A Sculpture Featuring the Flag of Saudi Arabia Will Be Removed From Ground Zero.
A sculpture that features the flag of Saudi Arabia will be removed from Ground Zero in New York following outcry from 9/11 victim’s groups, the BBC reports.
Fifteen of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudi nationals, though the Gulf kingdom has repeatedly denied involvement in the 2001 tragedy that claimed nearly 3,000 lives.
The artwork, called Candy Nations, comprises a series of oversized sweets wrapped in flags of the G20 nations, including Argentina, France, South Korea and Saudi Arabia. French artist Laurence Jenkell said she created the work in 2011 “to celebrate mankind” and “pay tribute to People of the entire world.”
It has toured 25 countries around the world, and arrived at the former World Trade Center site last month. The exhibit intended to run until Feb. 28, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Please Mayor Deblasio, run for President!
Thanks Hat! It gets worse. Apparently they are going to place it at JFK??? WTF? They hate us for our freedoms! The mass murders started at the airports.
“– Islam Sculpture to Be Removed From Ground Zero”
…it’s a start…now, if we can just have ISLAM removed from Ground Zero, and everwhere ELSE as well, it will be a HUGE improvement…
Removing whoever approved it in the first place should be the next step.
There is no stupidity like New York City stupidity, and de Blasio is its prophet!
Good riddance. Now drop it off at the Fishkill landfill with the rest of the refuse.
@joe6pak, absolutely correct.
But that person/persons should also be identified to the public.
In the future, you’ll wish you had also removed Islamists from America.
Trust me on this.
Can’t have no pictures of a weapon here, someone will get triggered.
Should I even say triggered? Oh, well.
I hope the families of the Pentagon and Penn. victims raise a fuss about the sculpture being at an airport. Especially a NY airport.
Put a burka on the Brave Girl statue and chain it to this thing.
Don’t mind the urine smell NOW – that’s ON purpose. 😡
