The Empire State Building will celebrate the holiday, Eid-al-Fitr, by shining its world-famous tower lights green on August 30, 2011. In Islam, the color green symbolizes a happy occasion and the importance of nature.
Eid-al-Fitr, or “the Festival of Fast-Breaking,” is a joyous celebration which commemorates the end of Ramadan and marks the completion of a month of spiritual renewal for the global Muslim community.
During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims around the world observe a strict fast from sunrise until sunset, participate in prayer and demonstrate acts of kindness.
Soaring 1,454 feet (from base to antenna) above Midtown Manhattan, the Empire State Building is the “World’s Most Famous Office Building.” With new investments in infrastructure, public areas and amenities, the Empire State Building has attracted first-rate tenants in a diverse array of industries from around the world. The skyscraper’s robust broadcasting technology supports all major television and FM radio stations in the New York metropolitan market. The Empire State Building was named America’s favorite building in a poll conducted by the American Institute of Architects. The Empire State Building Observatory is one of the world’s most beloved attractions and is the region’s #1 tourist destination.

Are you kidding me. Where is a red light for Christmas, or a pink link light for Valentines. How about a yellow light for our soilders who are fighting for this country!! Why is no one bending over backwards for the AMERICAN people!! These muzzies need to return to thier home country and GTFO of mine!! Allah, the queeron, and muzzies are NOT welcome here. If the muzlims cant follow our laws and they way we do things, then dont need to be here. ENOUGH SAID!!
This is a crock of shit! This is American,not Mecca!
This. Is. Complete. Bull. Shyte! Are they serious? They don’t do this for other religions, so why bow to this murderous religion!? Man, this is just one step closer to Mooslem domination.
Just another example of how freaking politically correct the western world has become. Everything is offensive . EXCEPT if it has to do with Islam. When will we all realize that Islam started a war with the west and are using our freedoms agianst us to dominate the world.
This is awful!were are equal rights!this nonsense is getting like nazi germany!!why are not all the usual whiners whining?naacp 1hats up? Get ready people this will be worse that slavery ever was!!ladys. Get your burka’s made!
I guess a half moon sculpture on top of the Empire State would add to the green light. As soon as the carpet lickers outnumber illegal Mexicans then you can move the half moon off the Empire State to the White House. Hussein Obonga will be pleased with the look.
And by the way: Shouldn’t street lights shine “arabish green”? And make libtards sipping their latte feel good?
Hell, this world is falling apart.
Seems like the lights on the Empire State Building should be blood red.
I guess separation of church and state only counts for the Christian religion.If they were doing this for Christmas the ACLU would be up in arms. The Freedom From Religion people were after our small town last Christmas for our Nativity Scene on the courthouse lawn. I do believe this gives us fire power.
TWO WORDS PUKE GREEN
INSTEAD OF TRYIN TO PLEASE THESE MUSLIMS ,WHY DONT WE SPEND THE MONEY WE SPEND ON THE ELECTRICITY TO RUN THEM LIGHTS, AND FEED SOME OF OUR OWN PEOPLE RIGHT HERE WHO NEED IT. SO, ALL YOU MUSLIMS,” JEST GO ON BACK”
