The ancient Israelites also smashed the idols when they entered the Promised Land after leaving Egypt. As a Protestant Christian, I don't believe Chri...

It’s not a graven image, it’s literally a representation (in stone or whatever material) of the human body Christ himself had.

Graven image is something where one tries to represent God or Gods under some other (false) image such as a golden calf etc and worship it (the image)

But we know God became a man and died on a cross, so we know we’re not falsely representing God himself when we make crucifixes, they are a perfect reminder of the perfect sacrifice by the perfect man. We are showing once again his judgment seat, his throne, and his victory.

We are showing the other religions what separates us from them.

You mentioned that “give Muslims and Jews reasons to condemn Christians as idolaters, and to reject Christianity as false.”

On the contrary we’re giving them exact reason (showing forth) why Christianity is true; God became man, died on a cross and rose again. The cross IS Christianity.

If they break a cross, they condemn themselves.

Finally, if we got rid of crosses, icons, Churches, by your logic, you’re very person aught to be “smashed” because you yourself are the new temple of the God who created heaven and earth, and you worship him in spirit and truth there, that in fact is an even greater idolatry, and scandal than any statue, which aught to condemn Christianity as both false, and utterly absurd. Thankfully we’re in the business of “absurdity”. Glory be to God.
