I guess the Muslim student is so shaky in his faith that merely being present in a Baptist church would cause him to immediately convert.

Do you know a lot of Baptists who would go to graduation were it held in a mosque, and if not, would you suggest that it is due to the shakiness of their faith?

If I lived in an overwhelmingly Muslim country, yes, I would expect such things. I would expect many gatherings to be held in such an accomodating building. As long as they didn't try to make me BE Muslim while I was there, I'd have no problem with it.

No, but then most Baptists wouldn't consider it a violation of their religous freedom either. It is just a building. This muslim can still worship the moon good till the cows come home.

There is nothing in the tenets of the Baptist teaching that would forbid someone from participating in a public school graduation ceremony that happened to be conducted in a mosque. It would be an individual choice not to do so.
