The islamic traditions describe a loose clothing that was tied around the crusaders necks and hanging over their chests with a simple of cross on it...thus, the Shia scholars associate the modern ties with these of crusaders.
Generally, the sunni scholars though not making it haram don't wear it
As for the sunni islamists they don't wear it, most of al ikhwan also don't wear it like the ex hamas pm ismail heniya, ex president morsi, khalid mashal.
There are some ikhwan sections who are known as al yasaar al islami(left islamists) who wear it like al turabi, al ganouchi, arbakan, tayyab urdagan, tariq ramadan...
Its not surprising actually as the american and westren military and official simples have also a christian roots.
