Franklin Graham said he is “disappointed”
that the Wheaton College faculty had recommended dropping the case
against the professor who said Muslims and Christians worship the same
God.
“Both my father Billy Graham and my mother attended Wheaton College in
Illinois – in fact that’s where they met,” Graham wrote in a Facebook
post. “I’m surprised and disappointed that the faculty council there is
now recommending the college drop their plans to terminate a professor
who published that she believed Islam and Christianity worship the same
God in December.”
Dr. Larycia Hawkins was suspended after posting a message on Facebook
that she believes Muslims and Christians worship the same God. She also
said she would wear a hijab in support of Muslim women.
She was placed on administrative leave for the post.
Wheaton College's Faculty Council recently voted to urge the college to drop any efforts to try to fire Hawkins.
Graham, however, also added that Hawkins’ comments are not minor.
“Islam denies that God has a Son. They deny that Jesus is God. They do
not believe in a Triune God–the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,”
Graham continued. “I can tell you – Islam and Christianity clearly do
not worship the same God.”
"How the faculty council can now support this professor being allowed to teach students is deeply concerning.”
