A multinational set of statues were setup in New York to commemorate the G20 countries. This became a problem though: one of those countries is the radical Islamist state of Saudi Arabia, that many see as the reason for 9/11. The Daily Wire reports:
One of 20 sculptures erected on the World Trade Center grounds that depict G20 countries as sugary delights may not have the same effect as the others; it’s a nine-foot-tall statue honoring Saudi Arabia that is wrapped in the nation’s emerald flag bearing the Arabic inscription, “There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is the prophet.”
15 of the 19 hijackers responsible for the murders of roughly 3,000 Americans came from Saudi Arabia.
In September 2016, former President Barack Obama vetoed a bill allowing lawsuits against foreign sponsors of terrorism. Speaking of The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, or JASTA, which would have permitted an exception to the doctrine of “sovereign immunity” so that one country could sue in another country’s courts, Obama issued a three-page veto message to Congress in which he stated that he had “deep sympathy” for the families of victims of terrorism, but making an exception would hinder a president’s ability to conduct foreign policy. He wrote, “I recognize that there is nothing that could ever erase the grief the 9/11 families have endured. Enacting JASTA into law, however, would neither protect Americans from terrorist attacks nor improve the effectiveness of our response to such attacks.”
Five days after Obama vetoed the bill, both houses of Congress passed the bill into law after overriding the veto.
With enough pressure, New York City could be forced to move the statues to respect the victims of 9/11.

It stands for terrorism against America so tear it down. We dont believe in mohmamma or pisslam its garbage
Yes, I definitely believe we need to take down the statue. It violates the memory of those who died in the 9/11 attacks. Also In America Mohammed is not the prophet and Allah is not our God. As a nation founded on Christian principles and the non violence hope of all Americans, we do not need to further this mind set and the violence that it provokes. Even though some Muslims are not violent they decree it through their writings and the way there country treats women and children and those who do not prescribe to their beliefs.
Pauline, your comment is right on target. I agree 100%
Pauline, I agree with you as you have written your comment, and the spirit which it was written.
And my own thoughts are we have allowed many beautiful statues, some over a hundred years old. Which were done by artist long dead and gone. Beautiful works of art to be taken down. And God knows what damage was done. That offended some poor soul. I call BS on that play. Well, now I’m offended! Not by the statue as much as I am that it is even a question. I’m offended that it has taken this long for someone to have the nads to question the statue. Jumping Jesus what is wrong with people ?
When the hell are all these film professionals going to make a FACT filled action replay of all 9-11-01. I mean all! With the best artist, producer and actors. Let’s make it a mini-series! We want it all included, make certain to cover the people that were effected. The husbands and wives. Sons and daughters. Mom’s and dads, and the aunt’s and uncles. We want to make sure there is a break down of cost. Yes of course there were lives, but we also need a dollar and cents breakdown. Some people that is all they understand. And there MUST at least a two hour block of this great film to show the men and women that worked from the first call to 911 to this day! The tragic effect it has had on all their lives. Brings tears to my eyes. It should be a class that must be taken and passed like we all had a class showing our states history. There needs to be one for 9-11-01 history. Period. Then just maybe it would put an end to some of these ridiculous claims and protests.
