Not one day – not twenty-four hours after the Chattanooga jihad mass murder – the symbol of American individualism, capitalism, and the capital of the world, the Empire State Building, one of the foremost symbols of American freedom, celebrated the Muslim “holiday” of Eid al-Fitr, the end of Ramadan. Ramadan is the most violent month of the year in the Islamic world, because Ramadan is the month in which Muslims renew their devotion to Allah, and violent jihad is a supreme act of devotion to Allah.
All told, 2,988 people were shot, burned, blown up, beheaded, or hacked to death in the cause of Islam during this “holy” month, with 3,696 wounded, beating last year’s savage human toll of 2,429, with 2,028 wounded. This is not political correctness; this is sharia adherence. Wherever your sympathies may lie, the idea that the Empire State Building would turn green for Eid not a day after five U.S. soldiers were murdered in cold blood in the cause of Islam on American soil is surrender. We have indeed been conquered.
Wouldn’t it have been appropriate and respectful for the owners of the Empire State Building, in honor of our fallen heroes, if they had to commemorate Eid at all, to drape the Empire State Building in red, white and blue? What “moderate Muslim,” what Muslim of conscience, would have or could have objected?
...
This is not tolerance. This is surrender.

It was rainbow lights a few weeks ago.
Maybe hoping not to be the next target of the ROP.
Yea, that’s a bit confusing. They celebrate Gays and they celebrate Muslims who love to throw Gays off Tall Buildings.
Wait, the Empire State Building a really Tall Building.
Coincidence, you be the Judge.
*The privately-owned building receives hundreds of requests each year to be lit in particular colors for various causes and events.Although it does not make its selection process public, it does not accept requests for political campaigns, religious figures and organizations, or personal events.*

HUH?Someone didn't get the memo.
What does Ramadan even MEAN? Isn’t that the period of time when hostilities are set aside, so that the Islamic community may reflect on peaceful pursuits, or was that just some more of their propaganda?
This a tradition more observed in the breach than in the fulfillment.
They ain’t converting me.
Throughout history appeasement has never worked. Humans in power never learn anything at all!
It should be blood red for all the martyrs at the hands of Isis.
Sorry UCAN....I’m so friggin’ pissed at Hussein I could spit!
I’m going out to walk the dog and cool off. ;(
And they can’t seem to understand why Trump caught fire.
The people who own this building also snubbed Mother Teresa when she visited NYC about 15 years ago. Refused to light it up for her, trotting out the religious excuse.
Seems they only have s problem with the Christian religion.
Yup, and we all know about Green Lantern’s sexual orientation. If I were a Muslim I’d be offended....
There really isn’t any good reason to allow mooselimbs to stay in the USA anymore.
Too dangerous.
When Saudi Arabia allows a Church to be built in their shitty “country”, then we might strike up a “conversation”
Till then:
ALL MOSLEMS OUT OF USA
Submitted to the ChiComs, too.
All of yinz said what I was thinking and more, I think this is a travesty and traitorous. The only thing I can add is what my late mother said, “I wish we were back in the world of Andy Williams.”
I’m just going to go ahead and pretend it’s for the New York Jets
They try to blow up the city countless times...yes yes let’s light an enduring city icon to honor their pathetic holiday.
Soon they’ll do the same to the One World Trade Tower.

Agree one-hundred percent. But mad mo can't tolerate competition. The mullahs and imams know that if their followers had a choice this would be the end of Islam.
