The only thing the Scouts prohibit is openly gay or atheistic LEADERS – we’re trying to avoid becoming like the LA Unified School District.
Wait a minute – if we change, we could get unbelieveable pension plans and we couldn’t be fired!

When I was in college (sometime in the last century), I took a religious studies course to fulfill some distribution requirements. During the course, we had to read the Koran and discuss implications of its teachings and directions.
We came to the conclusion (as a class – which included some pretty free-thinking individuals) that the reason a lot of inmates in prison converted to islam is because islam glorified vicious behavior (probably very similar to acts that landed the inmates in prison to begin with) and it actually promoted the fact that Allah viewed such behavior as holy, if they did it in the name of islam. No doubt that Christianity threatens islam because we would punish the same behavior they glorify.
I am always surprised that otherwise educated people will make excuses for this 7th-century cult. I’m sure that, if the British authorities try to take down these posters, the Muslims will scream discrimination and/or hate crime and Hollywood idiots will support them.
