Muslim Girl Scouts

This is a pretty cool article about Muslim girls scouts in Minnesota... I thought it was pretty cool, so I thought I'd share.

Minnesota!

Minnesota has an odd proportion of women with pretty hijab.

“When you say you are a girl scout, they say, ‘Oh, my daughter is a girl scout, too,’ and then they don’t think of you as a person from another planet,” said Asma...

Hehehe, that's a wonderful quote. I think it's very important for Muslims to allow themselves to be amalgamated into the societies in which they live. Of course, Muslims should never do anything they believe goes against their faith but the vast majority of gestures such as this one pose no such problem.

I think it's really neat how they're able to offer (sanctioned, no less!) Muslim-specific merit badges.

Does anyone else find it odd that a lot of Muslims in America immigrated to the coldest states? :shrug:

It's probably why they moved amirite.

It's the same thing I figured when I wondered why most Arab Americans were Christian when most Arabs are Muslim.
