[Salman]

someone had pointed out to me that the EID muslims were one of the more "mellower" sect, in that they are different (and don't preach violence) than some of their other radical muslim bretheren.

I'm sure someone could elaborate for me.

"Eid" is not a sect, it is the Arabic word for holiday.

Even funnier. I think they're beautiful stamps. Arabic calligraphy is one of the most beautiful calligraphies of any language. The problem is, on the one hand, total lack of discrimination (liberals) or, on the other, completely absurd distinctions made on the basis of a language. Some very, very old New Testament texts are in Arabic. Do hyper-reactive people imagine in that case that the form is tainting the content? There needs to be a whole lot more thinking and a lot less mindless reacting going on.
