I'm not in the least bit religious - but to say this is to completely invalidate a HUGE number of people's beliefs.
This kid, whether it's fully thought out or not, is making a strong religious (and offensive) statement to a large number of people around the world. It's totally within his rights to do so, but to think or to believe that people shouldn't react to it is wrong and unrealistic. I agree the clerk is in the wrong in this instance, but for the kid to act like a victim and make hooplah out of it and act innocent in it all, is wrong in my opinion.
I personally do not believe there is a huge difference between racially driven animosity and violence between real people and wearing the inverted symbol of one of the largest belief structures ever known to man.
