The Roshaniya
The Roshaniya--illuminated ones. There are actually references to this mystical cult going back through history to the House of Wisdom at Cairo. The major tenets of this cult were:
- the abolition of private property;
- the elimination of religion;
- the elimination of nation states;
- the belief that illumination emanated from the Supreme Being who desired a class of perfect men and women to carry out the organization and direction of the world;
- belief in a plan to reshape the social system of the world by first taking control of individual countries one by one, and
- the belief that after reaching the fourth degree one could communicate directly with the unknown supervisors who had imparted knowledge to initiates throughout the ages.
Wise men will again recognize the Brotherhood.
They may have been or may be members of the Christian or Jewish religions, but that is only to further their own ends. They give allegiance to no particular nation, although they have used nationalism to further their causes. Their only concern is to gain greater economic and political power. The ultimate objective of the group is, they are determined to win for themselves undisputed control of the wealth, natural resources, and manpower of the entire planet. They intend to turn the world into their conception of a totalitarian socialist state.
The Roshaniya also called themselves The Order. Initiates took an oath that absolved them of all allegiance except to the Order and stated,
"I bind myself to perpetual silence and unshaken loyalty and submission to the Order.... All humanity which cannot identify itself by our secret sign is our lawful prey."
