It's also a civillian building. Filled with civillians. If you condone blowing it up you condone terrorism.
Where are they, then? The cutscene shows only Elthina and two templars in the Chantry at the time of the explosion.
LOL at your reductive and nonsensical argument. I'm fully capable of supporting supposedly "terrorist" actions on a case by case basis, while disapproving of others.

So Merediths sister turning into an abomination and killing her entire family and village, up to 70 people, doesn't justify her views that mages should be firmly regulated.
Meredith's past, if anything, proves that she's too close to the issue to be objective. She's not fit to be in charge of mages at all.
But living in a world where you are feared for being able to melt peoples faces with a click of the fingers justifies Orsino putting the lives of an entire city at risk out of spite?
**** you're dense. Orsino's life was being directly threatened. Templars were charging into the Gallows to murder him and everyone he cared about.
Everyone has the right to defend the life and liberty of themselves and their friends with any and all of the tools at their disposal. That's what Orsino was doing
So one woman who is harboring an apostate, which is against the law, so therefore a criminal, and a group of xenephobic gypsies who have camped outside the city without permission and also harbor mages against the law.
Who cares if what they're doing is against the "law"? The "law" is not always right. If the law said that police were allowed to just barge into your house and rape your children, would that be right? For god's sake, employ your critical faculties.
Meanwhile Anders is killing an entire chantryfull of every-day citizens who are just going there to pray and have no relation to the templars at all.
The Chantry is clearly shown to be empty, you liar.
And Quentin is murdering women who look like his dead wife.
Quentin is insane.
And the mages are summoning demons on the streets to fight the Templars. And Orsino is unleashing a harvester to kill everyone.
Self-defense, perfectly justifiable.
The templars only harm you if you harbor mages.
Which is wrong. Hurting people for helping their loved ones is wrong.
And that's not even true. The templars harm people for being mages. They tear them away from their families, forbid them from having children, lock them up in tiny rooms, subject them to a test that pits them against powerful demons, rape their minds if they're arbitrarily judged to be"too weak" to take the aforementioned exam, or in the worst cases, slaughter the entire circle for being arbitrarily judged "irredeemable" by some bigoted old bat at the church.
The mages seem to put your life at risk on a whim even when you aren't involved with mages or templars at all. Because persecution justifies sociopathy.
When you corner an animal, you get bitten. Deal with it.
