The Empire State Building Goes Green in Honor of Ramadan
- Posted by Beth (Blue Star Chronicles) on October 13th, 2007 filed in Islamofascism, The War, WTF
We are continuing to appease ourselves into sharia law. Jane, at Armies of Liberation, tells me its called a ‘Civil Jihad’. Its a quiet, almost imperceptible surrender to an enemy most in our country believes doesn’t exist. The Jihadis are here and working their way into our culture while our Soldiers are gone and our denial is in full force.
Empire State Building goes green for Eid
For the first time in its history, the Empire State Building in New York was lit in green in celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr.
It will be green till Sunday.
So far, the landmark tower has been lit 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 celebrate for three days to mark 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.
I guess if the World Trader Center towers were still standing they might be green in celebration of the muslim holiday. Unfortunately, they aren’t and the Empire State Building is left as the tallest building in New York.
Civil Jihad and Sharia By The Inch.
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.”
This President has proven himself to be a huge disappointment in his inability or unwillingness to remain steadfast in his fight against Islamofascism. While we are going about our daily lives as though there isn’t a war, we are ever so quickly slipping into submission.
Worse, we have Soldiers in another country fighting a war, while we give away the homeland.

What others are saying:
Nothing yet on Buddhists or Hindus. Or whether Jewish and Christian holidays will be celebrated by similar illuminations in Dubai.
I don’t know how many people complained about it, but it must have been a significant number.
The managers of the Empire State Building were determined to make their appeasement gesture anyway.
The Winds of Jihad calls it Voluntary Dhimitude
Doctor Bulldog guesses New Yorkers have forgotten that the muslims already had a lighting ceremony in New York - back in 2001.
Velvet Hammer has a Dhimmitude Sharia round-up.
Woman Honor Thyself explains the history of Ramadan and has this to say:
They can make it neon green for all I care..There is only one color New Yorkers and Americans who don’t want Sha-riah will see: …Red.
Muslim extremists destroyed the last two tallest towers in New York.
Maybe the owner of the next tallest building thinks this will keep his tower safe?

thanks for the link..is this outrageous or what! :o
PK says:
I have been seething over this all day. What can we do? They keep chipping away at our resolve. This is an insult to the 2996 souls who perished on 9/11/01 just a few blocks away. Why not just place a white flag on top, and hand the keys over to OBL? Fucking stupidity is what it is.
PK says:
Correction! The 2996 souls did not just perish on 9/11. They were murdered! 2996 human beings were murdered by the religion of peace!
Sparta says:
You think they’ll make it green for St. Patrick’s Day, since there are way, WAY more Irish (and Catholics!) than there are Muslims in this country?
Will they make it blue on Rosh Hashanah, since there are more Jews than Muslims?
I fuckin’ doubt it.
Whose bright goddamned idea was this, anyway?
Sparta says:
Don’t mind me, I’m fixing a g**gle ad. There’s one in the sidebar related to this post, and it’s making me f’ing sick. (Nobody who reads this blog would ever click it, anyway!)

In the world especially in Europe, Americans are regardeds as the most stupid of people. You get so easily brain washed by media. You believe everything TV throws at you, and six years on you still believe that Muslims carried out the World Trade Centre Tragedy. Wake up you thick Americans, it was your own government that destroyed the Towers and killed all those innocent people!!!!!!!!
Sparta says:
Oh, looky here, a troofer! LOL!
BANNED. Happily BANNED.
Becky says:
For all you complete idiots. The Empire State Building is privately owned and can do whatever they please. If this was a public-owned government facility, you should be worried, but of course all you numbskulls just take in whatever Faux news presents, sad you cannot think for yourself.
Sparta says:
For the real idiot, Becky:
No fucking shit, Sherlock. It doesn’t mean we have to LIKE it, dumbass.
Also, I watch “Faux” News and didn’t see this story on it, so (as is typical of stupid libs) you obviously have no clue what you’re talking about, which is obviously why you call it “faux” news. You Fox-phobes are all the same–vilifying something about which you know absolutely nothing.
Learn to write in complete, coherent sentences before you stupidly spew out the word “idiots,” you silly cunt.
raz0r says:
Hey Becky,
As a private building, they are completely free to do as they please. Which would also would mean free to say “No, not going to be green”. And the occupants of said building are also free to leave and find new digs.
Roxi says:
I think this is about the dumbest idea ever! What asshole thought this one up! Yea, light up the Empire State Building green for Ramadan, at least it will make it easier to see in case the Muslims decide to fly a plane into it!
Marc says:
Sparta, you need to do some research before you make some of these posts. There are tons of holidays that the ESB is colored to symbolize. It is lit up in green for st. patricks day and it is lit in blue and white for chanukah. It is also lit up for different charities and for different causes. I think i’ve even see some african countries unification or something like that.
Yes, we all know that the 19 idiots on 9/11 were radical muslims. There were also muslims that died on 9/11 and there are many muslims that are NYC citizens that do not share the views of the radicals. Respecting other religions and other peoples believes is something that separates us from the radicals and allows us to live peacefully with members of various religion in this country.
Sparta says:
Marc, that’s why I ASKED and said “I fuckin’ doubt it” in my comment. I DIDN’T KNOW.
Good grief.
Sparta says:
Also, just because it’s the “American” thing to do and it “separates us from the radicals” doesn’t mean everyone has to like it. It also doesn’t mean that if it weren’t done, we’d be just like the “radicals.” That’s a bit of a stretch, don’t you think?
