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?

Alas, as noted upthread, (if there really is a real objection; I don't think there is) they likely view going into the church to be an endorsement of polytheism, and thus leading others astray --- nothing to do with their personal faith.

It's forbidden by Muslim law. It has to do with idolatry, especially if there is an image of God anywhere in the church. However, there should be some wiggle room if it is a plain church with no images of Jesus, God, etc.

Before going off on a Muslim over this, remember that a conservative Jew is also forbidden from entering, or even going close to, a church due to the idolatry issue.
