The Knights Templar in the Middle East: the Hidden History of the Islamic Origins of Free Masonry

The Knights Templar in the Middle East: the Hidden History of the Islamic Origins of Free Masonry

For the first time ever, a source from within reveals that the roots of the Knights Templar, and thus those of Freemasonry, were actually more deeply linked to Islam than to Christianity. Grand Master Prince Michael writes with sterling scholarship, making full use of his access to libraries of the secret orders of which he is a member. The book delves deep to examine the true roots of this worldwide society, revealing both historical events from Europe to the Middle East and the author's own deeply personal, perilous journey to research and expose this hidden history. Going against the accepted history of the Freemason society as evolved from a remnant of Knights Templar who settled in Scotland, this book takes readers much farther back to its historical scriptural land, based in Western Arabia rather than Palestine.--From publisher description.
