well, the muslim boys by strict interpretation of the quran can not pledge allegiance to anyone but Allah...in the quran the muslims pledged loyality with a king who they then fought for and killed his enemies so the king decided to change to a muslim nation which is their only acceptable outcome
just to save the sake of argument...if a non muslim boy joins this troop that is muslim which pledge does he say?
honor isn't a bad thing the question is would it be a lie if they pledged allegiance knowing they never plan on going that far
the reason they can't pledge allegiance is the quran sets out that the Prophet Mohammed has the rightful inheritance to all kingships and spiritual prophets from Abraham on down due to the disobedience of the Hebrews, Jews, Israelis, and Christians thus Jesus leaving no heir...his inheritance belongs to his brethren which would be the Ishmaelites (more on this later)
we are talking about boys here...who are getting enough pressure from their families and religious leaders...one has to do a delicate dance!!!
