Default Pretty stamp?????

Looks pretty doesn't it? Pretty deceiving....

Name:  Image.jpg
Views: 365
Size:  18.9 KB


PLEASE, DON'T USE THESE STAMPS! NOT FOR VALENTINE'S,

NOT FOR ANY MAIL!!



This image is a larger version of the Eid Custom Postage product.

USPS 44-Cent Stamp Celebrates Muslim

holidays Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha .





If there is only ONE thing you

forward today... let it be this!

REMEMBER to adamantly & vocally

BOYCOTT this stamp, when you are purchasing

your stamps at the post office.

All you have to say is "No thank you,

I do not want that Muslim Stamp

on my letters!"


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 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!

Pass this along to every

Patriotic American that

you know and get the

word out! Honor the United

States of America !

That is a genuine, 100% positive spin on a terrible stamp!! But, known what it is standing for, surely is already 100% full of it, so won't do anything but smear!!!!!

It's printed from Zazzle though. That's not issued by the USPS but by the private printing company who prints and embroiders a lot of custom stuff. That is also likely why it has a 3D barcode on it so that the USPS can recognize it as authentic postage. That's like getting a custom check book with your favorite cause on it. You get an NRA checkbook and someone doesn't like it... It's not the bank's issue; you're expressing your feelings. I bought a MOLON LABE hat from Zazzle as well. I call this another case of a chain mail gone wild... I could be wrong.

If it is, I apologize. I got it from a person that doesn't generally go into this, and does his homework before sending something on. I have grown to trust his mailings. If this is, I will pull it. Bottom line, didn't promote this to be from the USPS, just if you see it or like it without knowing about it, now knowing what it is and what it represents, like the apple for Adam, beautiful but deadly! From whatever the source, it doesn't promote anything I would be proud of and wouldn't want it on any of my outgoing mail (or incoming for that matter!). Thanks for the heads up though.

I don't care who or why they were printed, if I recieve any mail with this on it, it goes straight into the trash, where it belongs.

Actually, with e-mail, phone calls, on-line banking, and faxes, I probably only mail one or two letters a year. Snail-mail is pretty useless, and I'm not welcome in the post office while carrying, so poo on them.

No problem but that is indeed what the stamp is. See http://www.zazzle.com/stamps

If you don't see one you like you can create your own. You could make postage stamps with your likeness on them if you want. There's no merit to the email. Anyone could have created that stamp for themselves. I believe whomever started the email is making something out of nothing, or they generally don't understand how Zazzle and custom postage work.

Really...I shouldn't use it because it celebrates muslim holidays? What about the Hanukkah stamps I have? Can I use those, or not, simply because they are Jewish. Did I miss something somewhere about every single muslim being a terrorist, or is this simply bigotry on the OP's part?

I was buying some stamps last Christmas and the postal union clerk handed me some with some kind of muslim and arabic sh8t written on them. I looked at her and asked her what the hell are these? She said that were supposed to say some kind of muslim greeting. I told her to give some REAL Christmas stamps and keep the muslim ones. She did say that a lot of people refused them also. With a muslim in the White House, this is the crap we have to put up with for 3 more years.

Not all muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are muslims. If you would do a little studying and see how the muslims are co opting Europe and bending European law to accommodate their insane religion, than you might understand how normal people would and should feel about muslims. Muslims are bent on destroying all cultures they infest. They do not assimilate nor do they tolerate any other culture once they are strong enough and numerous enough to do so. Western Europe is lost but the next battle will be here.

Nothing against the Muslims, but they must DO MORE against the terrorists "hidden" in the Mosque. I'm not afraid from their religion or from the Mosque, I'm afraid from some people inside the Mosque.

Really? I could have sworn we have some terrorists in the Whitehouse right now, the very same that wanna call us terrorists. I'm starting to think that the new definition of terrorist is 'one whom I don't like.' Hmm.. There's a concept. LOL!! Sorry, I got on a soap box there.

Still use snail mail to pay my bills and send letters. I like to buy commemorative stamps.

Saw some of those Muslim stamps the last few years. Would like to see the truth in advertising laws used to give a translation of the writing on those stamps. How about you Sabashimone, can you give a translation?

Use Cristian art stamps at Christmas and have some Menorah stamps that I am currently using.

My favorite has been the .42 cent Bierstadt landscape painting. Would like to see more like it. Like the lighthouse stamps too.

P.O. agent told me, when inquiring about an upcoming release, that they had been put on hold do to tight money at the P.O.

Wonder if Zazzle will make some pro 2nd amendment or firearms stamps.

You need to get off this post and try to revive Air America. It is clear that you are a follower of El Bama and Holder, the terrorist' best friends. Did you vote for El Bama? I think you did and most likely a seminar poster that pollutes conservative and gun friendly sites. If you are nuts for muslims, then adopt a couple of the Gitmo crowd and then you will feel fulfilled.

You're kidding, right? I did not vote for Obamallamadingdong. I am not for Air America. I am pretty far right, actually. I attend TEA parties, drive a gas guzzling 4X4, carry a gun daily, etc. It just irks me to see some rant over a religion that is other than Christian. I am a Christian myself, and I worry that if you guys are going to be a angry attack mob at all muslims, are you going to do the same to a Jew...which my wife is? Would you take a stand against a Hanukkah stamp sold in the post office in December? The saying not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslims is patently false, and you guys all know it. There have been terrorists across all the faiths throughout the decades. Would a Christian abortion clinic bomber not be terrorist?

My overriding point is: Pull your head out of the sand, look with open eyes at the situation, and act as a individual. When you follow blindly into group think against one thing or another, then you are no better than the dems who want to socialize the country.
