I just don't get the correlation. The apparent concern is what you mentioned among groups of faith and non-adherents of X religion gaining leadership positions in those groups. (i.e., a Christian becomes president of Islamic student group).

I just don't get it.

Doesn't it make you wonder about a group if an organization that worries about this then ELECTS one who doesn't reflect their choice?

EXACTLY! It doesn't make sense. I also think that a group that is worried about this is going to stick their necks out to make one who is not of their faith to feel super welcome, much less elect them to any office.
