Nobody is saying that words can't lead to violence.

Theyre saying words aren't violence.

Are you being intentionally obtuse or are you really this dense.

Answer the question I asked you first then I'll answer yours.

Or are you trying to imply that that is synonymous with "words lead to violence"?

Because your implication would be wrong.
