That's not a friendly reminder; it is force.

Someone says "cannot" to you and you say they are using force?

You sound like one o' them Howard Dean supporters.

They expressly advocated the use of force:

The Vatican suggested, however, that where free speech crosses the line and becomes offensive to a religion, national authorities "can and should" intervene.
Morally, I recognize no distinction between some guy in a mitre saying "if you offend my religion, national authorities can and should intervene" and some guy in a turban saying "if you offend my religion, the faithful will rise up and punish you". Both imply that, if push comes to shove, whatever means it takes, up to an including killing you, will be employed to stop you.
