The chapter discusses the speaker's commitment to embodied solidarity by wearing the hijab and their controversial Facebook post that went viral. It explores the reaction and consequences they faced as a psychology professor at Wheaton College, and delves into evangelical doctrines, beliefs about Jesus, and the fear of discussing taboo subjects. The chapter further examines the circumstances surrounding a college professor being placed on administrative leave due to theological statements about Muslims and Christians worshiping the same God.
With a small gesture of good will toward Syrian refugees, one woman incurred the wrath of evangelical Christians on social media. The resulting chaos helped write the next chapter in a thousand year-old controversy concerning Christianity, Islam, their shared origins, and the nature of God. Guest voices include Larycia Hawkins, Michael Mangis, Karly Bothman, Paul Griffiths, and Amir Hussain.
