You can if there is no such thing as time.
Joking aside, and I realise this thread is about science and not philosophy/religion but.....
Many spiritual traditions claim there is no past, present and future and instead there is only now. So if there is only now, FTL doesn't violate anything.
It's a nice thought from a S/F writers point of view and a nice way around the whole issue of whether or not FTL could ever happen.
For the record I would put myself in the "We don't know everything and there may be a loop hole" camp. However, I realise that is pretty unlikely based on our current understanding.
