The difference between violence and non-violence in trying to get your opinion to the masses is not black and white. It is merely different shades of gray. The main objective is to become known. Violence is quicker but you become a pariah. Non-violence can be slower but in the long run immensely more destructive. Look at the Indian uprising or the Civil Rights movement. Both ended a way of life for an entire nation. Granted it was for the better in both instances, but compared to what violent "terrorism" has done there is no comparison.
