Looks like Semi-Violence is actually a reality, and not a bunch of bullocks(which it is)
One more piece on The Onion website which doesn't seem too far away from the truth.Very frightening actually..

The character here is of an Iraqi cleric/scholar Al-Naqib who is called the apostle of semi-violence, whatever that means. Here are some of his pseudo legendary quotes.

"Violence is not the solution," al-Naqib writes in his bestseller in the Middle East, Practicing Semi-violence. "It is only approximately 19/20ths of the solution. We should not work toward the total annihilation of all who oppose us—just some of them. And perhaps it is best we practice occasional mercy for the innocent, such as the young, who can easily recuperate."

'I denounce those who kill vast numbers, for the death of a few—the death of even one, if that one is well-chosen—spreads my message far and wide."

This might be the new face of Islamic Fundamentalism, but all in all, it’s the same friggin thing.

He was imprisoned for two days for criticizing the 9/11 attacks, his assessment was that it would have been better to bring down only one of the towers.

No wonder then that, he has a huge following especially in Iraq, where he is from and other parts of the Middle East. He also is the winner of this year's Mideast Peace Prize, an award given to him by the Yemeni government this year.

The worst thing is he is being called the Iraqi ‘Gandhi’ which is obviously derogatory yet ironical in some way.
