Note that there are no statues left on the outside. This is beccause of Islam not allowing images in their mosques. Canterbury cathedral also has no statues outside - a result of the reformation. but, if you are interested, there was an earlier time in the history of the church ffrom about 700 A.D. where statues were also destroyed because of idolatry. This perieod is called the Iconoclast. Iconoclasm is still a nice metaphor for rebels and change mongers.
