Asalaamualikum "There is none worthy of worship but He, glorified be He: [Far is He] above that which they associate [with Him]" (Qur'an 9:31) Not equal are the owners of the fire and the owners of the Garden. The owners of the Garden, they are the victorious. [Quran 59:20] Allah knows best [who are] your enemies. Allah is sufficient as a Friend, and Allah is sufficient as a Helper. [4:45] Fudayl ibn Iyaad said: "Verily, if an action was done sincerely for the sake of Allah but was not correct, it will not be accepted by Allah. And if the action was correct but not done sincerely it will not be accepted until the act is sincere and correct. For it to be sincere, it has to be done for the sake of Allah, and in order for it to be correct, it has to agree to the sunnah." the Messenger of Allah pbuh says; whoever does not care about the affairs of the Muslims is not one of them.

Freemasonry was banned in Pakistan in 1972 by the then President Ali Bhutto. Laws were introduced into the country forbidding this society to meet and the buildings and artifacts were sequestered by the government. The old lodge building in Lahore is today government owned. As a result of this ban, all the lodges of the English and Scottish
MAJOR

constitutions were closed, and since 1972 there have been 'officially' no more masonic meetings in Pakistan.

Lately Pakistan has become the center of attention for the world freemasonry and the zionists ... Now, a washington based NGO International Center for Religion and Diplomacy (ICRD) has been assigned the objective of modernizing the syllabus for madrassahs in Pakistan, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Sudan, Indonesia and many other muslim countries. This NGO is funded mainly by THE GRAND
MAJOR

PRIORY OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR IN SCOTLAND, about which they brag about on their website "run by one of our Orders Knights". ICRD also receives financial support from The Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem and the State department. "U.S. PROGRAM SEEKS TO REFORM MADRASAHS IN Pakistan By Andrew Tully WASHINGTON, February 6, 2007 (RFE/RL) -- A major irritant in relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan has been the charge that many of Pakistan's Muslim religious schools, madrasahs, teach intolerance and help recruit young men to the Taliban, which has become a resurgent threat in Afghanistan. Madrasahs also have been blamed for making Al-Qaeda attractive to young Pakistanis. A U.S. think tank has been involved in an initiative to foster understanding between these schools and the West. On February 5, Douglas Johnston, the president and founder of the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy (ICRD), brought two Pakistani Muslim leaders to Washington to take part in a panel discussion of madrasah reform. Johnston said he and his colleagues decided nearly four years ago that it was time to address the issue of the Pakistani madrasahs. " Look how Pakistani madrassahs are welcoming these Knight Templars, these Freemasons and taking courses/training from them. Shame on our ignorance. http://www.icrd.org/projects.html

FREEMASON'S LODGE (Karachi) (1914) The Freemason's Lodge was originally built at the location of the present-day residential buildings of the Sindh Club. The 'Lodge Hope' (as it was called) had been founded in 1842 with the foundation

for a building being laid down by Charles Napier in 1845 when he gave it a land grant. However, when the earlier location was acquired by the Sindh Club in 1914, the Lodge was moved to its present location on Strachan Road. The new building, known as the 'New Temple', was built in 1914 at a cost of Rs. 60,000 and was known to the local native residents as the Jadu-ghar (Sorcery house). By 1927, there were eight other masonic lodges in the subcontinent, all of which held regular meetings. Architecturally, the building was modest in scale but was impressive nevertheless, because of its two-story front portico employing Ionic columns. There is no triangular pediment at the top, however, the flat roof is emphasized by a simple entablature with dentils and a mildly decorative parapet. The entrance portico is also the main stair hall, housing a grand timber staircase leading to the first floor. The ground floor has space for several offices while the main hall is located on the first floor. Several plaques in the stair hall record the names of members and their contributions to the original 'Lodge Hope'. Currently this building is occupied by the offices of the Sind Wildlife Fund, whereas the main hall is being used as a library for the National History Museum.

Sorry i had misunderstood the thread. I was talking about the old temples and historical sites. We need to preserve that.

I dont think so now we can have artificial temples or copycate ones. If at all we want to have something like beautifying the cities we need to have a good planned plantation.

Knights Templar were banned by a French King on Friday 13, 1312 after which they disappeared. Then hundreds of years later Freemasonry was started and to get additional credibility they linked themselves to the Knights Templar.

In fact America's founding fathers were almost all Freemasons and a lot of the ruling class in America and Britain are Freemasons.
