I think they were going to use the World Trade Center, instead. Unfortunately, the Towers are presently unavailable for the weekend long observance.
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.
Sad to see that we are lending legitimacy to this evil cult of death that is at enmity with our nation.

Funny how its always the rednecks in trailer-land that are 'afeared' of the A-rabs. Perhaps when PRESIDENT Huckleberry takes office he will kick them all out, along with the Mexicans.
Semper Fi, toothless patriots!

We aren't afraid of the Arabs. It is that nasty "religion of cut you in pieces" that a solid majority of them have embraced that is at war with the West.
It is the sworn enemy of everything that is not Islam.
"Inner'stin" also that you've taken a shine to Huckabee now. Could it be you're jealous of the many smart things he has to say?

Stamford is a shitty little town with an ugly mall.

Our town is far from shitty, patriot. And our mall is becoming less shitty by the week.

You live in a country where Christian, Muslim and Jewish holidays can all be celebrated in the same physical place. You should be proud of this and proud of your country. Instead, you spew racial intolerance that only demeans your country and insults the people who work to make these celebrations possible.

Islam is not a race issue, "moldy". It holds no less than 1.2Bn souls under its wicked, oppressive doctrines, perhaps a good half or more of them - females - as chattel slaves.
If you take the time to look under the hood, you see a pretty big difference in the values and roots of Judaism and Christianity, vs. that of Islam.
In Judaism, God reveals to us His plan and the Person (His Son) in the ancient Hebrew Scriptures. He shows us His Laws, by which it is impossible for us to keep them by our own efforts, revealing the need for the Saviour.
In Christianity, that Saviour is revealed to us, the only name by which souls can be saved: Jesus Christ.
But what does Islam offer us? "Submission" or the Sword. There is no discussion of redemption, only a distant gamble that the ancient moon "god" will find favour with you, and maybe give you some virgins in "paradise", if you blow up as many noncombatants and kuffar (unbelievers) as you "martyr" yourself for a demonic power.
There is no hope of salvation inside of Islam, but plenty of room for growing in murder, in slavery, and spreading misery all around.

You are right. Some spew racial intolerance, others spew religious intolerance. From other posts of yours, you don't strike me as a racist and your category would not be the former.
