I'm all for that. But people should have no problems with other religious holidays being put onto stamps, I mean what's wrong with you people. This is not a holy war unless you make it one. You're being fanatical and idiotic if you think otherwise.

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.

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.

It is the only TERM that is used like it or not. I didn't pick it. The remainder is just laughable. Ah the misguided fools who do not even know the difference between a sect and a religion yet feel qualified to spout about it.

quote:

“Converts tend to be more radical and fanatical than those who have been Muslims since they were in the cradle,” Hans Joachim Giessmann, a terrorism expert at the Hamburg Institute for Peace Research, said. “They are driven either by politics or the fervour of their new faith rather than any cultural tradition.”

Why thank you. But this is the way I've always felt. I think arguing religion is rediculous. Everyone has their own set of beliefs, even within the same religion, Not every single person believes or worships the exact same way. And I believe that the only way to live is to understand and learn from those around you. If you don't understand their religion, don't hate them for it, Study it! Learn what they really believe, don't just go by what some radical sect of their religion beleves and spouts out loud. The biggest problem is that most times the only side that is ever heard is the one shouted loudly and is in blatant hatred of others. Sometimes it's hard to hear the whispers of peace and kindness with such things being shouted in your ear.

Edited to say this is just my .02 not to be confused with telling others what to do or believe.

Blessed Be,
Mel

I just want to mail my letters...who cares whos picture is on a stamp....maybe we need to start placing the FBI's 10 most wanted on them or missing children instead of wasting the space on Xmas tree's and stockings....make the stamp actually useful......To the OP I do have to agree with the rest about your need for negative post and drama.....I think you need your own forum..*Pink font Purgatory*

There's a disturbing (to me) post on a thread here that repeatedly uses racial slurs including the "n word".  Other slurs against other minorities are also used.  Does such language violate the CM TOS (thinking of the prohibition against harrassing speech)?  Do the mods ever remove such posts or close threads because of them?
 
Is this a matter of free speech?  Personally i find absolutely no excuse for such language and wish it were subject to moderation.
 
What do Y/you think?

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!

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 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. Bull!

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!!!

You make absolutely no sense. You put up a thread about racial slurs, and now this? The fuck is your problem? I nearly threw up when I read this. The problem isn't Muslims or Arabs. The problem is closed-minded, non-sensical, idiotic, fanaticist "patriots" like yourself.

Love,
GM

PINKSUGARSUB:  I really would like an answer how you can start a thread against racial slurs then start a thread that is one in and of itself.  I see no answer as of yet.  To give creedence to this thread, you should be able to answer that question.

Well??
