Rewriting that scene to make the characters say something else is no less a war on that culture than ISIS' destruction of archaeological sites is a war on the cultural heritage of the Middle East.
But who bastardized what? Christmas is historically an amalgamation of different pagan beliefs that were Christianized by Constantine and other early Christian figures. So are you saying the culture terrorists are the Christians themselves?
