Muslims pray with Washington Monument in rear.

Actualy, the candles are a reference to Baal. Especially when y'all waft the smoke and wave your hands throught the flame. Passing throught the fire and sacrificing kids in the fire was a Baal thing.
Actually it's just a shape. No different than a sphere or a cube. It only takes on meaning when there is an intent to use it as such.
Just like all idols
Amo 5:26 But you have carried the booth of your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves. Isa 46:5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? Isa 46:6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
Isa 46:7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
