Now, if he was just saying that sometimes it "takes violent actions" instead of saying "you should be violent"; I'd say the line isn't crossed.
Isn't inciting violence a criminal offence anyway? Couldn't it technically be called conspiracy to commit a violent act of some sort? If not, it should be.

I just found out that it has been illegal in Canada to incite religious hatred since the 1970's, and that Britain is now trying to pass amendments that would make their laws more level. In Britian right now, it is illegal to incite violence, to incite racial hatred, and to incite religious hatred against jews and sihks (but not christians and muslims). What up!!
Also, US states have "hate laws" but I dont know if these cover inciting violence.
