It should not have been there in the first place, but after it was erected, should have been crowbarred over until it tipped, to plummet to the street and smithereens.

Yes. Yes.

They believe any image of Mohammed is blasphemous.

Sculpture figures prominently in the Corinthian architecture of the Court Building. One chamber features a frieze decorated with a bas-relief sculpture by Adolph A. Weinman of eighteen influential law-givers. The south wall depicts Menes, Hammurabi, Moses, Solomon, Lycurgus, Solon, Draco, Confucius and Octavian, while the north wall depicts Napoleon Bonaparte, John Marshall, William Blackstone, Hugo Grotius, Louis IX, King John, Charlemagne, Justinian and, you guessed it, Mohammad.

How Mohammad image ended up Supreme Court

The statue may be gone, but the depiction of mohammad in the frieze is still there.
