The Rotarian Menace

This story was brought to my attention by Peter Marshall and I copied the article by Jonathan Schwarz, as it appears on the internet, as follows...

Some fundamentalist Muslims believe the Rotary Club is part of a conspiracy to control the world and conquer Islam. Jonathan Schwartz, who has written about the subject for Slate, tells what he has learned.

Muslim fundamentalists aren't shy about naming their enemies. They've identified Zionists and secularists as particular foes of Islam; picked out apostates, Americans, and Jews for scorn; disparaged "crusaders" and imperialists; and even-like conspiracists everywhere-warned against the Freemasons.
But Islamists have selected one enemy that's entirely baffling: Rotary clubs.
For instance, this appears in Article 17 of the Hamas charter:
Therefore, you can see [the enemies] making consistent efforts by way of publicity and movies, curriculi of education and culture, using as their intermediaries their craftsmen who are part of the various Zionist Organizations which take on all sorts of names and shapes such as: the Free Masons, Rotary Clubs, gangs of spies and the like. All of them are nests of saboteurs and sabotage.
