"...the most essential thing is that the people must be educated in such a way... that they will avoid and shrink from perpetrating crimes, so that the crime itself will appear to them as the greatest chastisement.. (153:6) ...if someone oppresses, injures, and wrongs another, and the wronged man retaliates, this is vengeance, and is censurable... (154:1) But the community has the right of defense and of self-protection.." ('Abdul-Baha)
(154:2)
