YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – 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 school’s 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 school’s Kilcawley Center and is frequently used to advertise for events on campus. One side said, “YSU supports ISIS.” Other messages seen in viewer-submitted photos are, “France deserves destruction,” “Jihad over God ISIS,” and “We are coming.”

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

Fair enough.

...the other side of the rock has the arabic writing on it

OK, that would change my opinion.
I still do not understand the 'Jihad over God' scrawl.
Maybe, if they really are Arabic Jihadists, English is their second language and they mucked up the translation.

I wouldn’t paint over it, I’d crush it.
