 In their Winter 2016 edition of their ''Crusader Magazine'', the organisation reported:
 :'We went to Hungary to counter the blatant pro-immigration propaganda spewed out daily by the Western media, portraying Hungary as "cruel" for closing their borders to the Islamic Invasion of Christendom.'
-:'The reality was truly shocking. We witnessed thousands of young Islamic fighters turning up at the border posts at Croatia, Serbia and Ukraine pretending to be innocent refugees. [..] [W]e identified many Al Qaeda, FSA and even ISIS terrorists trying to penetrate Europe through these border crossings.'

 The article added that 'thankfully', they were able to film the 'evidence' and disseminate their footage to news agencies without revealing their identities:
 :'We supplied credible evidence to news agencies that many of you have now seen but probably had no idea that it was the Knights Templar volunteers who shot and supplied much of the genuine footage coming out of Eastern Europe.'

 The KTI boasted their 'successful' mission to Syria in their Summer 2015 quarterly. A few delegates of the organisation managed to pass into Syria 'without anti security incidents' although their respective governments attempted to stop them. The main concern of the organisation is the 'protection' of Christians in the Middle East, which they are certain nwill only be guaranteed by a renewal of militant Christian faith. They wrote:
 :'Flying to Beirut, we met with key members of the Lebanese section of the [[Baath Party]] and the [[Syrian Social Nationalist Party]]. The next day we flew on to the Syrian coastal town of Latakia and then across the desert to Damascus. There we spent a hectic 48 hours meeting the leaders of the main Christian denominations, government ministers and leading political figures.' <ref name=magazine> [http://knightstemplarinternational.com/crusader-magazine/crusader-magazine-issue-2-spring-2015/ Crusader Magazine Issue 2], ''Knights Templar International'', accessed 09 December 2016. </ref>

 ===Bulgarian 'border patrols'===
 The organisation appears to have funded an armed Bulgarian militia to 'patrol' their border and prevent migrants from coming into the country by force <ref> [https://knightstemplarinternational.com/2016/11/bulgarian-border-patrols-truth/ Knights Templar International: BULGARIAN BORDER PATROLS – THE TRUTH], ''Knights Templar International'', accessed 08 December 2016. </ref>.

 On their website, their promotional video used to recruit new members states their ideology clearly: the organisation believes that Christendom and Western Civilisation are in mortal danger, and can only be saved 'by dedicated militancy in the demonic teeth of evil'. The video also explains their internal organisation and 'iron' hierarchy. The organisation seems to be only open to cisgender men. <ref> [https://knightstemplarinternational.com/2016/12/knight-templars-join-video/ Knight Templars – who we are and why YOU should join [video]], ''Editing Knights Templar International'', accessed 08 December 2016. </ref>
