A video clip out of Oxford, UK shows two protesters demanding the removal of the Cecil Rhodes statue before admitting they don’t even know who he is.

Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside Oxford’s Oriel College yesterday to demand the removal of “imperialist” Rhodes statue because it is “incompatible” with the city’s “commitment to anti-racism.”

However, it appeared as though some of them didn’t even know why they were there.

“Do you support tearing down the statue?” two men, who both appear to be Muslims, are asked by a woman.

“Yeah,” they respond.

Penny Lane signs defaced in Liverpool over slavery claims

Road signs on Penny Lane in Liverpool have been defaced over claims they are linked to slave merchant James Penny. The markers had the word Penny blacked out and the word racist written above them on Thursday night.

The city's International Slavery Museum said it was not certain whether the street, which was immortalised in a song by The Beatles in 1967, was named after the 18th Century slave merchant.

A spokeswoman said "more research is needed" to clarify the name's origin.

City tour guide Jackie Spencer, who runs Blue Badge Tour Guides, said she was "absolutely livid".

"It's pure ignorance," she said.

"We've researched it and it has nothing to do with slavery. James Penny was a slave trader, but he had nothing to do with the Penny Lane area." ...

The key phrase in the report is "appear to be Muslims".  Pious Sunnis support tearing down all statues.  Sunni Islam is strictly aniconic, regarding all representational art as idolatry.  They don't need to know anything about a statue other than the fact that it's a statue to support tearing it down.
