Although I am a freethinker, I commend her for her effort as a Christian to reach out to Muslims because Christianity and Islam are much more alike than they are different. Both worship the same God, although one believes God to be a unity and other a trinity, which is what makes both Christians and Muslims, along with Jews, "people of the book." In addition to the same Abrahamic God, they share many of the same beliefs. Ask any devout person of the book why murder is wrong, and each will cite the sixth of the Ten Commandments.

The authorities at Wheaton are worried about a conflation of Christian and Islamic theology? They have been conflated since the time of Mohammad.
