Well, yeah, there's nothing actionable there. Free speech and all that -
until someone actually *does* something to be a physical threat.
One could argue that such speech is incitement, which is illegal, but the
government seems to be reluctant to charge a religious organization (or
personality) with incitement. To an extent, I can see why - if they were
to go after them, that would inflame the situation. Remember David
Koresh?
