Wheaton College, an evangelical college in Illinois, had placed associate professor of political science Larycia Hawkins on administrative leave after she made a controversial theological statement on Facebook that Muslims and Christians worship the same God. The school has now begun the process to fire her due to an "impasse," it said in a statement released on Tuesday.
Hawkins, a tenured political science professor, posted on Facebook that she would wear a hijab during the Advent season in support of Muslims.
"I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book," Hawkins wrote on Facebook. "And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God."

Good! Anyone who really thinks the Satanic “god” of the Koran is in any way similar to the Biblical God — is either an ignorant fool or an agent of Satan himself — does not belong on any campus (and especially not at a Christian college!!(

Islam has encoded in its teachings- murder, lying, plunder, slavery, rape, warfare, and even terrorism as part of its official religious doctrine. Jesus said that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, and this is exactly what Islam has done from its beginning. No other religion so completely fits the description in the Bible of the beast and false prophet than Islam.
Islam is different from all the other religions that do not believe in Jesus, because Islam officially declares that Jesus is not the Son of God (Quran 4: 171; 18: 4-5), which is the Biblical definition of Antichrist: "Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son" (1 John 2: 22).
The spread of Islam has left a trail of blood, suffering, and destruction like no other ideology in world history. History, and even this present age, shows us that Islam is a very violent and fascist religion, full of hate for Christians and Jews. No one could invent a more evil cult.

She sounds about as Christian as BHO.
I’m glad to hear that Wheaton is sticking to its guns. I used to know the faculty there pretty well, and they were faithful to their principles, unlike many other “Christian” colleges. That was some time ago, but evidently they’re still on the right track.

"I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book," Hawkins wrote on Facebook. "And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God."That is a heretical statement, right there.
Wheaton did not vet her very well upon employment, or she changed her views after she started working there.
Islam does not believe Jesus is the Son of God, because God (Allah) can not have children.

Great picture of Islam! The dread moon god of the Nabataeans likes his brides young. He is Not the loving God of the Bible

The Quaran has as much in common with the Bible or the Torah as Dianetics has in common with Starship Troopers.

Because she’s a black woman pretending to be a Muslim.
Don’t you dare criticize this professor or you’re a racist!

She is right though, that the Pope said Islam and Christians/Jews worship the same God. The Pope too, is a heretic!
