YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) â Fear of terrorism has swept much of the west in the wake of the Nov. 13 attacks on Paris, and Monday, that fear hit home for Youngstown residents.
Youngstown State University Students rallied to re-paint the schoolâs famed rock Monday afternoon to cover over a message supporting terrorist group ISIS written earlier in the day, but not before it sparked shock and outrage.
Multiple viewers submitted messages to WKBN with photos of the rock, which is located outside the schoolâs Kilcawley Center and is frequently used to advertise for events on campus. One side said, âYSU supports ISIS.â Other messages seen in viewer-submitted photos are, âFrance deserves destruction,â âJihad over God ISIS,â and âWe are coming.â

My hunch is that this is a couple of stupid, ignorant kids trying to be rebellious.

My hunch it was a group of LW democrats who actually believe ISIS are just like the Colonists in the US in the late 1700’s

Wont get media coverage; was not a fecal swastika at the black dorm, or cotton balls at the black student union. Does not fit agenda.

"Jihad over God" does not really sound like something an ISIS Jihadi would have written.
An atheist punk - yes. An ISIS Jihadi, no.
The ISIS followers are religious. Their problem is that they are following a book that was ghost written by Satan, and they are serving him - not God.

With all due respect, ISIS, and all other followers of Islam, are cultists.

There is a large Syrian population in the area, Lebanese too.
They have always been good neighbors in the past.*

Since the wording is simply uncharacteristic of jihadists, I assume this was done by local leftists hoping to inspire a politically useful backlash attack.
It won't work.

The Arabic writing was spray painted using a stencil, as were the letters “ISIS” in the squares.
The RCP uses stencils.
Ergo, quite possibly the RCP’s handiwork.

No respect is needed when it comes to ISIS and/or their followers.

I have no doubt there’s a strain of pro-ISIS sympathies running through campuses in this country.

The whole town is leftest. There are a ton of Arabs in the area. They used to be mostly Christians, but that has changed.
