True Colors of 9/11

I was on my roof here in New York Friday night hoping to get a look at the tribute in light. Two white beams that shoot to the sky from the World Trade Center site around the anniversary of 9/11. My view downtown was obscured. But, I could see the Empire State Building awash in green lights. Yes, bright green. The buildings lights are a color code for all kinds of holidays from Fourth of July red white and blue to Christmas, red and green. But all green? It's not St. Patrick's Day. Then it hit me. Of course, the end of Ramadan, The Eid Celebration -- one of the most important times on the Muslim calendar. While the world was wringing its hands over the Koran burning threats of a fringy preacher from Florida, the mainstream message from the most recognizable landmark in New York City was one of inclusion. Our true colors shining through.
