Franklin
Graham: No, Allah Is Not The Christian God
Franklin Graham, the president and CEO of
Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, has chastised Wheaton College, an evangelical Christian college,
for abandoning its plans to fire a Muslim professor who insisted that
Christians and Muslims “worship the same God.”
The Muslim political science professor,
Dr. Larycia Hawkins, was suspended in December for her comments, which
also included the fact that she would wear the hijab to work at Wheaton College.
Wheaton College’s Faculty Council, which acts as
interlocutor for the college administration and faculty, voted unanimously to prevent the school from firing Hawkins. The
College replied that the school was following “established protocol,” issuing
the following statement:
The next step in this process is a hearing before
the Faculty Personnel Committee. The Faculty Personnel Committee will receive
presentations from the Provost and Dr. Hawkins regarding the substantive and
procedural issues each would like to raise, will review the evidence presented,
and will make a formal recommendation regarding the termination of tenure.
The Faculty Personnel Committee’s recommendation
will then be taken into consideration by President Ryken, as he makes his
recommendation to the Board of Trustees.”
On Saturday, Franklin Graham posted on Facebook:
Both my father Billy Graham and my mother attended
Wheaton College in Illinois – in fact that’s where they met. 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.
He continued that Hawkins’ remarks were “no minor
issue … 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. 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.” H/T The Blaze
