In a sense yes. The threat to blow up a statue is a pretty extreme thing to do. It's a little hard to see this as less than a threat to the ideology behind the statue. The bombing of an abortion clinic may not be a direct attack on abortion supporters but it is a threat just the same as burning down churches.
