If you have such reservations, how can you accept Muslim Freemasons?
Because I expect brothers to be mild in their practices and I see that actually happening. There are Christian brothers who state the Bible is true yet I don't see any of them stoning people who don't keep Kosher. Exactly where the limits are vary from brother to brother but combining depth of faith with Masonic lessons tends to make a man milder in how he reacts to others. I like to say that religion is good for the soul but because it feels good there's a temptation to overdose on it. The lessons of Masonry are very much a mellowing influence. When you want to say there should be more Masonry in men think about that. I say there are good reasons there should be more men in Masonry and this mellowing influence on religious practice is reason among many.
