Activists from the Ukrainian feminist group Femen cut down a wooden crucifix in the center of the country’s capital, Kiev, on Friday in support of members of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot whose trial on hooliganism charges comes to an end today.
A video posted online showed a topless blond Femen protester wearing red shorts, with the words “Free Riot” scrawled across her chest and arms, cutting the cross with a chainsaw and then pulling it down using arope pulled by two other activists, and then posing with her arms extended crucifix-style.

Frankly I don't care what political statement this women was trying to make or how she made it, Her right to say it should be protected.
Once again I am reminded why America is still a great nation, if not a little bit tarnished.
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees *brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they *said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?” They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, “ He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

So, in your opinion, if making that statement involves destruction of private or public property, then it's OK? If some one were to to something similar on or to your property, would you still feel the same way? Did you feel the same way when Los Angeles and London were burning in riots?
Making your opinion heard is one thing, vandalism and damage of property is another.
If a law is unjust a man is not only right to disobey it he is obligated to do so

OP
If your god is offended by the destruction of such petty symbols, then your god dont deserve to be worshiped
And if you think people who destroy such petty symbols deserve to get their freedom supressed, then you deserve the same.
