There are two ways to protest violence in the Middle East.
The Hitchens Method

Then There's These Assholes
They had a sit-in in the cafeteria to protest something or other. The first of their demands was a pardon for their actions. Seriously. NYU Local has full coverage.

Sadly the University did let them off without consequences.
