The Shriners DO NOT swear on the Koran and they do not plot world domination…they can leave that for the liberals whom work in washington dc. they don't swear on anything like that, they take an oath and it is nothing like what K.Kool says.

You cannot believe everything you see on TV, most (99%) of Shriners are good caring people whom would do anything for another mason/shriner.

And K. Kool, the rules of Free Mason would prohibit any sharing any details on it with anyone whom is not another master mason. The same rules apply to the Shriners.

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.

Perhaps you should do some research as to how many US presidents were Masons, most all of the founding father were, and most presidents in the 18-20th centuries were.

I don't think many other of your charities you don't have an issue with have been providing free specialized healthcare for all children for the past 87 years. While they may accept insurance now, they still provide it completely FREE to the parents of the child, no copays, no coinsurance.PERIOD!

Our local chapter alone donated $1.5 MILLION to the hospital last year.
