NEW YORK: For the first time in its history, the world famous Empire State Building here will be lit in green from Friday to Sunday in celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr.
So far the landmark tower is lighted in traditional colours every year only on the occasion of Christmas and the Jewish festival Hannukah. From this year on, lighting on Eid too will become an annual event.
At the end of Ramadan, Muslims throughout the world observe a joyous three-day celebration which marks the end of Ramadan. In Islam, the colour green symbolizes a happy occasion.
Soaring 1,454 feet above Midtown Manhattan, the Empire State Building was recently named America's most favourite building in the poll conducted by American Institute of Architects.

how completely stupid and naive can the city leaders of New York be. Do they honestly think that this gesture is going to get them any kind of consideration of mercy from the radical muslim jihadists. don't they know by now that the only way these islamofascists are ever going to stop waging jihad against our nation is by everyone of us completely surrendering to their brand of radical islam. WAKE UP NEW YORK! you obviously have learned nothing from 9/11 and sadly seem to be on course of suffering another such attack.

I doubt the city leaders did this. PC owners I would bet.

Why not change the search lights at Ground Zero to green too.

Red would be more appropriate for all the blood that has been spilled and will be spilled in the name of islam.

Why not just cut to the chase and put the minarets up now.

What a slap in the face to all those people who died on 9-11
To: mfnorman
From this year on, lighting on Eid too will become an annual event. Well, not really from this year on. Only until they fly planes into it.

Nothing to knock down at Ground Zero.
The empire state building owners thinks that pandering will keep their building standing.
Idiots.
To: mfnorman
I guess they can project images of beheadings, people becoming pink mist and goats herds all at the same time to further inspire those following this moon cult. /sarc
