Wheaton College, a prominent evangelical school in Illinois, has placed a professor on administrative leave after she posted on Facebook that Muslims and Christians “worship the same God.”

The official school statement Tuesday about associate professor of political science Larycia Hawkins’s suspension said Wheaton professors should “engage in and speak about public issues in ways that faithfully represent the College’s evangelical Statement of Faith.”

Following a protest and sit-in of about 100 people Wednesday afternoon on campus, President Philip Ryken and later Provost Stanton Jones said they would not be lifting the suspension. It wasn’t clear how long Hawkins was suspended for, but some of the student leaders who had been involved in talks with administrators said it was through the spring semester.

The school’s communications office on Wednesday declined comment to the Post.

Protesters chanted “Reinstate Doc Hawk,” “We love Wheaton!” and some evangelical women wore hijabs in solidarity.

Absolutely not. Read what their ‘prophet’ has to say. That’s NOT the same God.

* Do Muslims worship Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior?

No?

Then Muslims and Christians do NOT worship the same god.

* Do Muslims pray for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit?

No?

Then Muslims and Christians do NOT worship the same god.

In the imaginations of liberals maybe. Everyone else who can still think knows they do not.

Wheaton, kept their traditions and acted correct. Laurels and applause to them for bucking the PC crap in the media.

No

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

Muslims are the true Satan worshipers, its not those attention seeking fools in groups like the “church of satan”

So silly to think the same deity is worshipped when one group is commanded by their deity to enslave, maim, or kill the other. Common sense ... not the liberal mind's strong suit.

Mohammed’s bootleg bible acknowledges the existence of Jesus Christ and denies His divinity. They can’t both be right.

Mohammed was another crackpot cultist. Should Charles Manson and David Koresh also both be considered ‘prophets’ and their rantings respected to show tolerance and diversity?

They certainly worship one who in word and deed was against Christ and led the flock astray for many generations.

One of the persistent myths that is finally being thoroughly debunked is that you have to be smart to teach in college. It’s increasingly clear that intelligence is not only not a requirement, it may not even be beneficiary.

Not even. Islam is the cult of never ending war. After a few thousand years of judaism, and six hundred of christianity preaching higher values, the sand choked bedouin said ‘screw it’, we’re going over to the dark side. Rape, pillage, and murder is codified in their book, with a long and distinguished record of just that, and let no religious ‘academic’ tell you otherwise.
