March 17, 624. Battle of Badr. Green lights. Empire State Building. Last night of Ramadan. Dhimmitude. If you don't know what these things are or how they're connected, you should.

This coming weekend on October 12-14, for the first time ever the Empire State Building in New York City will be bathed with green lights, the color closely associated with Islam, so as to commemorate Eid ul-Fitr, the end of Ramadan... Contrary to what one might expect, however, the last day of Ramadan does not celebrate the actual date of the earliest revelations of Allah to Muhammad but rather the Battle of Badr, the first significant military victory by the forces of Muhammad.

All religions are not the same. Tolerance without truth is tolerance of falsehood.
