What do you think of the reaction to the cartoons portraying Muhammad?
+ Leslie VeuCasovic, St. Louis senior
"I think anytime that there are offenses portrayed in the media, the people who are affected by them have the right to be angry. But I also think they shouldn't resolve the issues with illegal actions."
"I think any response that extreme is a definite overreaction. It would also be helpful for the press to show the cartoons so everyone could see what this whole fasco is about"
+ Luke Anderson, St. Louis junior
"I think it's an obvious overreaction. In the name of nothing should anyone die. I also think those who produced the cartoons had the right to do so in the name of free speech, but they should've been more sensitive instead of trying to be inflammatory."
+ Lindsey Quimeier, Kansas City, Mo., senior
I don't really know what you guys are talking about. I'm not a really big current events guy:" Tyler Noah, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore
"There were two different reactions. I am fine with the people who peacefully protested, but against those who caused violence."
* Leeta Thiessen, Fayetteville, Ark., freshman
