If you look on wikipedia, they styled themselves in arabic fashion. However, they weren't founded by arabs.

Well, then the arabs got it from the Romans or Persians, and the Shriners got it from the Arabs. It's not a 2000 year old organization.

If you'll notice, the full name is "Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine". Even though, I suppose, they are neither arabic nor ancient.

fully immersed in faith..
judging by the tiny cars they drive in parades I think they must be descended from clowns......
The "Shriners" (Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine) are based loosely on an "Arabic" theme, but not Muslim.
In 2010 they changed their name to Shriners International...

Anyway, the guy who created the Shriners based it on a party which he attended held by an Arabic Diplomat. There was an elaborate "play" where the guests played a part and at the end they become members of a "mystic fraternity"... The guy liked the idea and elaborated on the idea creating the "Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine"...
Now they drive around in little cars at parades, fund hospitals, and drink like loons. Definitely not "Muslim" in origin...
