"No doubt Christians should strive to understand the Islamic faith fully, and vice versa. But pretend pluralism, feigning that all or most religious traditions hinge on the same truth, is no solution for the squabble at Wheaton or anywhere else."
Religious pluralism has nothing to do with hinging "on the same truth", but rather with competing religions coexisting in a society, as in a pluralistic society where competing ideas coexist, such as for example at a university, where the main idea is that a whole universe of competing ideas is supposed to be available to the student.
Presumably Boston University pays its professors to understand the meaning of that word, evocative as it is of the very mission of universities, but in this case it may wish to ask for its money back before the students do.
