What incitement looks like

[cthulu2016]

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Scores of people were injured Saturday in clashes in Bangladesh's capital between police and hundreds of demonstrators, as protests continued in the Muslim world against a film produced in the United States that denigrates Islam's Prophet Muhammad.

In Pakistan, where more than 20 people died Friday in clashes in cities throughout the country, a Cabinet minister offered a $100,000 reward for the death of the filmmaker.

Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmad Balor told The Associated Press that he would pay the reward out of his own pocket. He urged the Taliban and al-Qaida to perform the "sacred duty" of helping locate and kill the filmmaker.

This quote from Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmad Balor would, if uttered by an American, be a good example of speech calculated to produce imminent lawless action and reasonably likely to produce such action.

It strongly advocates the specific action that is being incited, and even provides an inducement. (There can, of course, be no incitement that does not involve advocating the act being incited—to incite riot one must, at the very least, advocate having a riot. And to incite murder, in this case, one must advocate the murder. So simply saying, "This film-maker is evil and deserves to die," would be opinion, not incitement.)

"The constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action." —Brandenburg v Ohio
