By your reasoning if I believed anything strongly enough it would be ok for me to go kidnap people who opposed me on the issue.

Peeing is assault? Are you sure there's enough distinction between a drawing of soiling the pope's garments is different enough from actually soiling them?
The distinction may be legal, but this is hardly a legal matter. It may be perfectly legal for me to call someone's mother a whore, and then photoshop that person's mother and distibute the obscenities (particularly if that person's mother did happen to be a whore, and no loss of capital in the defamation of character transpired), but that doesn't make it right.
