What in the oath or the law would preclude a Muslim from being a boy scout?
(or preclude a Boy Scout from being Muslim?)
(oath)
On my honor, I will do my best
to do my duty, to G-d and country
to obey the scout law, to help other people at all times
to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
(law)
A scout is:
trustworthy
loyal
helpful
friendly
courteous
kind
cheerful
thrifty
brave
clean
reverent.
It doesn't say a word about being a pre-millenial dispensational, young-earth, republican.
Indeed, the founder of the scouting movement - WD Boyce - personally underwrote the scouting movement --- PROVIDED they include all boys - regardless of "Color, Race, or Creed." (a set of standards that he struggled with, himself).
really...I didn't know you were a gay muslim liberal boy scout..ya learn something new everyday..keep typing away, your posts get better and better...not any truth to them, but funny!
Let me ask you guys something. Do you feel that Muslims are the only religion in our FREE country, with "liberty for all", that it is acceptable to ban from the US. If i am getting that wrong please advise because that is what I am getting from what you are saying. Please tell me if I am wrong and what you really think. Some muslims have a problem with our country but not all. Just like some people in the OWS movement are socialist but not all. And some of the Tea partiers are racist (I will give that can be subjective, but still) but not all TP are racist or whatever label you want to use.
Until there is solid proof that all Muslims are in the US to kill Americans, I won't accept this. The US flag to me is FREEDOM FOR ALL. And I would rather be killed by a terrorist than to give up freedoms for some. And I just don't see any terrorists doing anything right now in the US. It seems like the US is doing a pretty good job and there are mosques here. You guys are living back in 2001.
Personally all the Muslims I have worked and gone to school with seem like nice people with very traditional family values so I don't have a problem with them coming to America legally to improve their lot in life.
And the Boy Scouts have always been a world wide organization with a faith based background. My Catholic Church sponsors a troop. Islamic Boy Scouts are all right to me.

wayne, I agree with you, most of your personal attacks are not true, that's what makes them so darn funny :woo hoo:
