Just a wildly uninformed guess: Just like any other person would sit in the East wearing a turban.How can a Muslum sit in the east wearing a turban?
Why do you ask?
BTW, in general, "Muslims" don't wear turbans. They are not required to wear any particular headgear. Perhaps you were thinking of members of the Sikh faith?
I am with JTM on this one, I also was under the impression (at least in Texas) that the hat has to have a full brim.
It is my understanding that Sikhs never wear any headgear on top of their turbans. If a Sikh Mason were to be elected Master of a Texas Lodge, I would hope that the Grand Master would grant dispensation for him to preside wearing his turban only.
Are you referring to Muslims or Sikhs?Another question, esotric work requires the word GOD, how would he get around this?

we get people trying every year. aka, someone making an amendment so that only the king james version of the bible can be used on the altar as the VSL. wait... what? not only is someone trying to make it so that we can't have other books on there, it has to be their specific version? :: sigh ::Excellent.
It's nice to know that, in this case at least, Masonic rules and regulations can't be used by some misguided brethren to exclude members of certain religions.

I'd be quite keen to hear just why someone, and a Freemason in particular, would feel the need to discriminate so. I have my suspicions, but I'd genuinely like the hear it from the horses... mouth.
