Subhan'Allah--it deeply saddens me to see this type of misunderstanding, hate, fear and intolerance displayed by our fellow citizens. May Allah (swt) grant guidance to all and allow an atmosphere of understanding, cooperation and respect to bloom in order to weed out such destructive ignorance. Ameen.

The Unfortunate Case:
SC: ISLAMIC STAMPS
Robert Little, Spartanburg Herald-Journal, 10/29/06
I am greatly disturbed about the U.S. Postal Service supporting Islam with stamps recognizing two Islamic holidays. We just purchased two from a post office in Spartanburg. One postal worker didn't even know about them.
Why is the U.S. Postal Service giving this kind of support to this group when there are Islamic extremists who would like to see this country wiped off the face of the Earth? We should boycott the stamps. Would you please write about this disgraceful stamp supplied by the U.S. Postal Service?
