quoting 2009 article on;
http://thegoateskids.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Freemasonry has a long and tortured history of critics who have attacked its secretive nature almost from its inception. The most likely explanations of the origins of Freemasonry can be traced to Scotland in the late 1500s, arising from the construction trade guilds that flourished there. Grand Lodges were established first in Scotland, Ireland, then England in the 1700s, later spreading throughout Europe.
Early in the summer of 1841, several Latter-day Saints who were Masons, including Lucius N. Scovil, a key figure in Nauvoo Freemasonry, asked Bodley Lodge No. 1, in Quincy, Illinois, to request that the Illinois Grand Lodge appoint certain individuals as officers of a Nauvoo lodge. Indicating that the persons named were unknown in Quincy as Masons, the lodge returned the letter with instructions for further action.
Less than a year later, Nauvoo had a lodge without the normal sponsorship. Grand Master Abraham Jonas (a Jewish Mason) apparently waived the rule and granted Nauvoo a "special dispensation" to organize. He also made Joseph Smith and his counselor, Sidney Rigdon, "Masons at sight," accelerating them to the third degree designation as "Master Masons" and waiving the normal waiting period between the degrees. Some believe that Jonas was willing to follow this course because he envisioned the growing Mormon vote supporting his own political ambitions. Such speculation is validated in the fact of the Church's expulsion from Missouri, largely because of their abolitionist views in opposition to those who favored the continuation of slavery in Missouri. As a large political voting bloc, the Mormons wielded influence at the polls. Although the action may have endeared Jonas to some Latter-day Saints, it antagonized other Masons. Joseph Smith had reason to expect that the Saints might benefit from the network of friendship and support normally associated with the fraternal organization, but instead, the creation of the Nauvoo Lodge only produced more friction.
The true origins of Freemasonry are shrouded, and cannot be completely verified, and here the similarities between Freemasonry and Mormonism radically depart when compared to Joseph Smith's own autobiographical history and assertions of divine revelation freely given since the early 1800s. It is highly unlikely that Freemasonry's origins can be accurately traced back to Solomon's Temple, as some have believed and purported, some critics using that supposition as the basis for their opposition to Freemasonry being anti-Islamic and favoring construction of the future Jewish Temple on the site of the Dome of the Rock.
"Many Islamic anti-Masonic arguments are closely tied to both Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism, though other criticisms are made such as linking Freemasonry to Dajjal. Some Muslim anti-Masons argue that Freemasonry promotes the interests of the Jews around the world and that one of its aims is to rebuild the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem after destroying the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In article 28 of its Covenant, Hamas states that Freemasonry, Rotary, and other similar groups 'work in the interest of Zionism and according to its instructions …' Many countries with a significant Muslim population do not allow Masonic establishments within their jurisdictions. However, countries such as Turkey and Morocco have established Grand Lodges, while in countries such as Malaysia and Lebanon there are District Grand Lodges operating under a warrant from an established Grand Lodge.
"There was a time when there existed a number of lodges in Iraq as early as 1919, when the first lodge under the UGLE was opened in Basra, and later on when the country was under British Mandate just after the First World War. However the position changed in July 1958 following the Revolution, with the abolition of the Monarchy and Iraq being declared a republic, under General Qasim. The licences permitting lodges to meet were rescinded and later laws were introduced banning any further meetings. This position was later reinforced under Saddam Hussein, the death penalty was 'prescribed' for those who "promote or acclaim Zionist principles, including freemasonry, or who associate [themselves] with Zionist organisations.' With the fall of the Hussein government following the US Invasion of Iraq, a number of lodges associated with military units of the UK and UK have met and continue to meet on military bases within Iraq. In 2007, Land Air and Sea Lodge, No. 1, was granted a charter by the Grand Lodge of New York for the benefit of US servicemen serving in Iraq. Whilst this lodge is now dark there are proposals to re-activate it."
One final note in passing. Nothing could be more repugnant to a modern radical Muslim extremist today than everything Sigma Chi Fraternity stands for, utilizing as it does nearly all the symbols of the Christian Crusades -- the White Cross, the motto "In Hoc Signo Vinces" (in this sign you will conquer), the white rose, the Norman Shield, the patron saint Constantine, and all the other reprehensible reminders of their defeat in earlier centuries.

Gonzaga University to Review Knights of Columbus’ Status (1532)
The vice president for student life at Gonzaga decided that the fraternal organization could not be recognized as a ‘student organization’ because the group is closed to women and non-Catholics.
by CARL BUNDERSON/CNA/EWTN NEWS 04/11/2013 Comments (6)
SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga University's president, Thayne McCulloh, will be reviewing the school’s Student Life Office decision that denied a Knights of Columbus' council application to be recognized as a “student club.”
On March 7, the university’s student-life division denied the council’s application for recognition as a “student organization,” according to an April 5 report by the Cardinal Newman Society. The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic charitable fraternal organization with 1.8 million members globally.
McCulloh stated April 6 that “Gonzaga honors and respects the purpose and good works of the Knights of Columbus, with which it has a long tradition and mutual collaboration at both local and state levels.”
He has chosen to review the decision and is expected to take 30-45 days doing so. The president will complete the review “as quickly as he can,” Gonzaga’s community-relations director, Mary Joan Hahn, said April 10.
The Knights of Columbus has a council at Gonzaga University, but it is not recognized as a “student club,” the school has clarified, after reports surfaced that it denied the council its application as such.
“The Knights of Columbus College Council is on campus and is supported by the university currently,” Hahn said.
“There are many ways for student groups to be present and active on campus,” she explained. “The initial decision pertained to recognition by the student-life division under its current process.”
“They haven’t been banned,” Hahn added.
Gonzaga said, “The Knights of Columbus College Council [12583] is already present within the student body and receives support from the administration.”
“Gonzaga University’s core Catholic and Jesuit identity recognizes, encourages and supports many student organizations that advance faith-related issues,” the school said, citing Gonzaga Right to Life and the Blessed John Paul II Fellowship.
Though the council currently exists, it is not recognized as a “student club” or a “student organization.” The decision not to grant the Knights' council recognition as a student group was based on the university’s current “club-recognition process.”
The Cardinal Newman Society posted excerpts from a letter from the vice president for student life at Gonzaga, Sue Weitz, saying that the Knights of Columbus could not be recognized as a “student organization” because the group is closed to women and to non-Catholics.
“These criteria are inconsistent with the policy and practice of student-organization recognition at Gonzaga University, as well as the university’s commitment to non-discrimination based on certain characteristics, one of which is religion.”
Weitz cited Gonzaga’s commitment to “non-discrimination and inclusivity” in her letter.
“To embrace the diversity and yet endorse a group based on faith exclusivity is a challenge that cannot be reconciled at this time. It is a decision about social justice, equity and the desire of the university to create and maintain an environment in which none are excluded.”
