There's no stupid like freepwad stupid:
....Now President Obama has directed the United States Postal Service to REMEMBER and HONOR the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a new commemorative 44 Cent First ClassHoliday Postage Stamp..

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 ~
pass this along to every Patriotic AMERICAN that you know and lets get the word out !!!

Here is something to chew on...

They (MUSLIMS) don’t even believe in Christ, & they’re getting their own Christmas stamp! BUT, don’t dare to dream of posting the ten commandments on federal property! This is truly UNBELIEVABLE !!!

2. Yeah, it's a real winner, isn't it?
My father sent me that one a while back. I Snopesed it for him and his whole forwarding list. He thanked me. Go figure.

I just love the stupidity of saying that the Eid stamp is a "Christmas stamp" for people who "don't even believe in Christ." That's just downright Archie Bunker illogical.

3. especially odd in light of the fact that Muslims believe Jesus to have been one of
the prophets. I'd say that requires believing in him, but then I'm not an expert in freeplogic.

6. It is Bush's fault
Obama had nothing to do with this stamp, which was first issued during President George W. Bush’s administration, on Aug. 1, 2001, honoring two Muslim holidays, including Eid al-Fitr, the first day following the month of Ramadan, a period of fasting and religious observances. The stamp first came out at 34 cents, the prevailing first class rate at the time. It has been reissued several times whenever that rate increased.
