Rollins College suspends student for defending gays

Here's a bizarre story: Administrators at Rollins College in Florida suspended a conservative Christian student and banished him from campus after one of his professors—Areeje Zufari—reported that he was making her feel unsafe.

But according to the student, Marshall Polston, he was actually punished for disagreeing with the professor, and for voicing concerns about deeply offensive statements made by a classmate. This classmate, an unnamed male Muslim student, reportedly said that under shariah law, beheading was the appropriate punishment for gays and adulterers.
"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," Polston told The Central Florida Post.
This student's comments understandably unnerved several members of Zufari's Middle Eastern Humanities class. Someone even notified the FBI.
Polston took his concerns to Zufari, who seemed unfazed by the comments.
Afterward, Polston was called to the dean of safety's office and informed of his suspension.

Blurry details given by a blog.
Why would you even post this, other than because you are eager believe that this is true?

Why? What are they going to do? Put him on a watch list for saying something that is a foundation of Islam?

The various minorities that the left cherishes are slowly encroaching on each other. Soon they'll be in an all out war

Is that incorrect? Was the student endorsing shariah at the same time? If so why not include that in the post?

I think this is how it began....From the Daily Caller
A Christian college student has been suspended after allegedly challenging his Muslim professor’s claims that Jesus wasn’t crucified and that his disciples did not think he was God.
Marshall Polston, a sophomore at Rollins College in Florida, was suspended after disagreeing with these assertions made by his professor, Areej Zufari, in his Middle Eastern humanities class, as reported by The College Fix.
“Honestly, it reminded me of some of the more radical groups I researched when abroad,” Polston told the Central Florida Post. “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.'”
After Polston challenged Zufari on this point, he received a 52 percent on an essay and says the professor refused to explain why. He was later reportedly suspended.

Anyone else see this and laugh?
I mean, isn't Middle Eastern Humanities kind of oxymoronic? Like Jumbo Shrimp or Irish cuisine?
