Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul sparked outrage Friday after ordering that 16 state landmarks – including Manhattan’s One World Trade Center – be illuminated in green to celebrate “the heritage and culture of Muslim Americans.”

Hochul’s decision to light up the skyscraper erected on the site where the Twin Towers were knocked down by terrorists during the 9/11 attacks was decried as “tone deaf” and “disgusting” by several social media users.

“The twin towers were unable to be lit green tonight,” Queens Republican Councilwoman Vickie Paladino wrote on X.

“It’s disgusting that the Freedom Tower – which stands at the World Trade Center site – is lit in green to celebrate Islam,” fumed Angela Morabito, a spokeswoman for the Defense of Freedom Institute, in a post on X.

“There must be some mistake, this can’t be real??” wrote one shocked X user.

Ah yes, Muslim Heritage month. Let’s review Muslim heritage.

Included among the 15 other sites Hochul directed to be lit up green are the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, Grand Central Terminal – Pershing Square Viaduct,  Albany International Airport Gateway, the MTA LIRR – East End Gateway at Penn Station and  Roosevelt Island Lighthouse.

Ah yes, Muslim Heritage month. Let’s review Muslim heritage. There’s a lot of heritage.
