As some of you may already know, the US Postal Service issued a Islamic stamp to celebrate the Muslim holy day of Eid in September 2001. It is a beautiful dark blue stamp with gold Arabic writing.
This is the ONLY regular first class stamp endorsed by President Bush on the White House web page. He says that all Americans should use the stamp and that Islam is a religion of peace.
He personally uses this stamp when he sends greetings to Muslims in honor of the Eid Holy Day.
Did you and your family follow the President's advice and use this stamp to send letters, cards, and packages to your loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan

Yes, I did. It was between the Eid Stamp and some with the Virgin Mary. The Eid one was blue and gold and I LOVE those colors together, so I got the Eid Stamp. Plus, Arabic is pretty when written. I know the people who got my letters were confused, but I don't care.
Besides, we sell $3000 nativity sets at the store where I work. I see enough Virgin Mary's...
I don't know anyone in the service.

i did no longer hear appropriate to the stamps, and that i disagree with many things that Bush says, yet I do agree that authentic Islam is a non violent faith. many human beings have a false impression approximately Muslims, whilst they are in a position to be very sort, sturdy human beings. i do no longer think of there is something incorrect with a stamp, that some human beings look to freak out approximately...

Living in Canada, I've never seen them before, but the people who have answered you saying that you're "sick" or that they "refuse to buy them" are so ignorant that I feel ill.
