U.S. — The Girl Scouts of America, in cooperation with the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, MI, unveiled a new Muslim badge girls could earn by getting married before the age of 8.
Because of the strict age requirement, the Muslim badge can only be earned by Daisies and Brownies. Other program levels are ineligible for the coveted new badge.
GSUSA President Telva McGruder said, "Islamophobia is a growing problem, and we want to do our part to teach our Girl Scouts about what it really means to be tolerant, which is why we will be offering a Muslim badge to any girl who, before the age of 8, finds a nice Muslim man to settle down with."
As a sort of consolation prize, older members can earn a less prestigious Islam badge for memorizing the Five Pillars of Islam and waging jihad. This is meant to help other girls feel included in the fight against Islamophobia, even if they are too old to get married and, therefore, worthless.
Some parents expressed concern over the new badge, calling it "really inappropriate." They have since been expelled from the organization.
At publishing time, the Girl Scouts announced they will no longer be offering the Muslim badge after all their married girls were forced to quit the organization by their new husbands.
I unfortunately think you’re right about what’s on the horizon, societally. And I also think you’re right, fortunately, about what’s on the horizon, spiritually. I did wander far, far off the path for years, and spent years trying to find it again. Had a surprise visit with Jesus a year or so ago (!!), and life is different —and much better— now.

You’re lucky. I have never been that blessed (yet)... but I live in hope and anticipation. I hold fast to what Jesus said about “those that endure until the end will be saved”. I take that to mean those that endure what’s coming, ie the end days, without losing their faith... will have salvation. Many will fall by the wayside though, as life gets harder and more scary. Many will chicken out and take ‘the Mark’ rather than endure what they’ll be threatened with. We already know what’s going to happen and we’re seeing glimmers and hints of that already.
