It doesnt much matter what picture  is on a stamp. One can ask for a certain design on stamps- or no design.  So why is it a problem?

It bothers me that so many blue mail boxes are eliminated.

Also- I took some unused stamps back for return..there had been a form to fill out and get a replacement-BUT the post master said to re-use the stamp. I told him I had gotten a letter saying not to..

Someone wrote in to a paper and said ‘That’s rubbish because I’ve collected stamps since 1964 and they all feature that damn Christmas tree with a star on the top.”

Yes some people moan about a star being at the top of a Christmas tree rather than an angel.

Besides, you are confusing muslims (general term) with radical Islam (violent fanatical minority)...

Saying muslims were responsible for all those acts is about as accurate as judging all christians on the basis of the Spanish Inquisition.

Of course, if one wanted to survey the US public on their opinion about Islam in general, it might be an idea to offer Muslim themes on stamps and see whether the take up is greater than, equal to or lower than take up of other stamps. Such a means of survey might well provide better data than a questionnaire approach - being absent questions which can be framed in order to provoke a certain response.

The US Postal Service is offering a stamp commemorating the Muslim holidays during the Xmas season.
 
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of Pan Am Flight 103!

Now the United States Postal Service REMEMBERS and HONORS the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a commemorative first class
Holiday postage stamp. Bull!


Clipped for brevity.

For those who didn't see the snopes report, it is part of a 7 year old holiday celebration series.  If you're among the outraged, you missed it.

More air reaches the brain if the knickers are not so tightly wound.

pinkie i thought you were more intelligent than this post makes you appear.

Pardon me but I AM a Muslim REVERT and my ''idea'' is FAR from sketchy. Yours however, may be as you earlier posted Catholics and Christians as different religions when Catholicism is a sect of Christianity. The term is revert in Islam, not convert. I can see that there are a few sensible thinking individuals here though not enough in number for me to be checking back in on this thread. Many of you are far more scary than any Muslim I have ever known.

Bush:   Only a terrorist could lick a stamp like that.  Time for the water board...Merry Christmas you Motherfuckers!!!

Sorry but they are so far from the same set of values they don’t count as being the same religion anymore in my opinion and the amount of struggles in the history of my country support my opinion that they are distinct. I don’t care if you are a convert, a revert or a pervert either it’s all semantics to me.

The term revert suggests to me that all people were initially Muslim and is a bigoted view in my opinion, but use that term if you like.
