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.

Maybe Irene will have something to say about this.
It’s just a little too close to September 11 for the Empire State Building mgmt to do something like this.
I hope Hurrican Irene causes major damage to the building’s electrical system.
WTH????
Does any one in New York know if the Empire State building is decorated in any way for Christmas? Or any other religious holiday except the one listed in the article. I am curious if there is a double standard.
And nothing for Mother Teresa! Disgusting indeed.
Glowing like a radioactive green anal suppository ....
A beacon of Sharia law.
It is OUTRAGEOUS that the Empire State Building's lights will be changed in any way to pretend this barbaric cult is respectable. "Oh, thank you, Muslims, for not knocking down THIS building, too! Let us honor you and try to curry your favor! I hope any little commemoration we may make on 9/11 (and I promise it won't be much) will not offend you in any way."
It’s New York... who gives a cr#p?
They blame themselves and big, bad capitalism and Christians for MAKING the islamo-thugs fly planes into the WTC. I can’t wait for the libs to find out that the islamo thugs are serious about sharia law.
Dave Letterman found that out.
We’ll see how the Greenwich Village set and the Bloomberg quislings like being put up against the wall with a knife at their throats or kneeling before a video camera in front of an Islamic Flag and 5 guys holding knives. Should be a hoot.
The ‘Empire’ state tooting Islam while the graves of their victims are steps away.
May ‘Irene’ have the last word and the ‘Empire’ lights be smashed!
Doesn’t it go green for St. Pattys day too?
I demand the Empire State Building be lit with black-light light bulbs that emit dangerous abound of UVB radiation to celebrate the 53,025,923rd birthday of our Intergalactic Lord Xenu!
Also we need to change all the bulbs the next day to Infrared bulbs to celebrate the feast and orgy of the great recently made up religious figure I am going to call Garvweep the 6th.
Seriously, if I come up with a religion will I beable to demand the light bulbs inthe Empire State building be changed to my whims?
Or, it can be used as a target for 747’s to hit from the sky.
[ Doesn’t it go green for St. Pattys day too? ]
I think they did that for Earth Day too, so that really codifies that Environmentalism is a Religious Institution.
