Ok, looking past the source of this quote being from the BNP...
Maybe this is a really naive question, but how can a rape not be violent?
Unless a women is drugged, or incredibly afraid of violence (most likely because it has occured in the past), how can a "non-violent" rape occur?
If someone says "no" and resists an assualt (of any nature), presisting in physically forcing someone to do something is by definition violent.
So yeah. I can't really understand how this nut-jobs comments even make sense (in OR out of context).
Perhaps he SHOULD spend some time in a hardcore British jail, so he can experience first-hand the "non-violent" nature of rape.
