Re: USPS New 44-Cent Stamp Celebrates a Muslim holiday
An accomplished artist, calligrapher, and maker of custom instruments from the history of science, Mohamed Zakariya worked closely with art director Phil Jordan to create this new design for the Holiday Celebrations series.

This new Eid stamp is being issued as a Forever stamp. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate. The new background color and calligraphy on this stamp will help customers and postal clerks distinguish the Forever stamp from the original Eid stamp, which was first issued in 2001 with gold calligraphy on a blue background.

Made in the USA.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

None of us can take it anymore yet more and more is going to be shoved down our throats.
And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

It never ceases to amaze me how racist and unwelcoming fellow Americans are. If any Muslims are reading this, I apologize for the ignorance and baseless hatred that many Americans engage in. We are not all like that, and I am glad you now have a stamp.

This thread is so retarded it boggles the mind.

First, as ~Jay~ so astutely pointed out, the stamp pictured is a custom zazzle stamp.

Secondly, you know this assertion was cut and pasted out of a chain email which was over a year old since the first class rate for a 1oz letter has been 45 cents since January of this year.

Thirdly, there IS a real EID holiday stamp, but it was originally issued in 2001... the holiday season immediately following 9/11 during W.'s reign.

First off, that's a custom-designed stamp. Zazzle.com lets you design and print your own stamps (within reason): [link to www.zazzle.com]

On the other hand, the USPS does issue its own Eid stamp. However, it first started doing so in 2002, back in the early years of the Bush administration: [link to web.archive.org]

True: A U.S. postage stamp commemorates the Islamic holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

False: President Obama directed the issuance of the above-referenced stamp.
