removed an insult on their religious belief.
Vandalism isn't any less vandalism because it is motivated by
religion.
I think calling it "vandalism" is a bit of question-begging.
There's a
legitimate argument over what precisely Wikipedia should display. In
most cases, we display things regardless of whether they offend people,
although in some cases we don't out of respect for good taste (for
example, the photograph of human feces on [[human feces]] was removed by
consensus).
Now if it's a minority opinion and the person keeps insisting on it then
they can be banned for some other reason, but I don't think it's literal
"vandalism".
