Allegedly when the Moslem warriors invaded and killed Christians,they dipped their hats in their blood. That is the symbolism behind the red fez. |

Libertardism is a great example of this. As is the degradation of religion, in the public eye. And the rationalizing of economic decisions, so that the dignity of the individual, whoever he is, is debased, and morality is absent from political and corporate policies. I don't doubt that ideologies have helped them, but they have backed them up with action, of influence, if nothing direct...I think our slavery has come about through their political and financial machinations. Their 'grand architect' is a god of reason and logic, and to me it looks like the end design is pretty much the NWO us conspiranoids have envisioned for years. Since 9-11 the world has plunged into a pit, we are much more clearly in a master and slave state. Throughout history, they have indeed had their members close to the powerful, I don't see any reason why they would have given up. They have only gone more into the background.. or hidden plainly in sight, wearing red fez's, symbolizing shed Christian blood. |

There are retired old men whom raising money for the Shiners Hospitals is their life, some are in every single parade for their local chapter (the shriners are divided into different temples that are in different areas). all of them raise money for the hospitals, and no, they do not party with it. The main governing body in Tampa Flordia is VERY strict on it, all monies raised for the hospital MUST go into the hospital fund account and then they must remit it monthly to shriners international. They "partying" they do is using money from renting their building or from dues payments. Dues are what run the shriners so they can raise money. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a shriner whom aligns with islamics after 9/11, most are white men, our local chapter is completely white. We have accountants, gas station owners, lawyers, bankers, etc… Some of the most prominent members of society are shriners in our area.

Ok, I'm not saying your wrong about that because I don't know but if I'm not mistaken , didn't they rake in millions , like tens of millions at least until the 90s ? |

Quoting: geminilion I know they are high level Masons, I always thought it was weird that the bldg. reminded me of a mosque. Wanted to add...they had a big statue of a Shriner holding a child that I thought was creepy as hell, it sat in the middle of a man made lake in front of the structure. I know they raise money for children's hospitals, I had to wonder where they got all the money it must have taken to build such a big bldg. on a large parcel of land. Thanks for sharing this, a mosque like building sure would help to convince some Muslims that the Shriners' dedication to Allah is genuine.. shriners have adopted the Arabic theme just for fun. the "mosque like" building fits that theme...as does the red fez...introduced just for fun. shriners have the best children's hospitals in America. hence the statue holding up a child.

Kirk User ID: 50792560 United States 04/02/2014 09:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What is the red fez? After a man passes through the "Blue Lodge" or the first 3 degrees of Masonry and has achieved the status of Master Mason he can petition to become a member of the Shrine or the "Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine." Until 2000, one had to complete the Scottish Rite or York Rite degrees of Masonry to be eligible for Shrine membership, but now any Master Mason can join. One of the most distinguishing marks of a Shriner is the Fez hat that he wears. So named after the city of Fez, Morocco...which by the way has been the site of numerous documented massacres of both Jews and Christians by various Muslim conquerors. The Fez is a distinctly Muslim symbol and, at least indirectly, celebrates the Muslim conquest of the area. The emblem found on the fez is that of Muslim origin. It contains the Arabic pagan god symbols of the Crescent Moon and Star, originally the symbol of the Ottoman Empire, now an international symbol of Islam. The symbols are hung under a "scimitar" or an Arabic sword of war. This is the sword that has killed the "infidels" down through the ages under Muslim conquest. Situated in the middle of the moon symbol is the Sphinx. This represents the Great Sphinx of Egypt which has its roots thoroughly in ancient Egyptian paganism and demonic symbolism. The word Sphinx means "the strangler" or as it is more widely used in Arabic, "The Father of Terror." Perhaps this symbolizes that Allah truly is the "father of terror?" It is often reported on many Christian websites that the color red represents the blood of Christians and Jews spilled by the Muslim conquerors. I can find no hard facts to back this claim, but it is a fact that the FEZ is a Muslim symbol, invented in Fez, Morocco - the undisputed site of many Muslim atrocities leveled against Christians and Jews. The below excerpt about the Fez is FROM A SHRINER WEBSITE [link to www.amranshriners.us] Why Shriners wear a Fez. "The red fez with a black tassel, the Shrine's most distinctive symbol, has been handed down through the ages. It derives its name from the place where it was first manufactured -- the holy city of Fez, Morocco. The fez was chosen as part of the Shrine's Arabic theme, around which the color and pageantry of the Shrine are developed." D.S., The Shriner meets in a "TEMPLE" - most of which have distinctly Arabic names. They are often built to resemble a Mosque. He wears his fez with the Muslim symbols on it. He takes his oaths and says his prayers in the name of ALLAH. Many of his secret passwords and code phrases are in Arabic, which he is required to memorize in order to be in the "order". Candidates for induction into the Shriners are greeted by a High Priest, who says: �By the existence of Allah and the creed of Mohammed; by the legendary sanctity of our Tabernacle at Mecca, we greet you.� The inductees then swear on the Bible and the Koran, in the name of Mohammed, and invoke Masonry's usual gruesome penalties upon themselves: �I do hereby, upon this Bible, and on the mysterious legend of the Koran, and its dedication to the Mohammedan faith, promise and swear and vow � that I will never reveal any secret part or portion whatsoever of the ceremonies � and now upon this sacred book, by the sincerity of a Moslem's oath I here register this irrevocable vow � in willful violation whereof may I incur the fearful penalty of having my eyeballs pierced to the center with a three-edged blade, my feet flayed and I be forced to walk the hot sands upon the sterile shores of the Red Sea until the flaming sun shall strike me with livid plague, and may Allah, the god of Arab, Moslem and Mohammedan, the god of our fathers, support me to the entire fulfillment of the same. Amen. Amen. Amen." With this oath, Christians swear on the Koran, and declare Allah to be �the god of our fathers.� From the perspective of Christianity and Islam alike, Shriners take the name of God in vain, and mock both faiths. Excerpt from The Origins and Influence of Masonry by Lee Penn, SCP Journal Vol. 25:2-25:3 2001 P0 Box 4308, Berkeley, CA 94704 BTW the fez is red because it is dipped in infidel blood.
