From
SNOPES.COM: As the USPS describes the EID stamp:
The Eid stamp commemorates the two most important festivals --- or eids --- in the Islamic calendar: Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al--Adha. On these days, Muslims wish each other “Eid mubrak,” the phrase featured in Islamic calligraphy on the stamp. “Eid Mubarak” translates literally as “blessed festival” and can be paraphrased as “May your religious holiday be blessed.” This phrase can be applied to both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha
... The EID commemorative is often mischaracterized as a “Christmas stamp,” but it has nothing to do with Christmas other than that it is part of a series of U.S. postage stamps commemorating several diverse celebrations, some of which generally occur around the November-December “holiday season” timeframe (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Thanksgiving), some of which occur at other times of year (Cinco de Mayo), and some of which move around from year to year on the Gregorian Calendar (Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha).
my NOTES:
(1) It's a first-class-stamp worth
42 cents, NOT 44 cents as may have been on a forwarded boycott-Muslims email (2) The EID stamp was issued in 2001, eight years before Barack Obama became President (3) The EID stamp is an ordinary first-class stamp; and all proceeds go to the USPS -- not one cent goes to a Muslim cause.
With that in mind, would I still use or request the above EID stamp from USPS?
Are you kidding??!!!
