It has been a long while since any new information has been posted on this site.  The recent murders in Oslo, as well as the news that members of a "Templar" drug cartel in Mexico had been arrested, are events that I felt needed a response.  It should go without saying that neither of these stories has anything to do with the REAL Templar Order, nor do we have any connection to the practices or ideaology of either.  Once again, as throughout history, the Templar name has been hijacked and sullied, by those wanting to identify with an ideal that they cannot, and will not, understand.

The criminal in Norway is not a Templar, nor is he a Christian.  I have waited a few weeks to respond, while investigators did thier jobs.  The man does not even truly believe in God, let alone Jesus Christ.  To my knowlege, he has never even had a knighthood conferred upon him by any Templar Order, legitimate or otherwise.  He knighted himself, in order to wage terrorism against innocents.  A true Templar does not murder innocents.  We protect them. 

A true Templar also does not engage in any activity that betrays or breaks the law of his land.  The drug-running cartel in Mexico using Templar symbols was simply that.  A gang of criminal terrorists using Templar identification to justify thier animalistic actions.  In both cases, these individuals would find themselves on the opposite end of a true Templar sword.  

The Sovereign Military Order of Christiian Knights Templar unilaterally condemns the actions of these individuals, and stands in prayer that these deviants will be brought to justice, tried for thier crimes against humanity, and receive due punishment under the law.
