Knights Templar of the Middle East: The Hidden History of the Islamic Origins of Freemasonry

by Michael James Alexander Stewart, Walid Amina Salhab

For the first time ever, a source from within reveals the shocking truth that the roots of the Knights Templar, and thus those of Freemasonry, were actually more deeply linked to Islam than to Christianity. The Knights Templar of the Middle East breaks new ground in this well-tilled sphere and is guaranteed to stir more fires of controversy than any other book to date on Freemasonry and Templars. 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, The Knights Templar of the Middle East takes readers much farther back to the true historical biblical land, based in Western Arabia rather than Palestine. The true secret of the Inner Circle of the Order of the Templars was such that, had they revealed it, the knowledge would have rocked the cradle of Christian and Judaic beliefs.

I read this book and enjoyed it. HRH Prince Michael was deported from Scotland, even though he was a naturalised citizen, because of this book telling the truth about the subject.

I first thought this history of the Templars was too personal an account of the author's own (real or imagined) history. However, the connections are there, though often tangentially. To ignore them is to ignore our own history.

Being my very first book on the topic, I found it difficult to read. I liked it a lot, though, as it provides great overview of how religions evolved and spread across Europe.
