This is the thing that I don't know why "moderates" don't understand:
They say "you only meet violence with violence but before that point, it's not justified".
But what they don't realize is that shutting down your livelihood is violence. Devaluing your currency is violence. Allowing thugs to terrorize your neighborhood while jailing pastors is violence. They aren't going to roll door to door until it's too late.
Glows brightly.
Man tries to starve you to death, get you thrown out onto the street, the proper response is violence. Self-defense is righteous.
