New Muslim Stamp

Don't buy this stamp, it's pretty but President Obama has directed the United States Postal Service to remember and honor the EID Muslim holiday season with a new commemorative 46 Cent First Class Holiday Postage Stamp.





The new stamp is the second MUSLIM stamp, and celebrates a Muslim holiday! Do not buy it for your Christmas cards this year or any year.

The stamp you picture is just one of the kaleidoscope flower series of stamps. This is the 2013 EID stamp to avoid.

If the "moderate,tolerant" Muslim sector had taken out a permit and disowned itself from 9/11 via a peaceful demonstation it would have gone a long ways towards easing distrust and animosity towards Islam. Even a full page statement in national news would have been a start.
Maybe there is no "moderate,tolerant" movement? 'Ya think?

AAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!! Why are we, as a hated country, so tolerant of everything and everyone else. Our own people can barely afford to live here, the government "apparently" has no money........................................yet I saw a couple days ago on FoxNews.com where we gave some Islamic country x-amount of millions of dollars in "aid!!!!!" Am I wrong to be extremely upset over this?

Lordy, this thread caught me on the wrong day for sure!!!

Its the British's fault. google anglo guilt. We are predisposed to feel guilty about what we think we have and therefore give it to someone that we feel doesn't have.

That Snopes is dated. If you look at the image I posted, you'll see 2013 on it. If you go to the USPS site, you'll find that stamp. It's a 2013 forever stamp.

The only reason I didn't link directly to the USPS stamp is because the image was too big. I downloaded it and changed the dimensions.

Would you please document the Fox News connection.

This is a family (American family) oriented site. As such, I cannot degrade my status by commenting on this thread or print any cement finisher language which would be unsuitable for our members and disrespectful to our guests.

Inasmuch as I would like to voice my opinion on this, I respect you all too much to go any further....

Really? People still watch FAUX news, I kicked them to the curb right after the last presidential election results were in. They dropped the ball so bad
on that I am done with them, they just tell conservatives what they want to hear.

My office gets 25 books of these on an automatic shipment. I've never sold any and don't try to push them. My clerk puts them on the packages of people she doesn't like! Whatever it takes to get rid of them...
