<a href="http://www.real-politique.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Home</a> - If Wheaton College professor Larycia Hawkins had simply donned a headscarf to support her Muslim neighbors without explaining herself, she still might be administering final exams this week.<br />
<br />
Instead, Hawkins, a tenured political science professor at the private evangelical Christian college, proclaimed on social media that Christians and Muslims share the same God and was suspended by the college.<br />
<br />
"I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book," she posted Dec. 10 on Facebook. "And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God."<br />
<br />
That explanation rankled some evangelical Christians, who read her statement as a conflation of Christian and Muslim theology, even if they supported her symbolic gesture.<br />
<br />
"While Islam and Christianity are both monotheistic, we believe there are fundamental differences between the two faiths, including what they teach about God's revelation to humanity, the nature of God, the path to salvation and the life of prayer," Wheaton College said in a statement.<br />

The shooting of Laquan McDonald and the subsequent delay and alleged cover-up of the incident have provoked calls for Mayor Emanuel to resign. But what is most interesting is how this plays into the jostling for political power going on among President Obama; Mayor Emanuel; Jesse Jackson, Sr.; Hillary Clinton; and Obama's Justice Dept.<br />
<br />
It's very interesting to note that all of the major players in Washington now have Chicago connections and Chicago-based interpersonal issues. Jesse Jackson, Sr. ran for president and failed. He was dismayed that Barack Obama was able to garner so much political and media support so quickly. He didn't feel that Obama had earned the political recognition that he, Jesse Sr., had earned through decades of civil rights participation and activism.<br />

A 25-year-old man was found unresponsive in a car, police said. He had been shot multiple times in the chest, abdomen and legs and was dead on the scene.<br />
<br />
At 1:20 a.m., two people were shot in Wicker Park, said Chicago Police spokesman Officer Hector Alfaro, citing preliminary information.<br />
<br />
They were near the intersection of Paulina Street and Milwaukee Avenue when they were shot, and both were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. No further information was immediately available.<br />
<br />
At 12:45 a.m., a 22-year-old man was shot in Chatham, Alfaro said.<br />
<br />
He was at a gas station in the 7800 block of South State Street when someone in a green van fired shots. He was shot in the foot and taken to Saint Bernard Hospital. His condition was stabilized.<br />
<br />
At 11:30 p.m., a 24-year-old woman was shot in Little Village, Alfaro said.<br />

Did the Chicago Police Department try to cover up the 2014 shooting of black teenager Laquan McDonald?<br />
<br />
Police reports released Friday sharply contrast with the dashcam videos released a few days prior. In the video, it appears Mr. McDonald was moving away from a group of police when he was shot 16 times by officer Jason Van Dyke, most of which were fired “after the teen had crumpled to the ground and was barely moving,” reported the Associated<br />
