No professor, they do not worship the same god that Christians do!

A Wheaton College professor announced on Facebook Thursday night that she will be wearing a hijab (Muslim head scarf) throughout her celebration of the Advent as a way of showing solidarity with Muslims.
Larycia Hawkins, a political science professor at the Wheaton, Illinois, evangelical higher education institution, explained on her Facebook page that she will be wearing a hijab to work, class, and church. She also vows to wear the hijab during her trip to Chicago and even when she goes on an airplane to return to her hometown for Christmas.
"I don't love my Muslim neighbor because s/he is American. I love my Muslim neighbor because s/he deserves love by virtue of her/his human dignity," Hawkins wrote. "I stand in human solidarity with my Muslim neighbor because we are formed of the same primordial clay, descendants of the same cradle of humankind — a cave in Sterkfontein, South Africa that I had the privilege to descend into to plumb the depths of our common humanity in 2014."
Hawkins, who has been on the Wheaton faculty since 2007, further asserted that not only are Muslims her neighbors but they also "worship the same God."
"I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book. And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God," Hawkins stated. "But as I tell my students, theoretical solidarity is not solidarity at all. Thus, beginning tonight, my solidarity has become embodied solidarity."
"As part of my Advent Worship, I will wear the hijab to work at Wheaton College, to play in Chi-town, in the airport and on the airplane to my home state that initiated one of the first anti-Sharia laws (read: unconstitutional and Islamophobic), and at church," she added.
Hawkins did not respond to requests from The Christian Post for comments by press time.
The Wheaton College professor further explained that she hopes she is not the only non-Muslim woman wearing a hijab this holiday season, as she desires to start a movement of women showing their solidarity for Muslims.
"I invite all women into the narrative that is embodied, hijab-wearing solidarity with our Muslim sisters — for whatever reason. A large scale movement of Women in Solidarity with Hijabs is my Christmas ‪#‎wish‬ this year," Hawkins continued. "Perhaps you are a Muslim who does not wear the veil normally. Perhaps you are an atheist or agnostic who finds religion silly or inexplicable. Perhaps you are a Catholic or Protestant Christian like me. Perhaps you already cover your head as part of your religious worship, but not a hijab."
Hawkins turned to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), where she has a friend on staff, for advice on whether it would be offensive to Muslims if a non-Muslim wears a hijab.
"I asked whether a non-Muslim wearing the hijab was haram (forbidden), patronizing, or otherwise offensive to Muslims. I was assured by my friends at CAIR-Chicago that they welcomed the gesture," she explained. "So please do not fear joining this embodied narrative of actual as opposed to theoretical unity; human solidarity as opposed to mere nationalistic, sentimentality."
“... most likely even if she converts she would immediately become a 5th class citizen in the eyes of her new master.
But chances are, she would be killed like the rest of us ...”
She would be a dhimmi at best in the eyes of her new owner, but being a committed leftist would likely invite death by stoning with the prerequisite multiple rapes.
Will she become a infidel sex slave? Genital mutilation? Not leave the house without a male relative? Quit her job? Be willing to become an honor killing victim for any transgression?
Come on woman - you need to show solidarity!
Dhimmi, or future radical?
She might be hoping to sold off as a wife.
Why doesnt she just cut her genitals out or give her 9 year old daughter to an imam for a temporary marriage. Why doesnt she just talk to a muslim single man and get herself stoned or honor killed.
Useful idiot.
Emphasis on idiot.
Wow. Is right! I thought showing bias was bigotry? I shall say MERRY CHRISTMAS in solidarity to the Messiah born this season. I will call it Christmas Tree, I will hang a true ADVENT WREATH on my door and swap it oiut on Christmas morning right after midnight mass. I will put a creche in the front yard ....
and I will pray for this woman’s conversion to the real God and for her soul’s salvation through Christ.
Yep. WOW! Ain’t she just special?
Hopefully churches that support this institution will weigh in on this.
If she were sincere she would adopt it all: not leaving the house without being accompanied by a male relative, gang rapes, mutilation, beatings, and so forth.
No professor, they do not worship the same god that Christians do!
I wonder what her reaction would be to a colleague announcing she’s wearing a large cross in solidarity with Christians persecuted by ISIS?
Not so cool, when your brothers, fathers and uncles are honor killing ya cause ya aint wearing it.
If she loves islam so much maybe she should convert. But give it some careful thought, professor, because islam is once-in-never-out, under penalty of death. And you husband can beat you whenever he wants. And yeah, get the clitorectomy too.
Fourteen-hundred years...
When the music stops, Larycia will be the first one gang-banged.
Ship her off to ISIS if she’s so in love with Islamist culture.
