Liberty University encouraging armed student body and Islamaphobia?

Preface; I am very pro gun/concealed carry/2nd amendment...

That being said, it baffles me that in most medical schools, students with concealed carry permits are forbidden from carrying while attending lectures.
The demographic of med students ubiquitously consists of some of the most high-achieving, intelligent, and utmost law abiding members of society.... the background check that I took during my med school orientation was vastly more involved and thorough than any sort of NICS check I had to do to buy a firearm. Even the most die-hard liberal would likely conceded that the student body of virtually all medical schools in the US are the kind of people who could be prudently labeled as "responsible gun owners".

Edit: I disagree with any form of xenophobia. The anti-muslim aspect of the speech made at liberty university's forum is not one that I agree with. My classmates are of various religious and cultural backgrounds (christians, muslims, sikhs, atheists, white, black, asian, etc.) and I would feel more comfortable if I knew that we could all preserve our rights to have the chance to defend ourselves from a violent threat while attending class.
