"A picture is worth a thousand words!"

[fearNlothin]

How does Christianity stack up against that criteria?

[Let's Roll]

Me thinks that the USPS will find themselves with a "remainder" problem with this particular issue.

[Mulder]

LOL!

[oldvike]

LMAO! Next year, the Ebola stamp.

Eid al-Adha recalls Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail, and comes at the end of the annual Hajj, the period of pilgrimage to Mecca. I'm pretty sure my Bible says it was Isaac that was going to be sacrificed. MM

This can't be for real. Do the stamps show jets piling into the WTC?

[TopDog2]

No wonder they think we are soft. Some members of the muslim "faith" attack us, American muslims excuse the atack and then we issue a stamp honoring the American muslims. To what depths have we descended as a country?

[CedarDave]

Did you copywrite that drawing? I'll bet it or something similar will be on the cover or one or more major news magazines next week.

[Howlin]

I'll be taking a big old PASS on these stamps.

[Howlin]

And I won't be opening any mail that has them on it, you can bet that!

[CedarDave]

copywrite=copyright Grrr...

Many employers deny Muslims sufficient time from their jobs to attend mosque services, or a place at their office, store or factory to pray

or build bombs, plan terrorist attacks, and attend terrorist fund raisers.

If most folks boycott these stamps, they might become a collectors' item. I suggest you buy the mint sheets or the plate blocks. Just a thought - albeit not a very good thought.

So, it is un-PC to make any religious reference to Christianity in public, like the ten commandments posted, but it's now PC correct to replace Sarai, the wife God promised to bring the Messiah through, with Hagar, the handmaiden of Abram's household and the child Ishmael and supplant all biblical references to Isaac and the sacrifice, etc. If this is not a joke, it deserves the absolute firing and banishment of whomever though up this notion of appeasement to the Muslim religion. I smell sinkEmperor clintoon in this! I notice the ACLU rushing to block this via federal court action ... NOT. The socialists like hatellary and chuckie Schumer, the ACLU and the Democrats for Sovcialism in our Congress love this sort of hypocrisy, because it does just what they want, undermines the fundamental background values of this Republic which they wish to terminate from within!

[airborne]

Hey post office! LICK IT AND STICK IT!!

[fone]

I'll buy one, right after they issue this:

[JJ59]

Needs a few Arabic words on it. Maybe "Have a happy& holy Ramadan"?

[billybudd]

Why? I mean, really, why?

[browardchad]

So, these stamps have been available since September 1st? Must be a hot item.
