Oh, the horror

Any country that desires to eradicate or force religion is horrible ...

Christ was hung on a stake, not a cross. A cross is a Pagan symbol introduced by the Catholics.

I don't see it that way.
But I am very biased with religion.
I would love for Islam to be eradicated from the USA (and the whole world for that matter).

Crucifixes have nothing to do with Christianity... so I am Okay with that.

Christianity is not a religion of sight, but of good conscience.

Why are you against saying "China is horrible"? Or "Islam is horrible". I will let you make a red herring comment then I will answer for you.

The radical element, certainly ... which would be covered under anti-terrorism laws.

I would have been ok with that as well olinger: Jud 11 :burnlib; however, look at the images. These appear to be crosses. Ac 11:26

What China did is horrible. Radical Islam is horrible. Whether you comment or not isn't relevant to the discussion or my views.

It's just as silly that Christians erect all those crosses thinking that they are "spreading Christianity" as it is for governments to tear them down thinking that they are "eliminating Christianity".

It seems there are a lot of idiots in the world that can't tell the difference between a symbol and what the symbols is meant to represent. No Christian has ever been dissuaded from his beliefs by someone tearing down a cross, any more than any non-Christian has ever been converted by putting one up (you know, like installing religious icons in court houses).
