Another question:
Freemasons claims their brotherhood is not a religion or substitute for one. However, Freemasonries uses a lot of Jewish and Christians Symbols and themes. As mentioned above the York rite is very Christian and uses the metaphor of Knight Templar, the oath to defend Christianity, etc...
Why so?
Moreover, the symbolism and themes and in particular what is related to Christian themes is incompatible with the Muslim creed and theology. Also, when referring to the Attributes of the "Creator", GOD, Those attributes are well know for any young Muslims and none of those attributes resemble those of the creations. For Muslims, it is forbidden to relate the attribute (or their meanings) of the creations to the Creator.
I have been asked why one decide to become a Freemason?
The explanation I got is that it should be more than just building a better person, more than just becoming a philanthropist. And, becoming a Freemason is like the membership of secret "power house". Whatever that means.

Re: Master Masons?
I guess what they teach is a secret like their meetings. No books available on the shelves.

Re: Master Masons?
Let me ask:
Why there are 2 rites? When the split if any happened, who are the shrines? I have heard about allied organizations? Who are those?
Why the york rites has to defend Christianity where the Scottish rite do not? Who is has the upper echelon in all those rites? Most likely there should be supreme figure over all the Masons.
One member above mentioned Aribia and El-Mina (means port in Arabic)? Who are those Shriners?
I have interest in Masonry, since one of my best friend became a Mason. He is highly educated and intelligent person. A very loyal friend that helped me a lot. What still a Mystery for me is all the Conspiracy theories floating around Masons.
And what is the relationship between Kinghts Templar who massacred hundreds of thousands in the Holy land a the time of crusaders and the York Rites? Are they the same organization under new name? Also, the new mass shooting in Oslao and most likely shooter is York Rite's Kinght or so he claims.
How one can better the good man when he resort to extreme violence (mass murder and terrorism)?
