<< It becomes cowardly to back away (imo) only when the challenge is to over come such fear to make a stand against injustice. >>

That's one type of instance of cowardly behavior. What makes it cowardly is the ignoble nature of the timidity. If one threatens to kill someone on public TV, then hides behind a lawyer when confronted by the threatened or by law enforcement officers, one is plainly, simply a coward.
