narcissism of small differences, tbh
A tenured Wheaton College professor who donned a traditional headscarf to show solidarity with Muslims as part of her Christian Advent devotion has been placed on administrative leave.Larycia Hawkins, a political science professor at the west suburban college, announced last week that she would wear the veil to show support for Muslims who have been under greater scrutiny since mass shootings in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif.
"I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book," she posted on Facebook.
But it was that explanation of her gesture that concerned some evangelical Christians, who read her statement as a conflation of Christian and Muslim theology.
"While Islam and Christianity are both monotheistic, we believe there are fundamental differences between the two faiths, including what they teach about God's revelation to humanity, the nature of God, the path to salvation, and the life of prayer," Wheaton College said in a statement.
While Hawkins did not need to seek approval from Wheaton, she did seek advice from the Council on American Islamic Relations, to make sure she did not offend Muslims.
Renner Larson, communications director for CAIR's Chicago chapter, said he was intrigued by her decision.
"There's a lot of misconception about why women wear hijab and this idea that women are forced to wear it," said Larson, who is not Muslim. "For a lot of people it's a very powerful choice, especially in the United States it can be a hard, uncomfortable choice.
"So often women wearing hijab are the targets of attack and hatred because more than anyone else they are so immediately recognizable as Muslim."
Wheaton administrators did not condemn Hawkins' gesture, but said more conversation should have taken place before it was announced.

hijabs are dangerous to evangelical Sharia.

So the little ass kisser does approach CAIR to "make sure she did not offend Muslims" but not Wheaton.
GTFO.
We know boutons would rather be killed by a muslim than greeted by a Christian - one who would love him despite his vile hatred for them.
You Lie
Loving, respecting non-Christians, other than in cheap talk, is not for the evangelical Taliban.
I have no truck with Christians as long as they don't force their Sharia, morals, ethics onto non-Christians.
she should have been, next time ask your boss when you want to make a statement.
yeah, she could have asked, but are they punishing her for not asking or for showing CHRISTIAN love and solidarity with persecuted Muslims?
This is the part you simply don't get. What makes your morals and ethics any better as the standard??? In other words, I have every right to cast my vote for whatever I see fit (or whatever best aligns with my own opinions/positions) just as you do for whatever you see fit. You don't see me fussing or pounding the table with my fist over your right to vote how you want to be governed. Democracy wins out. I don't agree with the majority opinion on lots of issues - but that's how the populace has voted. So long as my vote was counted I have to be at peace that it doesn't always end up the way I wanted - even then it doesn't deny me the right to advocate or lobby for change.
Your position however demands that we abstain from voting based on our own personal set of morals/ethics. And if we fail to segregate the our perspectives from our votes THEN somehow we're the intolerant ones. WTH??? Tyranny is best suited for the position that you promote (the "my way or the highway" mentality).
"What makes your morals and ethics any better as the standard"
straw man, I didn't say that.
Ask your Christian supremacist Taliban bubbies why their morals, ethics, their Sharia are better than non-Christians.
I said NOTHING about whom you or anybody else should vote for.
NO but your constant, incessant, whining position that Christians somehow keep their positions to themselves presents a dichotic infeasibility when it comes to how those same people wish to be represented and ultimately governed...
I can lobby for a pro-life position. Just as you can lobby for a pro-abortion position. I've never told you that you didn't have that right.
In your world, however, you've repeatedly supported the position that my right to vote with my conscience is somehow wrong/abhorrent citing the weak jurisdictional umbrella of "separation of church and state" as the basis. IT's another form of tyranny for YOU to dictate that I or any other Christians not be allowed to vote in such a manner. Certainly my ethics and morals shape and factor into how I decide to vote on social issues, or specifically whom to vote for. Again Democracy wins out... and the outcomes are never guaranteed in your favor. You don't seem to get that.
And that's just one example.
Christian Taliban supremacist push their morals and ethics and Biblical fairy tales into law, into taxpayers school books, practicing their religion on public property, etc, etc.
The Cons ution prohibits religious in the secular, public govt, no matter how many Christians vote to have their Sharia enshrined in law for EVERYBODY to follow.
How you vote on social issues is fine, but stop expecting to elect Christian Taliban to write Christian into secular govt laws. That's UNCons utional (but maybe you can get enough Christian Taliban on the Supreme Court to rape the Cons ution)
You still don't get it. AND YET YOU LOBBY for BIGGER Government! The government should not be that big in our lives to begin with. The fact that they can dictate that my tax money be used to murder babies against my will shows you that their influence is already far too great.
bigger govt isn't BADDER govt, except to you simpletons sucking down the VRWC propaganda.
I much prefer the govt play big role in American life, than BigCorp, which is the only alternative in a vacuum left by a absent govt.
There's no power other than govt power to restrain the destructive, polluting, predatory, snooping, wealth-sucking BigCorp.
That's why BigCorp tricks you simpletons into "let's all hate and destroy govt"
She calls herself a Christian, but as far as I know, the New Testament says that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to God so I don't see her position that Muslims and Christians are "people of the book" - like they are somehow similar in belief. And I don't see why anyone would be doing something (which I'm sure she knew) to irritate their employer. Or if you're not really a Christian or don't believe in their very basic tenets, why work for such an organization?A tenured Wheaton College professor who donned a traditional headscarf to show solidarity with Muslims as part of her Christian Advent devotion has been placed on administrative leave.Larycia Hawkins, a political science professor at the west suburban college, announced last week that she would wear the veil to show support for Muslims who have been under greater scrutiny since mass shootings in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif.

"Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to God"
ALL religions push that bull .
And the various Christian cults hate each other. It's ALL scamming bull .
If there is only one God, one Christ, one Bible, why do Christians need so damn many antagonistic cults, sects?
why work? she needs to eat? Does Wheaton require that professors must be hard-core Bible humping literalists? To teach political science?
So she wouldn't be a Christian if she put on a yarmulke on solidarity with Jews?
"Not a Christian."
"Also not a Christian."
one more way to divide the masses
I'm just stating what Christians believe. It's a Christian college which I would assume teaches the Christian faith/tenet. I would guess teachers sign some kind of statement to that effect. I think Baylor does so.
Why do you do this? I said nothing about what she wears. A Christian is one who accepts Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Savior.So she wouldn't be a Christian if she put on a yarmulke on solidarity with Jews?
"Not a Christian."
"Also not a Christian."
On her Facebook: I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book. And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God.
Christians believe in the Trinity - God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit.
Islam denies:
1. the Trinity
2. the Father and the Son
3. Deity of Christ
http://www.justforcatholics.org/islam.htm
where's your problem? she wanted to express solidarity as a Christian with persecuted Muslims, maybe even have the open-mindedness (rare for Christian Taliban) to respect another religion.
Multiple Personality Disorder God is still just one God.
When she spouts stuff that is opposite to what Christians believe, I have to point it out. CHRISTIANS believe in Jesus Christ. Muslims do not worship Jesus Christ.
Jesus is still God though, right?
That God includes Jesus Christ, in whom the Muslims do not believe. The New Testament is quite clear:
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)
