Here's the best thing that's ever happened to the Girl Scouts and their merry band of lesbian tree-huggers:

A devout Muslim, Lallia Allali was drawn to the Girl Scouts because it shares many of the values of her religion, such as an emphasis on moral character, service and charity.
That's why about two years ago, Allali founded three Muslim Girl Scout troops at the Islamic Center of San Diego, the largest mosque in San Diego County, where her husband is the imam.
“In Girl Scouts, it teaches you to be confident. In Islam, it says you should be confident and never give up,” said Layla Elmi, 10, who attends school at the Islamic Center. “You can be friends with people of any skin color or religion. In Islam, it's the same thing.”
The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have for years been reaching out to Muslims and other religious groups, working with them to offer patches or medals tailored to their faiths. The Girl Scouts has made it known that the word “God” in its oath can be substituted with Allah (God in Arabic) or other words to fit one's beliefs.
“The Girl Scouts appreciates diversity. That's very important. It's important to teach our girls to accept our diversity, our differences,” said Allali, mother of three daughters, one a Brownie.
Muslim Girl Scout troops have formed in Phoenix, Nashville, Washington, D.C., and Santa Clara, but the organization does not track how many exist. The Islamic Committee on Girl Scouting in Connecticut estimates almost 1,000 Muslim girls participate in scouting. The Boy Scouts of America has counted nearly 2,000 Muslim Boy Scouts in 104 units affiliated with mosques and Islamic schools.
The Muslim troops, in some ways, serve as goodwill ambassadors for their religion and people. They reach out to peers who might have little or no understanding of Islam and whose exposure to it comes from television images of terrorism and Muslim extremists.
A Muslim Girl Scout troop from Santa Clara was featured in an ad campaign, “We're Americans and We're Muslims,” sponsored by the Council on American-Islamic Relations. A picture of smiling Muslim troop members from a recent multicultural fair at the Islamic Center adorns the 2005 annual report of the Girl Scouts' San Diego-Imperial Council.
During the opening ceremony of the February multicultural fair, Muslim Girl Scouts wearing head scarves linked hands with girls in jeans and T-shirts to make a big circle.
Together, they sang “It's a Small World” and recited the Girl Scout Promise. Later they visited one another's booths and sampled ethnic food. Some had their names written in Arabic and got their hands painted with intricate henna designs.
Non-Muslim guests were won over by the hospitality of their hosts.
“They are people instead of something you read about in newspapers,” said Megan Alcock, 15, who lives within a short distance of the Islamic Center and only recently became aware of its existence. “It's just a couple of people who make the image bad for everyone,” said Ari Schechter, 15, who came with Alcock. “These people I've seen and met are really nice people.”
Assimilation factor Throughout history, minorities have sought out scouting to help them integrate into American society. “When you get into the more ethnic churches, then assimilation becomes more predominant as a motivation” to join the scouts, said Donald York, director of the relationship division for the Boy Scouts.
Immigrant parents, he said, want their children “to learn American ways and associate with other American citizens.”
In the 1920s and 1930s, large numbers of Jews enrolled their children in the Boy Scouts. In recent years, Armenian youths on the East and West coasts have embraced scouting on a large scale.
Like the Muslim troops in Clairemont, ethnic groups that form their own troops often combine standard scouting activities with cultural and religious activities that help their youngsters preserve their heritage.
The spiritual principals of Islam are a big part of Muslim troops. Their leaders try to reinforce values taught in scouting by citing relevant verses from the Koran.
Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world – about 80,000 to 100,000 Muslims call San Diego County home, and 6 million to 7 million followers live in the United States.
But it's also one of the least understood religions, according to a poll conducted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations in 2005. One in four Americans associates Islam with hatred and violence, and almost 60 percent say they know little or nothing about Islam.
Muslim leaders formed the National Islamic Committee on Scouting in 1982, after noticing there were no Muslim religious emblems in a well-established program that encourages youths to be stronger in their faith. The religious emblems program also includes Buddhists, Jews and others.
The Islamic Committee on Girl Scouting, which coordinates separate religious awards, has also been around for some two decades, as part of a larger faith-based recognition program sanctioned by Girl Scouts.
In 1993, Girl Scouts decided that the word “God” in its pledge could be substituted.
“We felt it's important girls can substitute the word 'God' with whatever is comfortable to them or their families,” Girl Scouts spokeswoman Marion Swan said. “We are very proud of the fact we are a very inclusive organization.”
The Clairemont-based Muslim Scouts are ardent advocates of tolerance, keenly aware that their acceptance of others is crucial to others accepting them.
“Even if you have different religions, you can be friends,” said Medeeha Khan, 9.
That GS Promise and Law has already been re-written privately by the jihadis. When there are enough jihadis in the GS they will change it to look a little something like this:
Girl Scout Promise and Sharia
The Girl Scout Promise and Sharia are shared only by every Muslim member of Girl Scouting.
The Girl Scout Promise is the way Muslim Girl Scouts agree to act every day toward one another but not to infidels, and the Sharia outlines the only way to act towards one another and promote jihad to the Dar al-Harb (infidel world).
The Muslim Girl Scout Promise
On my honor (slay me if I lose it), I will try:
To serve Allah* and my Umma,
To help Muslim people only at all times,
And to live by the Muslim Girl Scout Sharia.
The Muslim Girl Scout Sharia
I will do my best to be
dishonest and unfair,
unfriendly and unhelpful,
inconsiderate and uncaring,
spineless and weak, and
responsible for what I say and do
by being allowed to be beaten and/or killed,
and to respect myself and others
by being allowed to be beaten and/or killled,
respect authority
or face being beaten and/or killed,
use resources wisely
or face being beaten and/or killed,
make the world a better place at the cost of my own life by being beaten and/or killed,
and be a sister to every Muslim Girl Scout
who should be beaten and/or killed if she does not follow the Sharia.
* The word "Allah" can NOT be interpreted in a number of ways, regardless of one's spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Muslim Girl Scout Promise, it is NOT okay to replace the word "Allah" with whatever word your spiritual beliefs dictate. Any other name will NOT be tolerated and punishable by death. There is only one Allah and One Prophet, Mohammed, peace be upon him.
"Does this mean that Girl Scout cookie sales will now be used to fund terrorism?"
BINGO!
"The suicide bomber merit badge is the last one you earn."
And where will they train? At former jihadi terrorist training camps turned Muslim Girl and Boy Scout campgrounds.
Instead of learning knot tying the jihadi scouts will learn improvised explosives manufacturing.
Anyown have a list of things you can learn at a Muslim Girl Scout or Boy Scout campground (formerly jihadi terrorist training camps)?
It took all of three sentences before I found the first lie. The Koran clearly states that Muslims may not be friends with infidels, but they may be civil until their numbers are sufficient to dominate them.
I'm having a hard time keeping a straight face as I type this. I see nothing in the Girl Scouts that is remotely synonymous with the ROP. The Girl Scouts don't teach girls to be subservient punching bag baby factories for insane, Islamic, murdering, males!!!
Soylent Samoas
heh heh. Good one.
Now Muslims have invaded girl scouts, telling their outragous lies to our young girls. Islam does NOT say you can be 'friends' with non- muslims.
Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends.”
Qur’an 72:15“The disbelievers are the firewood of hell.”
Qur’an 66:9 “ Strive hard against the unbelieving Infidels and the Hypocrites; be severe against them. Their abode is Hell, an evil resort.”
Qur’an 60:1 “Believers, take not my enemies and yours as allies, offering them love, even though they have rejected the truth that has come to you, and have driven out the Prophet and you because you believe in Allah! If you have come out to struggle [fight jihad] in My Cause, and to seek My Pleasure, (take them not as friends), holding secret converse of love with them: for I am aware of all you conceal. And any of you that does this has strayed from the Straight Path. If they were to get the better of you, they would be your foes, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you with evil (designs).”
Qur’an 60:5 “We reject you. Hostility and hate have come between us forever, unless you believe in Allah only.’”
Qur’an 9:28“Believers, truly the pagan disbelievers are unclean.”
Qur’an 9:33 “He has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the Religion of Truth (Islam) to make it superior over all religions, even though the disbelievers detest (it).”
Ishaq:262 “Some Muslims remained friends with the Jews, so Allah sent down a Qur’an forbidding them to take Jews as friends. From their mouths hatred has already shown itself and what they conceal is worse.”
Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends. They are but friends and protectors to each other.”
From the book of Nathan " When a muslims lips move, they are lying.
That is the problem. Is the resistance gaining any ground?
Here's the best thing that's ever happened to the Girl Scouts and their merry band of lesbian tree-huggers:
Maybe they can talk about sexual mutilation, daily savage beatings, threats of death....
The terrorists that flew into the Pentagon lived in San Diego and that same center was the one they used.
I got one on my hands several years ago in Morocco. I just loved it.
I will do my best to be
dishonest and unfair,
unfriendly and unhelpful,
inconsiderate and uncaring,
spineless and weak, and
responsible for what I say and do
by being allowed to be beaten and/or killed[...]
There's nothing like calling little girls "spineless and weak", is there?
English isn't your first language, is it?
Dhimmi.
/sarc
Women/girls are the spiritual giants and the heart and soul of any culture and Islam wants them weak and spineless - not me.
So how about those girls in the article?
