"What links, did the Emir establish with the most influential French obedience? Well, in 2019, the French researcher Thierry Zarkone attempted to answer this question and to dissipate what he calls the “Abdelkader mystery,” and wrote a book available only in French entitled Le mystère Abd el-Kader, la franc-maçonnerie, la France et l’islam(Editions du Cerf, 2019, 352 pages).
In the book in question we find superabundant proof of Emir Abdelkader’s Masonic initiation on June 18, 1864, in Alexandria, in the lodge “The Pyramids of Egypt” which was directly under the patronage of the Grand Orient of France. The archives of this Masonic Obedience finally provided to Zarkone’s readers the evidence needed to finally nail down the origins of the secret alliance between the Muslim community and French Freemasonry, which will sadly, if not stopped, destroy Christianity in France, and destabilize the whole of Europe."
