New York "Green-ing" Empire State To Honor Muslim Holiday

Over at LGF, yesterdays "Jaw-dropper of the Day" lived up to it's name:
__________

New York’s iconic Empire State Building is to be lit up green from Friday in honor of the Muslim holiday of Eid, the biggest festival in the Muslim calendar marking the end of Ramadan, officials said.
“This is the first time that the Empire State Building will be illuminated for Eid, and the lighting will become an annual event in the same tradition of the yearly lightings for Christmas and Hannukah,” according to a statement.
Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the fasting month, is expected to be celebrated in New York from Friday, depending on when the new moon is sighted, and the city’s tallest skyscraper will remain green until Sunday.
Built in the early 1930s, the 443-meter-tall (1,454-feet-tall) Empire State Building was first lit up with colored lighting in 1976, when red, white and blue lights were used to mark the American Bicentennial.

I can't believe that I served for and fought for this country against the very muslim powers that made 9-11 possible, and now, my country would consider this lunacy.

I had planned a trip to New York to see the sights and visit some family there. Now I am re-thinking that trip.
I don't think I have anything in common with New York, and now I'm not in a mood to see it.

Enjoy your Dhimmitude, New York. You deserve it.
