Think of it in other terms. I you were a member of a Muslim sorority, wouldn't you be kinda skeptical of a Christian woman looking to join your organization? The cultures are extremely different and the ability of the Christian woman to support the purpose of a Muslim organization would be in question. It doesn't have to be a personal affront. Even this example isn't adequate as a Christian could convert to Islam and understand the culture from the inside out. That can't ever happen with a white person who wants to join a black organization. He/she could never fully understand.
