Some students were discussing (the cartoons) in class, asking why the Muslim people were so upset. We're going to try to explain why it is such a big deal for Muslims.

We are totally, completely against what (the Muslims in Denmark) did. It would have never been approved by the prophet.

We're going to help them understand what the prophet means to us, why he is the most influential man (in our religion). As well as why there are 1.3 billion that follow him.

They have to look at what individual students have done rather than at their class rank because everybody that applies to them is in the top of their class.

I think most students come in knowing what to expect. They've heard about the class and about me.

Long assignments that take longer for me to do than the other students in my class to do.
