Empire State Building to go green for Muslim holiday
8 hours ago

NEW YORK (AFP) — New York's iconic Empire State Building is to be lit up green from Friday in honor of the Muslim holiday of Eid, the biggest festival in the Muslim calendar marking the end of Ramadan, officials said.

"This is the first time that the Empire State Building will be illuminated for Eid, and the lighting will become an annual event in the same tradition of the yearly lightings for Christmas and Hannukah," according to a statement.

Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the fasting month, is expected to be celebrated in New York from Friday, depending on when the new moon is sighted, and the city's tallest skyscraper will remain green until Sunday.

Built in the early 1930s, the 443-meter-tall (1,454-feet-tall) Empire State Building was first lit up with colored lighting in 1976, when red, white and blue lights were used to mark the American Bicentennial.

An estimated seven million Muslims live in the United States.

Disgusting, why doesnt NYC just put out a big "come on muslims hit us again, and this time like you mean it" sign and get it over with.

7 million is a HUGE overblown estimate.

'Disgusting' is the first word that came to my mind. Somewhere, Osama smiles.

Manhattan has been completely taken over by the Muslim Nazis.

Do they do this bending over backwards for any Jewish holidays?

Wallstreet is pretty much closed if a business day falls on an important Jewish holiday, but I think this has more to do with the absence of the critical mass of Jewish investors more than a repect for our traditions.

Britain has bent over backwards to be PC to muslims and they havn't been spared any bombings. When will NYC wake up?

Australia is like paradise compared to the USA with no affirmative action, and worldwide threats...

we also dont have the same level of sick degenerate self hating people especially in our government and support Israel quite significantly..

This is bullshiite!! WTF were these morons thinking?!

This is very sad to hear. I don't know what the management of the Empire State Building could be thinking. It would be better to turn of the lights completely for that day.

Empire State Ramadan Travesty

Yes, they really are planning to turn the Empire State Building green for Ramadan. In the city that suffered the worst Islamic terrorist attack in history.

And Debbie Schlussel’s cousin is to blame. http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2007/10/my_cousin_mallo.html

Maybe next year, if the building’s still standing, Christo can wrap it in a gigantic Hamas headband to show how inclusive and diverse New York is. Not to mention, trendy and artistic.

Here’s the contact page at the Empire State Building Site. http://www.esbnyc.com/modules/SE_faq_frame.cfm?section=red   (Click the ‘Contact Us’ tab at the top of the page.) Don’t be rude, and don’t rant and rave. But if the spirit moves you, let the managers of this historic building know how you feel about this.

Day after day it gets worse. We bend over and grab our ankles while muslims pour into this land, hell bent on killing us. And our leaders decide to suck up too the enemy. Little Israel is the canary in the coal mine, and no one seems too take heed of the disease that is killing us.

Ira Forman should have outrage over this like he does over anything Ann Coulter says.
