"You know, for every action there is a reaction. If you offend our religion, we are willing to die for it."

Mazen Asad, Senior, Biology and chemistry

"I think they took it too personal. But I also think the media were trying to push a few buttons. Even though there is freedom of speech and press, I think they should have been a little more sensitive."

Robert Smith, Freshman, Mechanical engineering

"I think that they are mostly overreacting. It seems like the religious people are pretty disillusioned by the cleric."

Daniel

van Schooneveld, Senior, Civil

engineering

"It was warranted, but violence is never a good reaction."
