That type of response was always viewed, by me, as a way to deflect getting into trouble and it never worked. My answer was that it didn't matter what their sisters or brothers did wrong because the topic of the discussion was what that individual child was doing wrong.
I see the same thing happening here. It would be appropriate for the Christians on this site to say, "That was a crappy thing to do and I condemn any religious person that did it." To add, "But another group also did it also" comes off as trying to justify the vandalism in some way. It's a tu quoque - You did too!

They're just behaving in a Biblical fashion; destroying non-Christian culture where they find it. Just like in Acts.

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Isn't that the sort of thing the Taliban does?
