And she should not only have been suspended she should have been fired! As by saying this she is exhibits the inability to understand an elementary concept of God! And that is the God of the Bible in no way could be confused as Allah of Quran!
The one true God of the Bible is known by his attributes! And the attributes of God in the Bible are in direct opposition to the false god of Islam!
Many people fall into humanistic philosophical traps, such as Occam’s Razor to try and rationalize that the one true God of the Bible is the same as the false god, Allah of Islam! And they do this because they have already accepted the fallacy that the Bible is not clear and not the sole revelation of God to man! But is nothing more than one groups vague interpretation of who God is!
A tenured political science professor at Wheaton College, an evangelical university outside Chicago, has been suspended after she wrote in a Facebook post that Muslims and Christians worship the same God.
Dr. Larycia Hawkins wrote on the social media site on Dec. 10 that she was donning the hijab head scarf during the period of advent before Christmas as a sign of solidarity with Muslims. In her post she said “we worship the same God.”
After that statement drew criticism, the school said Hawkins was on administrative leave.
“In response to significant questions regarding the theological implications of statements that Associate Professor of Political Science Dr. Larycia Hawkins has made about the relationship of Christianity to Islam, Wheaton College has placed her on administrative leave, pending the full review to which she is entitled as a tenured faculty member,” said the statement, issued on Tuesday.
Wheaton College spokeswoman LaTonya Taylor did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for information about how long the suspension would last, how unusual it was and who would conduct the review. Hawkins also did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
The college said that when they participate in causes, faculty and staff must faithfully represent the school’s evangelical statement of faith.
On her Facebook page on Dec. 10, Hawkins said she would wear the hijab in solidarity with Muslim neighbors. “I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book.”
Hawkins, who has written on race, religion and American politics, said she had consulted with the local chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations, an advocacy group, to make sure that it would not be seen as offensive for a non-Muslim woman to wear the headscarf.
The solidarity gesture comes as Muslims around the United States report worries of a backlash and growing Islamophobia after a couple who had pledged allegiance to the extremist group Islamic State killed 14 people in California in early December.
After she was criticized for saying Christians and Muslims worship the same God, Hawkins said on her Facebook page that there are convincing arguments for expressing religious solidarity with Muslims and Jews and asked people who do not agree with her to accept her love and her offering of peace.
