Country:  | Muslim EID Postal Stamp - You Gotta Be Kidding Me!
Let me get this straight. You can't put a Christmas tree or Menorah in the lobby of virtually any building (let alone a Gov't bldg). You can't post the ten commandments. You can't mention God in the Pledge of Allegiance. And yet the politically correct are allowing the US Postal Service to issue a stamp (effectively US currency) celebrating a Muslim religious holiday.
Now that PISSES me off!  USPS News Online

Country:  | I'm not very happy with Islam or Muslims either. But, this is a stamp. There are plenty of Christmas stamps, even Christian ones. So why shouldn't Muslims be allowed to buy a stamp celebrating their holidays? It is not an Osama bin Laden or AlQueida stamp. When they start putting the Koran in schools, then I'll get angry.

Country:  | You even THINK about God in schools here (France), they give you the chop! It's like living in the Soviet Union, only infinitely more subtle. If you're not an atheist, you're on the sh*t-list. Been there for years, myself.
I told one of my daughters to ask her teacher (primary) why it was Christmas - talk about embarrassed silence interspersed with stutters and meaningless gibberish about Winter!

Country: | To quote Gomer Pile...
"Gee Wilakers" (best spellink widout a degree)
Funny thing is that one June 5 1944 all the Priests blessed the troops and the weapons they carried in His name.
To go fight the enemey who had a belt buckle with three word on it....
"Got Mitt Uns"
History is not something religion learns from, they like it just the way they think it is, or should be.

Country: | To me it is just a stamp but at the same time, I think that it was a bit ill timed, and I do agree with Matt up there that it is forbided to put our religion into things, so why should we do theres.
