This is definitely an interesting discussion and I'm looking forward to the answer we receive from askimam.com. We want to be careful not to label something as haram simply because it is from a different culture. Islam does not prohibit someone from leaving their old culture behind in ALL areas when they revert as Islam spreads.

When we are being careful to not imitate the kuffar, it is so we remain distinct and do not fall to Shaytan by trying to hide our Islam or making the same mistakes they did. There is nothing wrong with doing something they do in our own way.... like graffiti. The way he is doing it remains distinct. Trust me, illegal graffiti doesn't normally carry messages like this. Alhamdulilah, he is bringing a positive message to the masses.

Again, I look forward to the response from askimam.com as I do not have the knowledge to say whether putting ayat from the Qur'an on external buildings is halal.
