Freemasonry is controlled by Jewish leaders and descendants of the Knights Templar

Sameh Abu Arayes, political activist known for his support of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, wrote on his Facebook page "Freemasonry is controlled by Jewish leaders and descendants of the Knights Templar who inherited the secrets of the Pharaonic civilization, they are supporters of the Jerusalem Temple, the Hebrew name for temple is Beit Hamikdash"

"They are behind the conspiracies against Egypt since January 25, 2011 and up until now, they worship Satan and consider him God and call him Lucifer, meaning light-bringer or bringer of dawn, they consider him to be a symbol of wisdom and freedom to humanity, they revere him by performing certain rituals asking for his assistance to achieve their goal of world domination" (Mar.16, 2014)
