No, you made a specific assertion about violence in the face of criticism, and backed it up with a generalised claim that this would have the legal defense of provocation.<BR/><BR/>2. You were talking about responses to criticism, not just war. That is, if someone criticises your religion it constitutes provocation that justifies violence. Of course, it's just that kind of lock-down on reasonable and democratic debate that MAC campaigned for.<BR/><BR/>3.
