Muslim Commerative Stamp - Are We Crazy or What?
If there is only one thing you forward today.....let
it be this!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of Panama Flight 103!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the military barracks in Saudi Arabia!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American Embassies in Africa!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001!
REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious MUSLIM attacks!
Now the United States Postal Service REMEMBERS and HONORS the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a commemorative first class holiday postage stamp. WHAT? ? ? ARE WE CRAZY? NO.....DO NOT BUY THIS STAMP! !
REMEMBER to adamantly and vocally BOYCOTT this stamp when purchasing your stamps at the post office. To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors.
REMEMBER to pass this along to every patriotic AMERICAN you know

This is america, not the middle east. It I had it my way, I would make stamps making fun of the muslims who attacked us. Or one protraying us playing cowboys and muslims. hmmm..... Please, don't take offense at this anyone, it was a joke, but could be taken the wrong way. You just can't have sarcasm over the net.

Wait one moment.
Terrorists did all of the above things, and they happened to be Muslim. Most muslims did nothing.
The Templars, to whom I have dedicated my life, have been against Islam, as a faith, since it started, but I still will not condemn the majority of muslims because of that, so why condemn them all because of a few? That is totally unfair, and if we must remember things of that ilk in that way, Remember the Islamic peoples who have been slaughtered by muslims, remember the races in Iraq who were murdered entirely, who were also muslim. Far more has been done to Islamic People, by Islamic extremists, than has been done to the rest of the world, so I would agree that to honor the terrorist is bad, but to honor a belief and innocent people is not something crazy, it is something honorable.
I will not condemn an entire race, because of its philosophy.

well to be completely truthful of all of those things, it wasnt just muslims, it was muslim terrorists, and unless the stamps are glrifying terrorism, i see no real problems...you have to differentiate between the people, and the terrorists

Go look up how many christians have commited horrendus crimes. Those few do not represent the whole religion. I am not muslum by any means, and I consiter myself a patriotic person. Trust me I would be the first to pull the trigger on anyone who would commit a horrendus crime such as that, but I don't think buying a Muslum stamp has anything to do with how American you are. Remember freedom of speech and what this country was founded on?

Well said, Theo. Most members of the KKK claim to be Christians and the KKK has committed terrorist acts. Should we condemm all Christians for the acts of these few?

How many people are on postage stamps that helped contribute to the decline of America? Did Elvis Presley really contribute anything worthwhile to America besides flaunting and making sexual movements with his hips on TV before anyone else?
I would be happy to go to just plain postage stamps or dead presidents.

I agree. Its a symbol that we all can agree on(most of us) and a symbol/idea that a lot of us have died for, right or wrong, and are still willing to do so. Yeah, I agree with good old stars and stripes as our stamp and may her colors never run.

If they are offended by the stars and bars... then they came to the wrong place to live.
Let's mail their butts back to where they belong

At best I would say not to make a stamp. America has become far too PC.
The Japanese in WWII killed far fewer people than the muslims did on 911, yet the entire American born and Japanese born US population was put in prison camps. Many volunteered for service right after Pearl Harbor. I wonder how many of our Arab Americans volunteered after 911?
I worked for a man who volunteered along with his entire neighborhood to join the 442nd, Japanese American division to serve their country, the USA, even though their families and they were in prison camps. I knew several of his friends who joined and they were far more American than many Americans. I know very few Arab americans who view America as their country above their original homeland. Most Japanese Americans believed in America first.
The same story can be told of Italians, Germans, and many other ethnicities who are American first and ethnic as a by product of their heritage.
I used to think of Islam as a peace loving religion but the evidence is starting to make this very difficult to believe. I have several friends who are Arabic, they are wonderful people but many of them are quite nuts in our American way of thinking.
I would not buy the stamp, let the do gooders use them.
Just my opinion,

"WE" do condemn universally the South as the "home of the KKK" and folks up North PUNISH people who fly the stars and bars.
That sounds pretty much like condeming a "whole race" or "whole religion" to me !!!
