Pamela Geller, Breitbart: The Empire State Building Submits to Islam

I expanded upon why the Empire State Building lighting up for the end of Ramadan is so wrong in an article over at Breitbart. Read the whole thing here.

“The Empire State Building Submits to Islam,”

By Pamela Geller, Breitbart News, July 18, 2015

Story continues below advertisement

empire state islam

Not one day – not twenty-four hours after the Chattanooga jihad mass murder – the symbol of American individualism, capitalism, and the capital of the world, the Empire State Building, one of the foremost symbols of American freedom, celebrated the Muslim “holiday” of Eid al-Fitr, the end of Ramadan. Ramadan is the most violent month of the year in the Islamic world, because Ramadan is the month in which Muslims renew their devotion to Allah, and violent jihad is a supreme act of devotion to Allah.

All told, 2,988 people were shot, burned, blown up, beheaded, or hacked to death in the cause of Islam during this “holy” month, with 3,696 wounded, beating last year’s savage human toll of 2,429, with 2,028 wounded. This is not political correctness; this is sharia adherence. Wherever your sympathies may lie, the idea that the Empire State Building would turn green for Eid not a day after five U.S. soldiers were murdered in cold blood in the cause of Islam on American soil is surrender. We have indeed been conquered.

Wouldn’t it have been appropriate and respectful for the owners of the Empire State Building, in honor of our fallen heroes, if they had to commemorate Eid at all, to drape the Empire State Building in red, white and blue? What “moderate Muslim,” what Muslim of conscience, would have or could have objected?

And while the Empire State Building lights up for Christmas, Easter, and Hanukkah, that is not the same as lighting up for Eid. The religions are not equivalent, and the holidays aren’t, either. Christians aren’t slaughtering people worldwide in the name of Jesus, and Jews aren’t slaughtering people worldwide in the name of HaShem. To reward those who are killing us is madness, or at very least, a massive willful blindness. Of course, not every Muslim is responsible for jihad attacks, but until Muslim communities in the U.S. start fighting actively against the jihad doctrine that justifies all this violence, Islam shouldn’t be celebrated.

Devout Muslims across the world, and most particularly those of the Islamic State (ISIS), have exhorted the Muslim faithful to behead and slaughter in the month of Ramadan. ISIS released a video promising that, according to Islamic scripture, “the reward for the good deed of jihad is doubled in the month of Ramadan.”

The ISIS savages declared in a video: “The Lord has commanded his servants to observe the fasting [of Ramadhan]. The vast majority of the Muslims have observed this [fast], obeying what the Lord has commanded them. The Lord has also commanded them to fight for His sake. But this command has been neglected by the vast majority of the Muslims. Only the mujahideen for the sake of Allah have observed both commands. May the month of fasting and Jihad bring blessing upon them.”

And now, it not only has brought them “blessing” over a pile of dead bodies, but the Empire State Building’s honor and commemoration. Can you imagine the celebrations in savage quarters upon seeing the Empire State Building lit up in green for Eid, while the bodies of the dead in the latest jihad attack on Americans are still warm?

This is not tolerance. This is surrender.

The Empire State Building refused to light its crown in order to celebrate Mother Theresa’s 100th birthday. But Eid? Of course! What possible justification could these craven quislings have for such betrayal?

The privately-owned building receives hundreds of requests each year to light up for various causes and events, almost all of which they summarily turn down. They saw fit to light up in the cause of Islam, crowning an unfathomable tower of human flesh and blood.

I love this city. But I am appalled and ashamed that the Empire State Building is kneeling before those who have plotted and planned to destroy it. The thousands of victims of the September 11, 2001 jihad attack on New York City are turning over in their graves – that is, those who even had body parts to bury. I shudder to think what it is going to take for people to recognize the reality of jihad. But make no mistake about it: the jihad is coming – because of our weak and feckless political elites and their shadowy, well-heeled backers.

I cannot say much more, but every one has to take back the USA, and drive the Muslims where they never can do any more harm. I get so sick and tired of joining around in circles.

Every one has to give Donald Trump the full backing even on top of his recent statement about John McCain

Remember a vote for Hillary is a vote for Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood used her email for contact . Look up the Clintons pedophile connections as well.

Such a good article Pamela. It gives precise context to the nature of islamic barbarism with it’s antipathy to honourable & humane behaviour; while the building which symbolises the American way of honouring truth justice & right pays homage to the Beast.

This is really terrible. How dare this be allowed….this open betrayal of America….honoring the end of ramadan….as we learn of the murder of Marines by a jihadi. I’m really appalled and angered by this submission to sharia by our own Empire State Building. What a huge disgrace and insult to all Americans.

Hey Jack,
Get your head out of your ***, Bronish is right and you are dead wrong. There is nothing peaceful about beheading innocent people who have different beliefs, there is nothing peaceful about chopping up and brutally murdering innocent children, there is nothing peaceful about raping over and over innocent women, there is nothing peaceful about turning people into slaves, there is nothing peaceful about ISLAM, and most of all Islam is not a religion it is a CULT of mindless gutless scumbags who would turn there own mother and daughters into sex slaves just to reach there idiotic cult dreams. You obviously know nothing about history, as Islam has never been a religion of Peace, it has always been an organization of domination and control of all at all cost no matter what. It is obvious you must be one of the Kool-aid drinking liberals who believe Hitler was a gentleman and the holocaust never happened because your statement only shows your ignorance.
ISLAM = Dominance – Submission – Death pure and simple. Wake up and learn the facts.

Hi javaguy2011,

Thank for asking about my religion.

Islam protect human life.

AlQuran said Al-Maidah (5:32) Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.

Anyone who againts AlQuran and Prophet Muhammad teaching will not have mercy from Allah swt.

Ask any of the over 1.5 billion Muslims alive in the world today whether they were forced! The largest Muslim country in the world today is Indonesia…and there were never any battles fought there! Islam is spread by Indonesian scholars in peaceful manner. There are 28 million of Christian in Indonesia and they are free to practice Christian peacefully without any harm.

In Malaysia, Islam was spread by Islamic traders hundreds of year ago in peacefully manner.

Chinese Muslims have been in China for the last 1,400 years of continuous interaction with Chinese society in peaceful manner.[1] “Islam expanded gradually across the maritime and inland silk routes from the 7th to the 10th centuries through trade and diplomatic exchanges.

If we look at history (about 700 years ago) Muslims ruled a part of Europe as Spain was one of the largest Islamic societies of Europe. Queen Isabella and her husband Ferdinand are buried in Alhambra surrounded with the verses from the Holy Quran. It was revealed that Muslims conquered Spain within four years without any bloodshed or violence. At that time the Visigoths were very impressed by the Muslims and their peace, they happily accepted their invitation to Islam and also their rule.
The history tells that Muslims translated Greek scripts, they introduced paper in Europe. Muslims were the first ones to perform surgeries over human bodies, which was then common in Europe few centuries later. Alchemy, Algebra and astronomy are all Muslim inventions along with farming, practicing laws and providing trade contracts. The first university of the world was founded by a Muslim woman Fatima al Fihri which still exists in Morocco and is known by University of Al Karaouine.

Without the mathematics introduce by muslims, we might not have a computers today…HP CEO admitted this fact,,,

14 million Arabs are Coptic Christians.

Muslims were the lords of Arabia for 1400 years. For a few years the British ruled, and for a few years the French ruled. Overall, the Muslims ruled Arabia for 1400 years. Yet today, there are 14 million Arabs who are Coptic Christians i.e. Christians since generations. If the Muslims had used the sword there would not have been a single Arab who would have remained a Christian.

More than 80% non-Muslims in India.

The Muslims ruled India for about a thousand years. If they wanted, they had the power of converting each and every non-Muslim of India to Islam. Today more than 80% of the population of India are non-Muslims. All these non-Muslim Indians are bearing witness today that Islam was not
spread by the sword.

East Coast of Africa.

Similarly, Islam has spread rapidly on the East Coast of Africa. One may again ask, if Islam was spread by the sword, “Which Muslim army went
to the East Coast of Africa?”

Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and Europe.

Today the fastest growing religion in America is Islam. The fastest growing religion in Europe in Islam. Which sword is forcing people in the West to accept Islam in such large numbers?

Islam is spread and explain peacefully in UK such as thru Dawah at SPEAKERS CORNER, HYDE PARK, UK.

http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/01/05/europe-sells-off-churches-raising-questions-about-its-religious-future/

According to a Wall Street Journal report Friday, hundreds of churches are being closed across Western Europe, “threatened by plunging membership,” and now pose a question for communities regarding the fate of the “now-empty buildings.”

Europe, the article asserts, “is becoming relentlessly secular,” and the closing of its churches “reflects the rapid weakening of the faith in Europe, a phenomenon that is painful to both worshipers and others who see religion as a unifying factor in a disparate society.”

While Christianity languishes, Islam has grown steadily, mostly as a result of immigration from Muslim countries in Africa and the Middle East, but also because of a higher birthrate vis-à-vis the rest of the population.

In the 20 years from 1990 to 2010, the Muslim population in Europe grew from 29.6 million to 44.1 million and is projected to exceed 58 million by 2030. Muslims in 2011 made up some 6% of Europe’s total population, up from only 4.1% in 1990.

Hi 50jacks,

Thanks for asking about my religion..

The Holy Quran, Chapter 2, Verse 256

There is no compulsion in religion Islam, a person has his own will if he want to expect Islam or not. Islam is a blessing on Mankind.

Islam is spread by Dakwah in UK, for example Islam are explain peacefully at SPEAKERS CORNER, HYDE PARK, UK.

A Muslim must respect and protect the holy places where the People of the Book worship God, and protect them. For Muslims, these places are precious because in these places, people, whether Jews or Christians, remember God. In the Qur’an, the places of worship of the People of the Book, ie. monasteries, churches and synagogues, are mentioned as places of
worship protected by God.

The Quran verse 47 : Allah ordered protection to every monastery, church, synagogue and
mosque. Those who destroy a monastery, church, synagogue or mosque are not fighting for Allah but against Allah.

May God Bless You and Give You Guidance..worship only the almighty god without any partners..

Just shows you Liberalism at its worst. Leave it to the liberals to destroy our country from within, they not only demoralize our citizens but they make our citizens 2nd class while making the illegal immigrants first class all at our expense. Give it no more than 5 years and you will see the White House lighting up for Muslim holidays, and you will see the Supreme Court recognize and honor Sharia Law. How ironic the black population of America fought to get out of slavery, and became free men, now only to allow the Extreme Muslim Cult to come in to the USA and turn our women into slaves. There is nothing good to obtain from the extreme Muslim Cult. Yes that is right I said Cult, because a real peaceful religion does not cut off the heads of defenseless people just because they believe in a true religion, a real religion does not turn there women into second class dogs and turn them into property, a real religion does not participate in Slavery of its women and children, a real religion does not openly involve itself in sex slavery of women, a real religion does not enslave children to be servants at their whim, Islam – Muslim all in all is nothing more than a CULT, it is not and cannot ever be a true religion. Obama and his democrats should be ashamed of themselves but that will never happen as it is Obama’s grande plan

Islam is not a religion! islam
Is a political system wrapped around a pedophile’s plagiarized
materials from several sources and from imagination during drunken
stupor. Goals of the islamofascist movement, which encompasses all
mullahs, al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood, and many
others, is to promote a political ideology that seeks to subjugate
all the world’s peoples, by physical force, under the supreme
governing authority of islamofascist law, in every area of life and
thought. The islamofascist goal is to enforce submission in body and
mind—on pain of death. When considering taqiyya and kitman, one
realizes that there is only one outcome between islam and infidels
and that is a fight to death.
