As we all know different symbols mean different things to different people. Are we really supposed to waste time reading about the dollar bill or the double headed eagle again?2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book on link between Freemasonry; Islam; and EgyptBy ProblackI really enjoyed reading this book. I think I gain more respect for Freemasonry and Islam. At the same time I was able to see what many people feel is wrong about Masonry; which is secretiveness. However since this book has been written in 1988; Freemasonry has it exposed itself much more to the public. I also like the fact that the author quotes from both the bible and quran and shows were masonry agrees with the holy books.One comment I would have is that the author does not discuss the fact that Muslims in the US don't evagelize or expose their truths either. I have never had a Orthodox Muslim preach to me; so they could be accused of withholding truths the same way the Masons do. Nor do they hand out Qurans the way Christians have handed out the bible. Yet Muhammad did command them to spread the message. The only Muslims I know that preach Islam is the Nation of Islam and they are not accepted as real Muslims by most people.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great read. Unique Quality Insight and Perspective.By Little MouseA much needed POC perspective and informing about true Islam and it's relationship to Egypt and contemporary co-opts without elitist sentiments and ego driven intentions. I'm an Meso-American centric spiritualist and I found this read very enlightening. Definitely a quality supplement to my spiritual understandings of the world.
