What is the difference between the pillars in the Stoning of the Devil and the Three Pillars of Freemasonry?

Question

In the Stoning of the Devil ceremony in Islam the Devil is represented by three large pillars. Three pillars are also used in Freemasonry for instructional purposes. They seem to be a part of the structural arrangement of the Freemasonry temple. The Muslim Brotherhood appears to be another fraternal Masonic organization, connected with al Qaeda, Hamas and the Assassins, and ultimately with Sufism. How do Moslems reconcile this apparent inconsistency?

I am surprised that I have not been getting more responses to the question. Would it be a good idea to post it under another ctegory?

Answer 1

Interesting: now you (meaning Fundamentalist Christians, for that Freemasonry Watch site is one of the most Fundamentalist sites) are trying to tie Freemasonry with Fundamentalist Muslims. Nice try and great stretch but far from the truth.

Fact is, the Fundamentalist Muslims forbid their followers from entering the Lodge (becoming Freemasons) for the same reason that Fundamentalist Christians do: we accept as Brothers people of many different religions. We have Hindu, Buddhist, Wiccan, Lutheran, Catholic (as long as it is ok with THEM, we do not care) Brothers. The Freemasonry Watch is also, sad to say for them, upset that we have Brothers of all races.

Read the links below if you are truly interested in answers. Freemasonry does not recruit. And if you come to our door expecting this load of horse hockey, I am afraid you will be disappointed.

I am also putting a link to American Co-Masonry (Freemasonry that admits women and men as full members). That is my Order. I am a Master Mason in Lodges in Santa Cruz CA, Los Angeles CA and Larkspur CO.

Answer 2

The Commandments are policies to stay by utilising, and breaking them is seen a sin. they are Christian yet lots of them are additionally policies in Judaism and Islam. The Beatitudes at the instant are not policies yet are the type to locate authentic happiness, by utilising being meek, style, and so on. The 5 Pillars are Islam are issues that one does to be seen a real Muslim: speedy for the time of Ramadan, supply alms to the undesirable, circulate to Mecca, pray 5 circumstances an afternoon, and have faith that there is one God and Mohammad is his prophet. So it is summarized as: the Commandments are policies for Christians, the Beatitudes are effective advice for Christians, and the 5 Pillars are responsibilities for Muslims.
