It is NOT MORAL to use violence (or threats of violence) to change the behavior of peaceful people. This is true no matter what they are doing: whether they are talking to each other, writing to each other, meeting with each other, worshipping with each other, or, yes, trading with each other.
Even if you COULD successfully direct the behavior of other people who have their own plans, IT IS NOT MORAL TO DO SO.
