Empire State Building Ramaikan Idul Fitri



Meski trauma terorisme menyisa, New York City di Amerika Serikat (AS) masih ikut meramaikan Hari Raya Idul Fitri. Salah satunya, menyalakan lampu hijau di Empire State Building.

Biasanya pada malam hari, gedung yang menjadi salah satu ciri khas New York City ini diwarnai lampu merah dan kuning, dengan garis biru. Terkadang, hanya lampu kuning saja.

Namun, pemerintah New York City memutuskan neon hijau cocok untuk menandai berakhirnya Ramadhan di kota tersebut.

Ed Husain dari Council on Foreign Relations di New York City menyatakan, tindakan penuh penghormatan ini merupakan tindakan yang baik.

“Ini tribute yang amat tepat, mengingat banyaknya populasi Muslim di New York City,” paparnya.

Neon hijau itu menghiasi Empire State Building pada Sabtu (18/8/2012) hingga Senin (20/8/2012) lalu.

Warga New York City masih mengingat tragedi 9/11, 11 September 2001 lalu saat menara kembar luluh lantak akibat tindakan terorisme.
