This story has obvious religious and social implications, but the historical aspect of the tree is interesting to me. The story goes on to note the

I try to stay out of the most bitter religious debates because nobody convinces anybody of anything, for the most part. But on an historical and
cultural level, I see the destruction of anything this old and storied -- from any culture -- to be a great tragedy.
