No. The Knights of Templar, which I think you mean Knights Templar were a European, predominantly French military-religious organization tasked with the protection of pilgrims in the Holy Land during the Crusades.There are conspiracies upon conspiracies surrounding the organization, its existence, and termination. As such, be careful what you take for truth...especially anything written by Dan Brown.
No, the Templar Knights were a Catholic military order founded in the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1119 during the Crusades. They were not specifically from Turkey, but they did have a presence in the region as part of their mission to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land.
A clue to the beliefs of the Knights Templar could be found by looking at their organization's name: Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon. They are Christians, and, as such, believe that what one sows on earth will be reaped after one crosses over. Our friends at Wikipedia have a few facts on hand, and the link is provided.
No, that is not a true statement.
The only relation between the Knights Templar and the Knights of Columbus are that both organizations are/were approved by the Catholic church, members must be Catholic, and they both use the word Knight. There are no organizations that can legitimately claim the heritage through ancestry to the original order. The order was disband by the church. The Order of the Knights of Malta are the closest in relation and other organizations with the titles of the Knights Templar only do so out of honour and respect.
