Islamic terrorists destroyed two of the tallest buildings in New York on September 11, 2001.

Six years later, one of the remaining super-skyscrapers in New York, the Empire State Building, is going to go green for the Muslim holiday of Eid.

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.

An estimated seven million Muslims live in the United States.

And of course, the last sentence is a CAIR-promoted lie. The Pew Research Center estimates the total population of Muslims in the United States at 2.35 million.
