He doesn't defend the destruction of the item in post #160. Just states that it offends him.

I agree that probably in most cases desecrations of religious symbols is a cheap way to create publicity.
I disagree that the item in question should be destroyed. As I said before, no physical intrusion is allowed in a civilised society. However, the person who made it (I cannot say created, because I do not consider it a piece of art) would never earn respect from me and would be always looked upon with disgust, a cheap trickster. Someone who has no regard for how other people feel. A very selfish, cruel child (although child's cruelty can be forgiven).
