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."

No big deal. She’s black. Many colleges will want to hire her. They have a quota to fill.
I’m sure the MSM will do their level best to make this headline news across the nation. Obama will then task AG Lynch with bringing charges against Wheaton administrators.
Ask any Muslim cabbie when they start proselytizing to you if we worship the same god. The answer would be a resounding “no”.
She shows up for a job interview wearing that Muslimah headbag and she’s in like Flynn.
I suppose I understand his upset.
Muslims have always claimed to be part of the same religion as Judaism or Christianity.
If you read the Koran, you will understand that if Islam and Christianity are part of the same religion, then Islam is Satanism.
Preventing that realization might be important to the evangelical responsible for the firing.
My bad. :-( followed by a bronx cheer)
>> she made a controversial theological statement... that Muslims and Christians worship the same God
That’s not controversial — it’s simply WRONG.
Billy Graham attended Wheaton College.
My friend and mentor, the late, great conservative Cong. Henry Hyde was from Du Page county.
Other famous alumni of the college are politicians Jim McDermott, Christine Todd Whitman, Dan Coates...alsoWes Craven, Hollywood horror film director and Todd Beamer, heroic passenger on fatal 9/11 United flight 93 that crashed in the cornfield (his last words..."Let's Roll!").

It is also like, Comparing The Koran to Torah is like Comparing the Star Wars Prequels to Blade Runner!
Just, No.
No matter how much it rips it off.
With all due respect to Pope Francis, if he actually believes Allah and Yehovah are the same, he's very much mistaken.
>> if Islam and Christianity are part of the same religion, then Islam is Satanism.
Yup. islam is a lie of Lucifer, who always craved the worship that rightfully belongs to GOD.
Lucifer demonized mohammed, and set himself up as ‘allah’.
islam is just another work of “that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world”.
Should have already been fired.
The University of Missouri would hire her in a second.
She could join Melissa Click in the communication department.
Because they could trot her out as a person of color to prove they are not racist and open to diversity and are open-minded and will even hire an unattractive female, etc. It is all a win, win, win, except they forgot to vet her on basic Christianity and intelligence. She is probably a Muslim.
Exactly.
The “Book” is the HOLY BIBLE and NOT the KORAN!
Jesus Christ is NOT Mohammed.
Yahweh is NOT Allah.
Koran teaches DEATH. Islam is DEATH riding the PALE HORSE.
Christ is LIFE.
probably?
My thoughts exactly, as PALE can be interpreted as Green - Islam's color.
That poor baby. I pray she becomes an 8-year-old widow.
Agreed fully. The
biblical God and Allah are total opposites
