No wonder Hitler conned them so well. There was a large Dutch Nazi party. One of their posters below:
Translation: "With Germany against capitalism"
On September 11, Wouter Mijland a Dutch artist living in Dresden, Germany, plans to create a monument — not for the innocent victims or heroes who perished on that fateful day — but for fallen Taliban fighters. According to an interview in a German-language blog, Mijland alleges his monument will look like a large jelly can with a heart in the middle.
Mijland, who allegedly claims the Islamic threat “is a product of Western propaganda,” calls his monument a “cheap provocation.” He also said that “some people think differently about the 11 September 2001 and its consequences on the polarization and stigmatization of people of Muslim religion.”

Yes, well, history and historical forces and influences can be viewed from multiple angles - hence the profession of 'historian'.
Well maybe if you don't murder thousands of people you won't be stigmatized. Applauding the murder of thousands of people doesn't make you look good either. Islam has earned its reputation.

Ok - I think the Dutch/Nazi thing quite a stretch, even for you JJR - but this is just typical publicity seeking by some obscure artist.
The raison d'etre of art is to provoke and modern artists in particular exist just to draw attention to themselves.
