I don't see the relevance. The circumstances are completely different. I don't even know what 'moral status' means in relation to a statue. The Taliban and other fanatics adopt the same warped logic. An old black lady who used to be a maid in my ex-wife's home. Once said to me that she didn't even notice the statue. She passed it everyday for over sixty years walking through town. To her it was just some guy holding a rifle. But if one employs that line of thinking, where does it all end, what statues are allowed?
