It finally happened...

The story sounds awfully familiar to the so called BOROMIR TEMPTATION... this "It can be used against the enemy" thing... tell him to watch the movie !!!

In most of our groups we would have jumped him and destroyed the statue whilst holding him down... not much discussion nowdays

Well... in my group, I try to make sure people stick to their alignments. However, I also make it clear that the characters can do anything that they want, AS LONG AS THEY ARE WILLING TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES. Sometimes it makes a planned adventure turn out differently, but it's better than them feeling like it's a set plot...

Well, perhaps he is sticking to his alignment. Genocidal thoughts arent inherently evil in D&D. Look at how most parties treat orcs for example, especially those with more militant Paladins.

That said using such an item on Humans is a bit more troublesome.

In any case, if his actions are going to ruin the game its understandable.
