I can't play the file at work, but the title brings to mind a famous Hadith:

On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, say:

"When any one of you sees anything that is disapproved (of by Allah), let him change it with his hand. If he is not able to do so, then let him change it with his tongue. And if he is not able to do so, then let him change it with his heart, though that is the weakest (kind of) faith."

[Muslim]



Violence should always be a last resort, and it is interesting to note that this view was shared by Gandhi - he did not rule out the use of violence/force, and even served in the British army as a stretcher bearer (if memory serves me right).

Cheers,
