Professor Areej Zufari taught “that the crucifixion of Jesus was a hoax and that his disciples did not believe he was God.”
This is not historical fact. It is pure Islamic dogma. Unless Marshall Polston had signed up for a class on Islamic dogma, Zufari had no business teaching these views as fact rather than faith. But as ever, it is Polston who has to take the fall, as Zufari deftly stepped into victimhood mode, with the willing complicity of the easy Leftist marks in the Rollins College administration.
“Rollins College Suspends Student After He Challenged Radical Muslim Hate Speech,” by Jacob Engels, Central Florida Post, March 25, 2017:
The school’s academic double standard and complacency with dangerous hate speech is on full display.
Not even a year after Radical Islamic terrorist Omar Mateen killed 49 people at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub, Rollins College officials are punishing a Christian Conservative student who challenged a liberal Muslim professor and radicalized Muslim student during a conversation on the application of Sharia Law.
Marshall Polston confirmed to the Central Florida Post that Professor Areeje [actually Areej] Zufari, who teaches a “Muslim Humanities” course at Rollins, has made outlandish claims against him and even filed a false police report.
Early on in the class, Polston said he realized the professor was harboring Anti-Christian beliefs, demonstrated by the professor’s assertion that the crucifixion of Jesus was a hoax and that his disciples did not believe he was God.
“It was very off-putting and flat out odd. I’ve traveled the Middle East, lectured at the Salahaddin University, and immersed myself in Muslim culture for many years. Honestly, it reminded me of some of the more radical groups I researched when abroad.”
Whether religious or not, I believe even those with limited knowledge of Christianity can agree that according to the text, Jesus was crucified and his followers did believe he was divine… that he was “God.” Regardless, to assert the contrary as academic fact is not supported by the evidence.
Polston says that he challenged her on this point during a class discussion and after that, Professor Zufari promptly failed him on a major essay and refused to provide input as to why she issued a 52% grade for the essay.
“I was upset, understandably. I’ve never gotten anything less than straight A’s, so I was really interested in figuring out how to possibly improve or at least understand the grade.”
This is when we step into the Twilight Zone. The teacher then reported Polston to the “Dean of Safety” at Rollins and cancelled class because she claimed he was making her feel “unsafe.”
When classes resumed, the professor decided to focus on a hot-button issue, the application of Sharia Law. During the discussion, according to Polston, another student made a shocking statement.
The student, a yet to be identified Muslim male, is said to have showcased a very strict adherence to the Quaran [sic] in previous group talks. But this time, he went too far for many students in the classroom.
“He stated that a good punishment for gays, adulterers, and thieves was the removal of a certain body part, as determined by Sharia law. It took a few seconds for me to realize that he actually said that, especially after what this community has faced with the tragic loss of life at Pulse,” explained Polston.
The Muslim college professor jokingly responded to the student that he was “in time-out” or something to that effect, and should remain quiet for a few minutes. Several students, of both Islamic and Christian backgrounds, thought the teacher should have reported the incident, but the request fell on deaf ears.
One student, who asked to remain anonymous, even reported the incident to the F.B.I., figuring it was better to say something than just ignore it.
That’s when Polston was summoned to the Dean of Safety’s office to discuss his probable suspension and how he was making Rollins College “unsafe” because of his difference of opinion with Professor Zufari and the hard-line Muslim student who displayed Islamic Fascist sympathies.
“They made it clear that they had not gotten a report about what the student said, and were more concerned about the danger I was causing to the campus. What danger? A difference of opinion in a college classroom is nothing out of the ordinary and certainly not dangerous. It was surreal and degrading. The bad grade was upsetting, but they were literally refusing to acknowledge the dangers posed by someone who advocated chopping off body parts on campus.”…
Now we have learned that Polston has been suspended from the school and ordered not to appear on campus or have any contact with Professor Zufari….
Professor Zufari has also filed a police report with the Winter Park Police Department, claiming Polston violated the order and showed up to class on Thursday to harass her, according to documents obtained by the Central Florida Post.
This appears impossible however, as Polston confirms to us that he was with his elderly grandfather and traveling to Daytona Beach for the opening of Embry Riddle College’s MicaPlex during the hours the class was held.
He has even provided a receipt from a restaurant in Orlando’s Dr. Phillips area, and stills of video surveillance showing him purchasing food during the time of the class as well.
“I will be releasing witness statements shortly proving I could not have been where Professor Zufari said I was Thursday night. It’s shameful that she lied to the police.”…
SK says
Most scholars of Jesus consider the crucifixion one of the most broadly established facts about him.
https://mobile.twitter.com/rezaaslan/status/361202311785230337
Aslan agrees.
gravenimage says
Of course, Muslim Reza Aslan also claims that Jesus was a “Palestinian” and a violent terrorist zealot. Not sure I would cite him for confirmation.
mortimer says
It is elementary to refute Reza Aslan. Jesus himself only referred to ‘Israel’ and ‘Israelites’ in the NT, and never to ‘Palestine’. After the Bar Kochba rebellion was put down, the Romans, in a humiliating act of deliberate psychological cruelty, renamed Judaea and Israel as ‘Palaestina’. Anyone who uses the name ‘Palestine’ today is either ignorant of the humiliating historical reason for renaming Roman Judaea or they are willfully perpetuating the psychological war against Jews.
Anyone who uses the term ‘Palestine’ is, in my view, anti-Semitic.
A Harris USA says
Just more Muslim crap.. More important, why is a police report filed?? It is now illegal to say Jesus is the son of God? We want to separate Church and State, I think that there is some kind of crap going on with the liberal left trying to stomp Christian believers to submit to Islam.. Just the begining of the end… I think the more we let these pig savages spew their filth, and get protection to do it, the more the rest of us, Christian, Jews and others, are going to be slapped around at the expense of the left Muslim globalist filth. If you believe any other faith, and dare to express it, you are doomed to suffer Islamic State retaliation, and now US justice system retaliation. What the HELL?
Michael says
Christianity believes in God. Islam does not; Islam believes in a man who professes to be divine. Islam is the gospel of hatred and death. Christianity is the gospel of love and life. Imperfect of course, because we are. It is a very pitched battle for the survival of civilization as we know it. Wherever Muslims invade, wherever they take hold and control, Christianity disappears. And there are NO attempts to save Christians from the Middle East, even as they are being decimated.
Civilization, or savagery? Christianity, or Islam? God, or the devil? This is the what the battle is about.
The destruction of Christianity, any religion of love, any religion of civilization, any actual religion — Islam is not — any intellectual inquiry, intellectual growth, any curiosity, creativity, innovation … anything that is life itself … this is what Islam, and the left, are about.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Mortimer. I just meant that people should be leery citing the dishonest Reza Aslan.
Tom Cook says
In regards to the followers of Jesus not believing he was God, I think that at 1st that was the case. However, after spending time with him, seeing the things he did, hearing the words that he uttered and particularly, seeing him ressurrected. As a result, after the day of Pentecost, they were all spiritually on fire, raring to go out and evangelize the world, which they did.
Warren Capp says
Reza Aslan is full of shit.
SK says
I understand where you’re coming from; he’s not a good source in and of himself, but most scholars acknowledge the event. He seems to find their views compelling… and still identified as Muslim. In hindsight, maybe this wasn’t the best “hostile witness” type of source. (By “hostile witness”, I mean someone who only agrees with you on a surprising point.)
gravenimage says
I get your point, SK.
lynn says
There is even records from the Romans regarding a crucifixion ofa man commonly held to be Jesus.. After Crucifixion was a Roman punishment
BINDON blood says
Also from Tacitus, Pliny the younger,Josephus,Babylonian Talmud and Lucien of Samosata. All these mention Jesus and His crucifixion in varying statements.
Kepha says
If Christian, pagan Roman, and Rabbinical sources all agree that Jesus was crucified and died that way, then who is Muhammad, a bit shy of six centuries later, to say it’s false?
Chris Malan says
True, not only from the Bible. There are many extra-Biblical references to the crucifixion.
One thing, however, Jesus became God only slowly starting in the second century AD. Jesus never explicitly claimed to be God. One has to bend what’s written in the Bible to see claims to Godhood.
Adrian Johnson says
Yes He did, and more than once.
You obviously haven’t read the New Testament.
Chris Malan says
Just saying Jesus did doesn’t cut the mustard. Show me just one place where Jesus said, “I am God,” really the only clear way to say it. When Jesus asked the disciples who they say he was and Peter replied that Jesus was the son of the living God, Jesus didn’t say, no, no, Peter, you’ve got it wrong – I am the living God.
Jesus said in John 17:3 that the Father was the ‘only true God,’ excluding himself and the Holy Spirit. Paul said, ‘for us, there is one God, the Father…’ Bring me something equally clear saying Jesus is God or the Holy Spirit is God. Read this: http://chrismalan.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/the-case-against-trinity.html Refute it if you can.
WCM says
Clearly, you have not read the Gospels. Or, are willfully ignorant of Jesus’ statements regarding his deity. The most easily found are his “I am” statements or “Father” statements.
I pray that Satan will not be able to take you down.
Tom Davis says
Correct. The ancient Greek accounts of the arrest of Jesus at Gethsemane show that he used the same “I am” that was spoken from the Burning Bush on Sinai. No clearer proof of his intent exists than this.
Elaina says
Jesus said he was given all authority to him (Mat 28:18) John 3:27 talks about Jesus being the son of God.
Chris Malan says
Son of God and God are two different things. The son of Jack is not Jack. Trying to force God into Earthly biological taxonomy doesn’t work – there is no god species. God is not an Earthly life form.
George S says
Jesus said the Father and I are one. This literally means “one in essence”. You could paraphrase it as “The Father and I are both God.” Jesus is not saying “we are both the same person.” That’s nonsense that you are saying.
The son of Jack is not Jack, which is true, unless of course his name is Jack also. 🙂
But seriously, Jack is a human being, and the son of Jack is a human being. They are one in essence, both human beings. The son of Jack may for a time be lesser in terms of status and authority, being a child, but when he’s full grown, he is equal is he not?
We keep thinking that God is one person, and so we get confused when we hear about Jesus saying He’s God, and the Father is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. The reality is they are all God, three seperate persons who make one God. I like to think of the word God as a way to describe a unique relationship among the only three equal, supreme, divine omnipotent beings. We really can’t understand it, with our limited minds of course.
Just as a husband and wife make one married couple, and if you add children, they make one family.
Chris Malan says
You are applying biological taxonomy to God. God is not an Earthly life form. There is no ‘god’ species. And ‘essence.’ What is this ‘essence’? Is it matter, energy or something else? Trinitarians make use of words with no clear meaning to make their point. This ‘essence’ comes from church councils held more than 1500 years ago. Surely we know more now than they did.
As for family; the trinitarian formula is 1 god + 1 god + 1 god = 1 god. No change in the entity type throughout the equation – all atomic (indivisible) entity types. Clearly nonsense, of course. Family is a collection. Trinitarians don’t say 1 god + 1 god + 1 god = 1 family of gods. Trinitarians try to get past this problem by inventing a godhead – something not defined at all and which should bridge the gap between atomic entity types and collections – it can be either as the situation demands.
All these trinitarian arguments are at grade school level and will only make headway with the most simple. You’ve been wrong as long as you’ve believed in a trinity.
Rev g says
http://vintage.aomin.org/EGO.html
Go argue to satiate your ego with someone else. It is telling that you come to sites not concerned with theological arguments to attempt to show your prowess. Can’t cut it with real experts, huh?
Chris Malan says
I followed your link. Whenever one sees that many words written about only two words one knows one has to do with BS. Your James White is a hardened trinitarian. What do you expect him to say? Without a predicate, it just means ‘I exist.’ From Strong’s: http://biblehub.com/str/greek/1510.htm Note, not the endless drivel as found with your link. Wikipedia says much the same: “When used alone, without a predicate, “I am”, “he is”, “they are”, typically mean “I exist” etc.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_eimi Jesus just said he existed before Abraham was born.
This is not rocket science – all trinitarians will bend it to say just one thing and deny that there are legitimate alternative translations, which there are.
Give me something clear and unambiguous like Jesus saying that the Father is ‘the only true god.’ John 17:3. Or Paul saying ‘for us, there is just one god, the Father…’ Oh, I see, there is nothing like that in the Bible. BS and verbosity to the rescue of the trinitarians.
Samuel Barthis says
Note, not the endless drivel as found with your link. Wikipedia says much the same: “When used alone, without a predicate, “I am”, “he is”, “they are”, typically mean “I exist” etc.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_eimi Jesus just said he existed before Abraham was born.
What Chris Martins says may be true from a Christian perspective. It is not everyday that we encounter apologists in our discussion like the Prof. v Rolston, yet as Christians we owe it to disbelievers to rationalize in Postmodernist understanding the relevancy of the Bible. What is encouraging in Christianity unlike Islam is the plethora of critics who balks at the veracity of Jesus or anything the Bible conjures. Moreover, even in Christian seminaries critical studies of Jesus is moot and whether one likes it or not we can swallow deeply or research further to our satisfaction. The Prof. in question and her religion knows no such academic rigour- the Qur’an is simply based on a book based in heaven and Allah in all in his omnipotence cringes at all the mistakes he has made and abrogates ad infinitum

Rev g says
Looking at how much you write pushing “Chris malan” and how much negative about “anyone else”, I see you point. Your head announces your presence 10 minutes before you arrive.
Chris Malan says
Dear old Rev G said: ” Your head announces your presence 10 minutes before you arrive.” This is one of the classical examples of the tricks pulled by those who don’t have a case, introducing something off-topic to deflect attention from the weakness of their argument. Sometimes called introducing a red herring.
One can avoid the need for such cunning by not championing a cause not based on facts. I’m lazy, I always go with the facts. Saves me trouble and makes me appear clever.
Rev g says
You claim to go with facts. Your own verbosity announces your true intent, ego satisfaction on your part. How dare people not include you in the trinity.
Chris Malan says
Dear Rev G, Better take the medication the psychiatrist prescribed for you.
Rev g says
I take no medications. Apparently your heavy usage has you projecting that everyone must.
Rev g says
Drug usage and/or antipsychotic medications do explain a lot about you though Chris.
Rev g says
http://www.equip.org/article/did-jesus-claim-to-be-god/
and you can check the original wording and find it still true.
Chris Malan says
The page you link to can be easily shot down in flames. E.g. it says “Finally, Jesus claimed to possess the very attributes of God. For example, He claimed omniscience…” In fact, Jesus said he did not know the time of his return, God alone knew that. Is that omniscience?
Peter raised people from the dead, as did Elijah. Were they omnipotent? There are many statements in the Bible claiming God raised Jesus from the dead (Acts 2:24, 32; 3:15, 26; 4:10; 5:30; 10:40; 13:30, 33, 34, 37 Rom. 4:24; 6:4; 10:9; 1 Cor. 6:14; Gal. 1:1; Col. 2:12 and more) and not one saying Jesus raised himself from the dead. If Jesus could do anything while dead, he was not dead.
Why is it so easy to refute trinitarians? They truly are a thick species.
And we are still left with the once blind man claiming to be God in John 9, according to the trinitarians if they are consistent.
Rev g says
Peter acted on authority granted by Christ. You refute yourself.
Jesus knows when He will return, we don’t.
Jesus never told others that they and the Father were one.
“I am” is directly referencing Exodus.
Peggy says
So did Jesus actually say “Father, why have you forsaken me” while he was on the cross?
If he did, who was he talking to? If he’s God than it is really confusing.
Everything seems so cryptic that it’s hard to work out exactly is happening.
Rev g says
That is why it takes more than a cursory look to glean a deeper understanding.
Chris Malan says
Yes, the trinity defies logic and seems very convoluted. Athanasius’s advice was, ‘shut up, stop asking questions and just believe in the trinity.’ Rev G advises that “it takes more than a cursory look to glean a deeper understanding.” You really have to let your mind go in circles until you are willing to believe anything. Timothy Leary advocated using LSD to explore the spiritual world. Maybe a prolonged session with the crack pipe will make the trinity clear. Ah, the deep secrets and mysteries of the trinity. Who can understand them?
Rev g says
Who? Most Christians, of course. And yet, most Christians don’t pepper their conversations with drug use references, because they are not drug users.
That you do reference drug use so frequently is telling. Now I understand your comprehension issues.
Chris Malan says
No, Rev G, I’ve never taken any drugs, not even one whiff of weed. However, drugs seem to be a logical explanation for the weird ideas some people have. Maybe Claviceps Purpurea in the wheat around the time of the Council of Nicea? That would explain much. Lucy in the sky with diamonds, rocking horse people eating marshmallow pies. Or is it just plain madness? It’s not fact, logic or sanity.
Rev g says
Your continual insinuations about drugs and your over-familiarity with the jargon betray the truth. Call your case worker, or if you are on street drugs look up “narcotics anonymous” along with your city, they can help I am acquainted with dozens of recovering addicts who are no longer using or trapped in their delusions. Step one is admitting your problem.
Eur says
I am not a believer but you are wrong if you are referring to the Christian sources. Jesus said that the father and he were one, he replied “i am” when they asked directly ….
Musalmaanmasala says
Chris Malan Christ said “Before Abraham was I AM” and this sis just one of the “I AMs” I am quoting.
One does not have to shout to the roof tops and inform people “Hey, lookee here I AM GOD” (It seems youi have been immersing yourself in inane muslim arguments about Christ’s divinity)
Bill Gates does not go about shouting “I am the world richest man” statistics show it. In Christ’s there are umpteen incidents (statistics from that time) to show His divinity and the biggest proof THE RESURRECTION.
Here too the muslims differ (and I bet you concur) that since He did not die on the cross He did not rise from the dead.
Kay says
@ Chris Malan:
Perhaps you want to understand and believe. Then you must also listen.
Chris Malan says
Come on, are you thick? ‘We are one’ is an idiomatic expression. If Jesus and the Father were the same entity known by two names, to whom did Jesus pray? Himself?
The “I am’ is in John 9, too, but not there seen as a claim to deity – very inconsistent. In John 8:58 it can also legitimately be translated differently.
Rev g says
Sounds like you are the one mistranslating things.
Mo says
@ Chris Malan
“One thing, however, Jesus became God only slowly starting in the second century AD. Jesus never explicitly claimed to be God. One has to bend what’s written in the Bible to see claims to Godhood.”
Nonsense. The Bible teaches no such thing. Nor does history, since Christians were worshiping Him as God from the start.
SteveFinSC says
From The Gospel of John, Chapter 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
Skipping to verse 14:
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
And again to verse 18:
18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, WHO IS HIMSELF GOD and[b] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
John’s Gospel was written in the first century. John was Jesus’ favorite. He was present at the crucifixion. He is the person that Jesus asked to take in his mother. John obviously believed Jesus was God.
Either you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God or you don’t. You don’t get to pick and choose. I believe every word of the Bible is true, but I also believe that we may not have a full understanding of its truth. Our lack of understanding – and understanding ONLY comes from the Holy Spirit – does not mean that it isn’t true only that our worldliness has prevented a full understanding. If you don’t believe all of the Bible, where do you draw the line? Either it’s all true or all of it is suspect.
Christianity is not a religion. It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If He is not God, then that relationship is impossible, and your faith is in nothing.
somehistory says
Chris
Jesus said, “The Father is greater than I am.” He also said, in John 20: 17″I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”
And as you point out, Jesus prayed to His Father, and He also instructed His disciples to pray the same way (Matthew).
But I have found that most people who claim Christianity, do not accept these as some of us do.
I agree with you that Jesus Christ is not equal to His Father in a trinity with His Father as the Almighty God. The apostle Paul says so, calling Jesus the “First born of all creation.”
In Isaiah, He is said to be “Mighty God, Eternal Father (adopting those whom He saved with His perfect sacrifice) and Prince of Peace.”
What is important for me is that God knows my heart. And no one on earth has perfect understanding of heavenly things, so there is bound to be some disagreement about Scripture.
At least, we have Christ and are not a part of the beast from satan.
Kepha says
Christ’s subordination to the Father is economic, referring to how he worked salvation for us, not ontological.
Chris Malan says
At last, someone who can read. Jesus is never called Father elsewhere in the Bible, especially the New Testament. That makes many say the part in Isaiah doesn’t refer to Jesus.
Also, the injunction in the last chapter of Matthew to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is not followed even once in the New Testament. It’s always in the name of Jesus. That makes many think that part may be a later, but quite early, insertion, like the comma Johanneum.
John 1:1 directly translated reads: in a beginning was the word and the word was with the god and a god was the word. The Greek word for word, logos, (Greek has at least three words for word, all meaning different things) has been in use to describe certain aspects of a god since Plato. Philo of Alexandria, a non-Christian Jew living from about 20BC to 50AD, wrote much about Logos. He called it the son of god, not associating it with Jesus at all. According to Philo, Logos was responsible for the creation of the material world. God was so pure, he couldn’t contaminate himself by creating material things, again, according to Philo and the Gnostics. It is improbable that the New Testament idea of Logos has nothing to do with writings circulating on the same subject saying the same. Philo definitely influenced John, whose books were of the latest written, even after Philo’s death.
God didn’t dictate the Bible and he didn’t provide the writers with exact words, which amounts of course to dictating. Much of what’s in the Bible is the writers’ own ideas on the subject.
gravenimage says
Chris–with all respect–you are missing the point here.
The point in this context is not about Christianity at all–it is about a Muslim supremacist professor pushing Islam as fact, and denigrating Christians in the process. When challenged, she then turned on the student, got him suspended, marked down his grades, and lied to the school administration and even the police.
Don’t assume that she would not do the same to a student who was Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Agnostic, or Atheist, as well.

Rev g says
Historically the Romans used many methods of construction for crucifixion. The “t” cross was quite a normal method, hence the name of the practice. It is not called “tauifixion”.
Manual Paleologos says
Typically, a Roman cross comprised a vertical member, the stipe, which may have been semi permanent, and a loose cross member, the patibulum. Scripture doesn’t specify the geometry of the cross. We call it a cross, because the Romans did.
Musalmaanmasala says
Jihadi John thank allah and mohammed you atleast agreed that JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED “Not a crucifix but a “T” shaped pair of planks”
Now I hope some fanatic muslim dickhead does not commit you to the land of 72 virgins for disagreeing about the the koran’s assertion “that Christ was not crucified but “appeared” to be so.
Mohammed was so shit scared of the Cross, he did not want anything to with it (the devil which I suppose he is too is scared of the Cross) that he actually proclaimed that “Christ will come on the last day and break the cross and worship at Mecca”
Imagine Christ breaking the Cross….the very thing with which He won freedom for us.

From Australia with best of intentions!
I write in support of Marshall Polston. Teaching staff should endeavour to be as objective as they can be and at the same time acknowledge the opinions of students. Of course, in religious matters maintaining respect for each other is essential. It certainly sounds as if Ms Zufari was pushing her own agenda without understanding and respect for Mr Polston. Perhaps his email was a little hasty and obviously was written out of frustration – however, it is always incumbent on the teacher first to always manage themselves and then manage the classroom to ensure the teaching environment is conducive to productive learning. It appears that Mr Polston is not the only student experiencing difficulties with Ms Zufari. Please God peace will return to this classroom.

from the faith matters perspective, she possibly mislead others, having no faith in the God of Abraham. having no faith she is to be condemned by the One who is Righteous.
having no faith, she teaches without understanding that the crucifixion of Jesus was necessary – as ordained from out of Eternity by Triune God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Triune God would bestow upon her all the blessings attained by the crucified Christ; she rejects that.

Florida: Muslim prof teaches Islam as fact, Christian student disagrees, gets suspended, police report filed
…………………………….
*Grotesque*. One often has concerns about students who openly disagree with instructors having their grades suffer–as also *blatantly* happened here–but Polston’s being suspended and a false police report filed is even more sickening. And, of course, the whole idea of “Muslim Humanities” is laughable to begin with.
The claim that Jesus was not crucified is pure Muslim propaganda–and the claim that Jesus’s followers themselves did not believe that he was God is even more appalling.
But this is also mainstream Islam–the idea that non-Muslims are deliberately rejecting what they know to be the truth–i.e., Islam.
Kudos to Marshall Polston for standing up!
That someone who has himself lectured at universities would pull a failing grade on an essay is not plausible.
And that a Muslim student in the class was actually threatening gay people and “adulterers” with amputations without censure shows the grotesque projection of accusing Mr. Polson of making these Shari’ah touting thugs “feel unsafe” when challenged for spouting their vicious bs.
Jenny H says
Projection of their emotions, motivations and actions on to others seems to be a common modus operandi amongst muslims. Perhaps their rote learning of their theology and quotations from the koran and hadiths etc., and striving to follow the example that supposed ‘perfect example of human behaviour’ Mohammed, has caused them to absorb his twisted psychological profile.
gravenimage says
Jenny, I don’t think most Muslims believe this bs–they have just learned that accusing those they have harmed of threatening them is a strategy that all too often works.
m says
A horrible sign.
pennant8 says
Colleges and universities are business’s just like any other. Many of them sell a shoddy product. If the customer [student] complains, this unique business doesn’t promise to do better, they effectively fine the complainer by way of a suspension. The only way to fight this is for the customer/student to take his business elsewhere and sue for a partial tuition rebate.
Michael says
Resistance is pretty critical. They infiltrate religion, education, and government. The three pillars of any culture. They get Sharia law to be somehow acceptable.
Stella says
Sharia is creeping into everyday life at an astonishing pace. Liberals have opened the gate by accommodating, prayer rooms in schools, allowing class disruption as they leave for their 5 times a day prayer, forcing companies to adhere to their religious belief, no alcohol or pork deliveries even for trucking companies whose business involves this transportation. Banking has catered to their Islamic demands, hijabs can be worn even if they present a danger, military relaxing its standards in uniform dress and appearances, halal food in jails and prisons, regardless of extra costs. communities allowing the call to prayer to be blasted over loudspeakers. allowing Sharia family courts to interject into our judicial system. Educational material being edited by companies whose biggest investors are from Saudi Arabia. Where and when does the insanity end?
gravenimage says
It never ends until we are a Shari’ah state–unless we fight back for our civilized societies.
Michael says
Muslims are practiced experts at using the very tolerance of civilized societies, as the doors to get in and defeat that very society, and crush its civilization, and return it to savagery. They know exactly what they are doing. Have done it for a very long time. And they are relentless. When turned back, they re-group, and go again … and again … and again.
Astounding that it’s so transparent what they are doing. And that they are doing it per explicit instructions of the Koran. And that lying is part of their mission. And that death to all non-believers — as they have done historically, and currently — is what awaits.
there, plain as day … and most are completely blind to it. So blind does ‘tolerance’ become, that tolerance can no longer identify that which cannot and must not be tolerated.
kafir91 says
Simple. The university students (dhimmis) are paying tuition (jizyah) that goes toward enabling Professor Areej Jufari to conduct da’wah, the noble duty of every Muslim.
Mockingjay says
The insanity of what happened in this story and the implications of it are enormously scary.
– If you wear a thing around your head and call it “a hijab” you can pretty much get away with anything nowadays.
All because you worship an imaginary prophet.
Baucent says
“That’s when Polston was summoned to the Dean of Safety’s office to discuss his probable suspension and how he was making Rollins College “unsafe” because of his difference of opinion with Professor Zufari”
Any Professor who feels “unsafe” when faced with academic debate, shouldn’t be teaching at all.
no_one says
Yes. I wouldn’t like to have a degree from this college. He should sue them and ask to be reimbursed for the tuition.
carol says
It’s the Dean of Safety who needs to be put on the grill. The professor has an honest excuse for being a twit – being brainwashed from an impressionable age and all. But who is this Dean and what does he stand for? Is he a Muslim? A dhimmi? Maybe the gays need to kick up a fuss re the other student’s statement. Turn it into a total tit for tat farce before breaking for salat.
Steve Klein says
“Early on in the class, Polston said he realized the professor was harboring Anti-Christian beliefs, demonstrated by the professor’s assertion that the crucifixion of Jesus was a hoax and that his disciples did not believe he was God….”
God is an interesting term in the Bible. Remember Jacob wrestled with god and he prevailed. What kind of God do Christians believe Jesus is?
gravenimage says
I believe you are missing the point here, Steve.
BINDON blood says
Also from Tacitus, Pliny the younger,Josephus,Babylonian Talmud and Lucien of Samosata. All these mention Jesus and His crucifixion in varying statements.
Chris Malan says
All Muslims have anti-Christians beliefs. Christians are mentioned in the Koran as deluded because they believe Jesus is the son of God.
You are right that the word God/god is loosely used in the Bible. Jesus remarked on that when he said the scriptures called those to whom it was directed gods – referring to Psalm 82:1. They were actually people and the word elohim is used. With Moses and the burning bush, it starts out as ‘an angel of the Lord’ and becomes ‘the Lord.’ The level of accuracy in the writing of the Bible is not very high. Jacob wrestled with someone. Who or what exactly, we don’t know.
Kay says
You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.
Chris, the Bible is historical and can be proven–and some parts are poetry. Moreover it speaks of spiritual truth. It is not a mere diagram. His greatness is unsearchable (i.e. you will not reach the end of it though you try).
Chris Malan says
Where did I say much in the Bible is not historical? Much of the two books of Kings and Acts is historical. Also, to a lesser extent, in other books.
Rev g says
You have never seen the class book “muslim’s in humanity”. The apostrophe isn’t the typo, the second word space is.
Aloha Akbar says
No such book Rev. It would be too big to carry. Their inhumanity is in numerable.
(sarc on the last word space)
Michael says
Aloha Akbar, I like the sarcasm at the end. That was good.
Rev g says
That’s why the apostrophe is where it is, for a single muslim. It is a primer, something akin to that Obamacare cartoon girl, but loosely based on muhammad. No pictures though, of course!
somehistory says
This is wrong on all counts. Never should there be a class as this…there is no *humanity* in islam.
I’ve argued with professors and had grades marked down, argued and had my papers graded fairly.
It should be the same in all classes…disagreement should not be a *reason* to mark off an acceptable paper. IMO there should be rules against that practice, anyway.
This is just terrible for this student. Glad he has the receipts and the photos to prove she is lying.
In Florida, lying to the police, filing a false report, are crimes punishable by time in jail. For each lie, one year. Hope they prosecute this moslim fool for telling lies. If she lied twice, she can spend two years in prison. At least, a portion of two years.
Lying is what got Casey Anthony prison time after the ng verdict for murder.
If this so-called professor goes to prison, she won’t be *teaching* and lying in classrooms afterward.
Stella says
No but they’ll allow her to proselytize in prison and do some recruiting without a hassle.
Jeanette says
She’ll be teaching, all right, since she’ll have a hard time hiding her Muslim genital mutilation from non-Muslim prisoners in the shower.
Rev g says
ACT for America is sending requests for people to call or email the school
gravenimage says
Thanks, Rev g. Everyone should contact the school.
pennant8 says
If I am not mistaken, Islamic theology teaches that Jesus was an early Muslim prophet, but Mohammed is the senior and final prophet.
Jeanette says
What else would we expect from liars?
gravenimage says
And the Muslim “Jesus”–really, “Isa”–is *nothing* like the Jesus of the Gospels.
It is not just that he is not the Savior and was not crucified–he is also not a healer or a peacemaker.
In fact, in the last days Isa is supposed to “break the cross and kill the pigs”, and offer Christians the stark choice of converting to Islam or death. In other words, the main purpose of “Jesus” in Islam is to *kill Christians*.
carol says
pennant8…haven’t you heard? – we’re all born Muslims (except of course that guy who tried to knife his way through Parliament of course).
Troybeam says
Lawsuit coming, denied first amendment right to speak, suspended for no reason, file against teacher and school, do not be silent.
Westman says
It appeats that Rollins College may have a bona fide liar on the faculty. Now that the acusations are out there in Florida’s media, the press won’t let it go until there is a resolution that either restores or tarnishes Rollins College.
Rev g says
I wouldn’t count on that, after all this is a modern muslim woman being accused, not Donald Trump. Any falsehoods she made or improprieties she seems to have committed were certainly just misunderstandings. Shame on that awful Christian boy for being so obstinate about a non-issue! (Sarc)
Michael says
Is Rollins College a public institution? Does It received a substantial part of it’s funding from the U.S. taxpayer? IF either is true, Where are the classes on all the other faiths. I don’t care if the Qu’ran is literal truth or just a fable. Scotty and Captain Kirk may may found it in outer space for all I know. –But.
This lady had no right to set up her own private Islam out let in any school in which she works.
Stan Lee says
Since the student “signed up” for a class in “Muslim dogma,” his reason for attending that instruction was justified. He received a real dose of Muslim dogma, plus Muslim reaction for arguing the point. The dogma of the instructor was even more evidence of Muslim dogma which could not tolerate any other point of view.
And, Rollins College is a lousy college for taking an extreme against the student, especially in view of the instructor reporting the student for what?…Disagreeing and arguing the point which precipitated a report to police? Isn’t that an overreaction by the instructor? Yet, the school must have agreed to that overreaction. I now wonder if that college receives some financial support from any part of Islam at work in the United States.
Ashley says
Goodness. I’ve never seen so many “thumbs down” regarding this “professor.”
http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=816729
Rollins College best clean house or else prepare to lose accreditation…
gravenimage says
Thanks for tracking that information down, Ashley.
Also note–some of the students who did give her high marks did so because she was an easy grader, *not* because she is a good professor.
A personal aside; at Berkeley, I was on the editorial staff of either the first or one of the first magazines at any American university doing student ratings of professors. We actually had very stringent categories, exactly so we wouldn’t wind up with a lot of professors who were just offering easy A’s or currying favor with their students getting high marks.
brane pilot says
Education is the soft underbelly of democracy, and no one has been minding the store as Islamic dogma is presented as fact in our schools. Due to what is being taught in the schools, patriotism and common sense are branded as bigotry.
Cities in the USA will burn because of this.
somehistory says
New England Congregationalists founded Rollins College in the 1800’s.
It seems that wherever anyone starts something with the idea of being Christian, moslims come along and like a fly in the ointment, spoil everything..
Ecclesiastes 10:1 “Dead flies in the perfume send forth a stink.”
mortimer says
OXYMORONIC !!
The title of the course “Muslim Humanities” is similar to saying “Apartheid Humanities”, since Islam divides people into two groups: Muslims and dirty kufaar.
Since the dirty kufaar are the lowest of life-forms, lower even than vermin, there can be no logical reason to put the words ‘Islam’, ‘Muslim’ and ‘Humanities’ together in a title. It is an oxymoron.
Islam has a doctrine of APARTHEID called ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ which demands that Muslims have social supremacy to the dirty kufaar in all ways.
The principle and perhaps most important supremacism of Muslims is in the area of the CONTROL OF INFORMATION, particularly information about Islam. No dirty kafir should even MENTION any Islamic teaching. A dirty KAFIR’S role in education is to listen in silence while Muslims dictate the subjective, obscurantist TRUTH of Islamic supremacism.
Michael says
This might be worth going to the web page with the original article, linked above:
http://www.centralfloridapost.com/2017/03/25/rollins-college-suspends-student-after-he-challenged-radical-muslim-hate-speech/#comment-87
I did. It’s interesting to read what the locals are saying. I posted a couple comments. The resistance has to be local. And people are upset. It’s interesting to read the comments of people who know the student, know the school. One fellow was on the board of trustees, and is outraged.
The pressure has to be put on locally.
If you have time, take a look at the article. Chime in with your thoughts on it. This is where we can at least try to be part of making a difference on something happening right now.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Michael, I too went to the original article, because the Jihad Watch excerpts did not make much sense. Unfortunately, the reporting in the original article is substandard too. For example, it is stated that “Several students, of both Islamic and Christian backgrounds, thought the teacher should have reported the incident, but the request fell on deaf ears.”, but it is unclear exactly what incident is being referred to (the teacher’s own behavior? a student’s behavior? what behavior?), and to whom it should be reported. Nor is it clear when the various occurrences took place. A note at the end says of the writer of this article, “Jacob Engels is an Orlando based journalist”, but what he writes is not very journalistic. Some quotations are not attributed to anyone, he refers to himself (“I believe”) in the article, and his choice of words lead the reader to believe he not reporting news but expressing an opinion (“outlandish”, “This is when we step into the Twilight Zone.”, “One student, who asked [whom? Jacob Engels?] to remain anonymous, even reported the incident [which incident?] to the F.B.I.”)
Sorry, I am too disgusted with the sloppy journalism to try to decipher what the editorialist is trying to say.

gravenimage says
Yes, Michael–glad to see it.
mortimer says
A number of Muslim thinkers and scholars have concluded, after reading the primary, historical source texts from the Roman period, that Jesus was indeed crucified, but they have an incoherent explanation as to why the Koran got this wrong.
They conclude that the Koran was wrong and Jesus was crucified, but (inconsistently) that the Koran is still someone the ‘perfect’ words of Allah. This is mere intellectual dishonesty and ‘denialism’ on the part of Muslims. They see the historical proofs of early Christian beliefs, but refuse to conclude that the Koran is in error about and therefore a false, man-made document making easily disproved claims.
The ONLY defense for Islam is the appeal to FORCE to crush intellectual and critical analysis of Islam’s false claims. This prof (Areej Zufari) failed to prove (and could not prove) her claims, so she APPEALED TO FORCE to crush dissent.
Force is NOT an INTELLECTUAL ARGUMENT. University profs MUST either produce an INTELLECTUAL ARGUMENT or resign or be fired. FORCE IS NOT PROOF.
Baucent says
The denial that Jesus was crucified is central and necessary to undermine the Christian message of Jesus as Saviour. Muslims right back to Muhammed know this. In fact Muhammed probably had many debates with Christians in the years before he invented his own religion. If you accept Christian doctrine, then the work is complete and there is no need for another Prophet. Muhammed probably realised that so decided to claim Jesus never died, in fact I believe the Koran says he was taken up to Heaven alive. so that allowed him to invent himself as a final prophet.

Samuel Barthis says
We have to understand in the quest for the Historical Jesus there are different camps on the matter. No matter how apologetic we may be. The Prof. had a point to make, however, the way the article portrayed her balefulness suggests that her larger personality emerged. Her polemics and not pedagogy surfaced. In the greater scheme of things as a Muslim she knew she had freedom to say her say, but in her shortsightedness if she had been in the Dar al Islam the Christian student would have been indicted to a shari’a court with awful consequences. The Prof. is basically a polemicist teaching. The tragedy is that the incident happened America where atheist\Christians appose Christians and reprimand the student. Islam wins !!!

This quote from an American president says it all. All North Americans and those in the world who cherish peace should memorize this.
To quote John Quincy Adams, 6th president of the United States:
“In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.
Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus
Bang on!

Frank J. Verderber says
Say it Loud and say it often. Islam was developed from the second century Ebionite Hebrew cult found in the eastern desert. The Essenes hosted three groups, one of which was the Ekanites, which interprets as, “The Wisdom.” They became the Ebionites who moved into Eastern Arabia along with the Nestorian Christians. Mohammed’s wife and aunt where Nestorian, and his second cousin was a Ebionite priest. While in Medina Mohammed was trained by a Nestorian monk. Because Mohammed was illiterate, he could only remember stories he was told. His wife Ayesha – who was age nine when he married her – would write down his memories. His ideas of Christianity came from a desert Jewish cult [Ebionites] who would constantly attach Christian doctrine. The finality of the Ebionites are to be found in the pseudo-Clemontine Epistles. Everyone of the Ebionite doctrines are used in Islam. Islam is an Ebionite cult that added pagan Sabaean rituals to its political ideology, just as Hitler added symbols and rituals to his political ideology. Tell everyone – most assuredly the Muslims that they are a JEWISH CULT!

I would hope the Christians take the bait and leave.

One would think that at least a few colleges would cater to non-Muslims by simply giving them ZERO preferential treatment.

IQ al Rassooli says
This ‘professor’ should be asked by the PARENTS of non Muslim students to EXPLAIN the following Verse ~
Al Mai’da 5: 51 “O ye who believe (Muslims)! take not the Jews [Yahood] and the Christians [Nasara] for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other.
And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them…”
*** The implications of the last sentence is of immense importance “And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them…” meaning that any followers of Muhammad who befriend or under the rule of Christians or Jews (or any none Muslim group) would be considered Apostates to Islam, outsiders to Islam, enemies of Islam who must be slaughtered.
In a nutshell, no Muslim in the USA (or any none Muslim country) can ever be loyal to the American Constitution because it is Man Made NOT from Allah’s Sharia nor can any Muslim in the USA (or any none Muslim country) be a loyal citizen because none Muslim Americans are called Infidels/ Kuffar/ Unbelievers/ Kafiroon to be either subjugated or exterminated***
After that, these parents should SUE the administration and the ‘professor’ for the SUPPRESSION of freedom of debate and discussion

To beleive or not beleive that Jesus was crucified and came back three days later (read: THE PASSOVER PLOT- book written perhaps 40 years ago, saying that jesus WAS crucified, but given a drug-so he was in a sort of coma- I don’t remember the details-I read the book in high school).
That is a matter fo faith.
To beleive that jesus is Devine- that too is a matter fo faith. One can beleive it or not. I cannot see a disagreement being a cause for suspension or the cancelation of classes.
I think the teacher is an insecure asshole
(as an aside-I thought that Rollins College was a Christian school, Baptist or similair-with strict rules. is that incorrect?)
Rev g says
To believe that someone could be scourged, crucified, given a drug to feign death, and on the third day have any look that inspires others to believe they resurrected, that takes a special kind of belief.

Read the book. As best I recall. Other than the title and basis is that it was well written. And readable without having to have a Webster unabridged dictionary.
The author ad I recall was Hugh Sconfield or something simiar

@Rev g You said: “Peter acted on authority granted by Christ. You refute yourself.
Jesus knows when He will return, we don’t.
Jesus never told others that they and the Father were one.
“I am” is directly referencing Exodus.”
Jesus said: “I can do nothing on my own…” John 5:30. Much in the same boat as Peter.
About his return, Jesus said: “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Mark 13:32
About how Jesus and the Father are one, Jesus prayed for his disciples to the Father: “I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one…” John 17:21 Are the disciples one entity? Is the Father a member of a certain species? When Jesus prayed that, he was in human form. Is the Father a human? Jesus said ‘God is spirit.’
If ‘ego eimi’ (Greek) in John 8 directly references Exodus 3:14, then it does so too in John 9 and wherever else it’s used in the New Testament. The formerly blind man therefore, claimed to be god, too. Furthermore, Jesus spoke Aramaic, the New Testament is in Greek and the old in Hebrew. Each word in one language can in most cases legitimately be translated to more than one word in another language. How come not in this case? As ‘ego eimi’ is translated to different words wherever else it’s used in the New Testament, it clearly has other legitimate translations. Your necessary one to one mapping between John 8:58 and Exodus 3:14 therefore disappears.
Does Rev stand for Reverend? Clearly, you don’t know the Bible. Maybe a charismatic denomination where feelings take the place of facts. Definitely not from a branch of Christianity where knowledge is valued. Most likely one beloved by the truly stupid who deprecate knowledge in favour of stupidity, claiming their nonsense is from God and not understandable by human intelligence, which they sorely lack.
This is like taking candy from a baby.

Indeed,in Greek, as in other languages, multiple words may mean the same thing, and a single word can have multiple menings.

Here’s a link to all the non-transitive appearances of ego eimi in the New Testament with ego eimi always translated as I AM in this list, even though it is not translated that way in most Bibles. http://drmsh.com/the-i-am-statements-of-jesus-a-slightly-different-approach/ This is most likely the most neutral treatment of this subject you’ll find. It’s clear that a non-transitive ego-eimi can legitimately be translated more than one way and legitimately not be seen as a claim to deity.
As for theologians being ‘real experts’, don’t make me laugh. They have to take off their shoes and socks to work with numbers bigger than ten. They do shine at BS, though.

It is always amazing how the writers them selves misunderstood what they wrote, as did everyone contemporary to them. Only pompous fools millenia removed can truly understand things for what was written.
Chris Malan says
Right on, man. Deep thoughts you have. Let’s talk about the sound of one hand clapping and share a joint.
Rev g says
I should have known you were a pothead. They always seem to think their blather is deep thinking.

Chris,
Interesting that you should be found distracting people from the point of the article – the defamation of the student for arguing from a different viewpoint, and the false accusations after he followed up.
As for Jesus’ I AM statements, please read again in the source texts how the Jewish authorities responded to what he said – they clearly believed he was claiming to be God, and that is what led to his crucifixion.
You seem to be close to the truth but kicking against the goads. Take care,
Dave

Why are people digressing from the central issue here in?
The so called professor, using the unerring methodology of Muslim VICTIMHOOD has been challenged by a brilliant, intelligent and Politically INCORRECT Christian young man pointing out her TOTAL failures at everything she teaches.
He, his family and all the other students, their parents and all Americans who are appalled by Muslim false INDOCTRINATION in the American academic system should cause the leaders of the school to BEG forgiveness and for the Muslima to be FIRED!
After all since every Muslim is Sharia compliant then automatically every Muslim is the mortal and eternal enemy of every non Muslim Infidel/ Kafir on planet Earth. 80% of current humanity
Hence every Muslim is a potential Mass Murderer the instant he/ she decides that he/she is NOT Sharia compliant enough
Every Muslim is therefore a Time Bomb primed to go off
All other explanations are un necessary and redundant
Anyone to challenge the above?

Exactly–this is what this is about.
Susette says
Debating the divinity of Jesus totally deflects from the outrageous actions that this professor and Rollins University perpetrated upon the constitutional rights of this student. He was criminalized for attempting to engage in thoughtful and respectful discourse with a radicalized moslem. THAT is the OUTRAGE.
Rev g says
Agreed.
gravenimage says
Exactly, Susette–it is beside the point here, and this Muslim supreacism should be of concern to Christians and non-Christians alike.
Susette says
I am just agonizing over this. How can this happen at a university in America??? Hopefully, this outstanding reporter will remain vigilant and engaged and we will see this through till this man is vindicated, and the radicalized islamic moslem professor is dealt swift and permanent justice.
gravenimage says
Yes–this is shocking. I’m just glad it is getting coverage.
