Yes. And so should incitement to cut off little girl's clitorises be.

Am I misunderstanding you or is there some subtle difference between saying something is OK and encouraging it to be done?

I wouldn't presume to speak for Helen, but I'd say that there's a difference between having a discussion about whether we should be allowed to do something and telling people that they should do it should garner different responses.

Precisely. Sam Harris may argue that torture can occasionally be justified, for example. He may not incite people to commit torture.

I agree with all you said there...but unfortunately the UK gov plays post modern word games...and what is harmful can/is defined by many as offensive speech (incl UK gov) and not FGM (0 FGM convictions since 2015). Conviction of joke last week ++++
