I thought Protestants didn't believe in idolatrous things like statues?

Surely some mistake.

I tend to doubt they were bowing down before the MLK statue and praying to it, or giving gifts to it. Also, the MLK statue was of an oridary man, not an attempt at making an image of God in the flesh.

Nobody’s offering religious veneration of any sort to an image of Martin Luther.

Careful there, if you start derailing serious religious threads with shallow attempts at sarcastic humor, it may lead to more “altar boy” jokes than you care to think about.
Just sayin...
