: An American professor has been sacked from her university post after showing her students images of the Prophet Muhammad, triggering controversy and a heated debate over academic freedom and religion.
But despite the warnings, including one just minutes before she showed a 14th-century painting showing the prophet, at least one Muslim student in the class launched a complaint.But officials at the small private university in Saint Paul decided to dismiss the professor, deeming the showing of the images “disrespectful and Islamophobic”, The Oracle reported last month.
“If Hamline is truly committed to academic freedom, it cannot take adverse action against faculty for displaying pedagogically relevant material in their classroom, regardless of whether it offends particular students,” FIRE wrote. “While many Islamic cultures do strongly frown on this practice, I would like to remind you there is no one, monothetic Islamic culture,” Lopez Prater reportedly said, before showing the controversial image.
