Boycott stamp

blown503 · Jun 14, 2003, 06:10 AM

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of PanAm 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 the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001!
REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious MUSLIM attacks!

Now the United States Postal Service REMEMBERS and HONORS the EID MUSLIM
holiday season with a commemorative first class holiday postage stamp.

REMEMBER to adamantly and vocally BOYCOTT this stamp when purchasing your
stamps at the post office. 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 to pass this along to every patriotic AMERICAN you know.

I've moved this to Political Debate, although I don't really see this thread staying open for long.

Closed. Everything you have described did indeed happen and was perpetrated by Muslims. But the overall tone of your post is this: People attacked America. Those people were Muslims. Therefore, all Muslims are attackers. This is akin to saying that we should boycott Veteran's Day -- there have been, after all, at least three cases that I can name off the top of my head in which former members of our Armed Forces have attacked Americans.

Your fervor and passion are admirable, but your idea is racist, misguided, and runs contrary to what America ought to be about.
