These kinds of arguments seem very similar to the Israelis arguments with their occupation of Palestine.. The numbers on one side are 10-100 times higher than the other, with one group having losses so high it is mere statistics while every loss by the other is mourned individually.

As for religious artifacts, I find the whole concept of institutional Christianity a mockery of the Jesus from the bible. It is hard to imagine Jesus in a world where Rome remade it's coins with his picture accepting his new role and mocking the downtrodden while crying if they take revenge on the boots of the establishment.
