Althoug it is true that Anders act did look a bit teroristish. It grabs you more than that of isabela. Certainly because of the choice. In the sense of Anders did it with having in mind what the it would spark a war. While isabela thought only of the money and not so much had the intention of killing innocent people but ok thats my opinion.
Isabella also gets off with less moral culpability because the Arishok was a complete and total dick throughout the whole process. He
never dealt in good faith with anyone around him.
Hell, if he hadn't lied to the viscount from day one about why he was really there, he'd probably have gotten his book back within a year. How long could Isabela have stayed hidden if the local authorities and the Coterie had both been given a description of the book and a description of the thief who took it? How long could the schlub who was hiding out with the book in his closet have lasted with the entire city searching for him?
Nobody rational
expects stealing a book to lead to an invasion and a war. This is because society has rules for what you do to recover your stolen property, even the really really precious and unique stolen property. And those rules don't include 'Conquer an entire friggin' city'.
The other part about mekka i do disagree i mean in war churces ar offenly burned it is a place of sanctuary where people can hide or seek refuge a safe place not something you want your enemy to have.
There's rules for that as well; churches only become valid targets if enemy combatants are using them as military bases, or to store weapons and ammo in. Hell, from everything I know about the current War on Terror, about the only way you can get permission to even shoot near, much less at, a mosque is if there's a machine gun sticking out the mosque window and actively in the process of throwing lead at you.
Since the templar barracks and armory are nowhere near the Chantry cathedral in Hightown; they're all the way over in the Gallows; then Anders' bomb should have gone to the Gallows. Although since the mages live next door he'd have needed a smaller bomb, yes.
It can also give people strenght through faith meaning destroying an artifact or building of such value will bring down moral meaning people will lose hope so it was quit the strategic point Anders made if you ask me.
You are never going to get me to agree that things that blatantly at against the Geneva Conventions are morally justified; I'll just tell you that right now.
And even in modern times these kind of stuff happen [snip]
We can all the name the names of some people who still do that kind of stuff in the modern world; its just, those people are generally not considered to be proper moral examples.
