  Vandalism
Vandalism (capitalized) is hostility to the arts and literature, or willful destruction or defacement of their monuments, said to be in the spirit of the Vandals in their attacks on the Roman Empire.
Some well-known cases of vandalism in Ireland included the blowing up of Nelson's Pillar, a large monument in the centre of Dublin, by a group of republicans in 1966.
Some vandalism qualifies as culture jamming or sniggling - artistic statements in their own right that are illegal and destructive from the point of view of the legal system, but are done with a creative and artistic impulse.

 Talk:Vandalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This I believe circumvents POV policy since it is an example and if placed prominently may encourage other would be vandals to either edit that particular text (hopefully to something beneficial) or realise they're not the first muppet to vandalise the vandalism page.
An adult discussion of political-religious vandalism might begin by mentioning the defaced monuments of Akhnaten and the wave of vandalism that swept the Roman Empire in the wake of the Theodosian decrees.
These other POV on vandalism should be recognized by those who may find your comparison to rape to be not only insulting, but biased and extreme, with no real connection to the work itself.

 Brendan Smyth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brendan Smyth (1927–1997) was a child molester from Northern Ireland, who used his position as a Catholic priest to obtain access to his victims.
In some cases, the Order did not inform the diocesan bishop in Ireland or the U.S. that Smyth had a history of sexual abuse and should be kept away from children.
His arrest led to the collapse of an Fianna Fáil/Labour coalition government in 1994 when the incompetent handling of an extradition request from the RUC by the Irish Attorney-General's office led to a further delay of some months in Smyth facing trial.

The true interests of the whole community in Northern Ireland require that the majority should not fail in fairness and generosity towards all their fellow citizens and that the minority should play a truly constructive part which it is the United Kingdom Government's firm determination should be made available to them.
But the people of Northern Ireland, and indeed of the United Kingdom as a whole, can rest assured that there is no purpose to which the Government is more firmly committed than the restoration of the rule of law in Northern Ireland, and whatever means are necessary to that end will be made available.
But Northern Ireland has been the focus of speculation and uncertainty for a prolonged period already, and there can be little doubt that as long as such uncertainty continues to exist, it will be exploited by those who seek to prey upon the fears of the communities.
