Wheaton College fired a professor for affirming Christians and Muslims worship the same God

Evidence

In December 2015, a small evangelical school in the western Chicago suburbs close to where I grew up called Wheaton College made international headlines when it summarily fired Professor Larycia Hawkins—a tenured African American professor of political science—because she pointed out that Christians and Muslims worshipped the same Abrahamic God, and proclaimed that she would wear a hijab in solidarity with Muslim women during the Christian season of Advent. — Arsalan Iftikhar, Fear of a Muslim Planet_ Global…, 395
