Islamofascism: In a monumental nod to political correctness, the Empire State Building is to be lit up green in honor of the Muslim holiday Eid. The separation of Islam from terror is officially complete.
Six years ago, Islamic terrorists screamed "Allah is Greatest!" as they slammed fuel-laden jumbo jets into two other New York skyscrapers. Six years ago, New Yorkers were worried about the Green Menace.
Now, for the first time, New York's remaining famous skyscraper will be aglow in green the color of Islam to mark the end of Ramadan, a month of intense Islamic renewal. Officials say it'll be an annual event, in the same tradition of the yearly skyscraper lighting for Christmas and Hanukkah.
What's next, Ground Zero festooned with crescent moons and stars?
Political correctness is running amok. Last week, the White House held a Ramadan dinner for Muslim leaders and activists, even though we are still waiting for them to condemn Islamic terror groups by name.
To their delight, President Bush praised, and even suggested we all worship Allah. "I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian or any other religion, prays to the same God," he said, adding "I believe that Islam is a great religion that preaches peace."

Going green six years later
I always knew there was something I didn't like when we are told to "go green"
This is criminal.
I was am listening to Steve Emerson blast Alan Colmes. He called him an apologist for radical Islam.
At the company I work for, we have a couple of young Saudis. They bought us donuts in honor of their Eid holiday! (Hope those donuts weren’t made with lard...)
Interestingly, the young Saudi woman wears regular American casual clothes.
In any case, the Empire State Building should not go green. Do Muslim countries light up with Christmas colors in December?
Honoring the religion that killed 3,000 New Yorkers.. way to go.
I feel sick. This nation was built on Judeo-Christian values.
of course the democraps/progressives/liberals etc. are so friggin miserable and empty in their own souls they love anything that brings that same empty/angry feeling upon anyone else. Somehow, perversly, it makes them feel good if but for a brief moment.
I do not enjoy seeing Muslims in my country.
You, Madame, are no dumb blonde! Allahu fubar!
Oh. I thought this was going to be about circumcision.
These decisions are probably made by those who don’t believe in any religion, so it’s no big deal whether they honor Allah.
However, most of them will draw the line at any reference to Jesus Christ.
Well, the Empire State Building was hit by an airplane once upon a time.
That is just heinous. If 9/11 hadn’t happened, well, then no one would care, but...
Egad!
