I think this is very important, but also part of the problem. You cannot allow destructive people to reign free, but ... Isn't that what they are saying about you? Both sides here are defending themselves from aggression from the other part. See, this is the karmic seed of a never-ending spiral of war and hate.
There are no easy answers, but to sit back and do nothing in the face of an evil is probably the most heinous things one can do.
Are they evil, and you good? Maybe both are evil? Or good? Again, if no one sits back, when will it end, except by mutual destruction?
That sums up my view on this.
(Sorry for using your post to explain my view, Risho. I'm sorry if it came out too personal, that was not my intention).
