That's all I can find in the news.

It's amazing who counts as 'global' these days. Such a lack of interest is quite encouraging, really.

MU students burn Islamic State flag in protest of terrorist group's activities

If it had not been homecoming weekend, they probably would have waited until the official say. They were alarmingly politically astute. Even sounding almost rational with an argument I have supported in other contexts.

"Paris said the event was intended to “initiate a dialogue to effect change” and not “to ignite hatred for Islam.” Instead, he said, the event was meant to protest the use of American weapons “that you and I have paid for, to methodically kill innocent people.”

But, I think the timing reveals that the real motivator was bigotry.
