More Liberal Madness!

[Darth Executor]

Muslims are progressive?

Worldwide, no, but in the West? Yeah, pretty much. Particularly in college. Most western muslims are liberals running away from the Allahu Akbars in their home countries.

I don't know what you're talking about. Do you understand that I didn't take a side in the issue?

Surre you didn't, you just said:

"That plus the fact that non-Evangelical groups don't seem to have a problem with compliance makes me think the issue isn't as it seems."

Gosh, why would a Christian group, who made it their mission to spread Christian principles, have an issue with non Christians among their leadership?

And why would other Christian groups not have an issue? That's my point.

Maybe they have different missions. Hillel, specifically cited in the article I linked, has this as their raison d'etre:

For nearly a century, Hillel’s network of dedicated student leaders, professionals and volunteers have encouraged generations of young adults to celebrate Jewish learning and living, pursue social justice (tikkun olam and tzedek) and connect to their peers and the global Jewish people.

All it takes is a knowledge of Judaism to be able to lead others in discovering Judaism and the social justice Hillel espouses. Hillel is not a religious organization. There is no indication that Judaism's rituals have to even be observed to be a leader. The InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is much more focused on the religious aspect of campus life:

The Purpose of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA is to establish and advance at colleges and universities witnessing communities of students and faculty who follow Jesus as Savior and Lord: growing in love for God, God's Word, God's people of every ethnicity and culture and God's purposes in the world.

Great, so that means Republicans can take over the Democrat groups at the college.

Or an all-white board of the college's Black Student Association...

There is a magnet school in Northern Virginia that has a white president of the Black Student Union. But the "diversity loving" NAACP education chair doesn't like it one bit:

“If you have a black-student union and the person who is over it is white . . . what does that say? The pool [of black students] is not that large there,” said Charisse Glassman, who chairs the Fairfax County NAACP’s education committee and has met with TJ officials to discuss ways to increase minority enrollment. “A white person cannot understand what black children are going though when they go to that school.”

Do you think that the Catholic, mainline Protestant, and Muslim groups have missions more like Hillel and less like the IVCF?

Since none were actually specifically cited, I don't know.

I use "spite" more than "madness" in these cases.
