I can't believe my sister sent me this....
I replied to everyone my sister had forwarded this to, even though I don't know all of those people. I told her that what I recall are the four American Muslims I have had the great joy and honor to work with over the past ten years. These were the most polite, devout, respectful, family-devoted, job-responsible, God-respecting people I have ever met in all my almost 50 years. I have loved each one dearly. AND I said, I will recall that saying all Muslims are responsible for Bin Laden's group is like saying all Christians follow Jerry Falwell (excuse me while I get ill a moment). AND I said that we are not at a full jihad yet, albeit Bush is chomping at the bit for it, based on some of his own words (crusade comes to mind), and this stamp and this email could be a 'flamer' set to get a full jihad....then we can invade more countries, run our deficits into destruction of the country for those of us not killed in action.

This email just made me absolutely ill.

Oh, yes, I should have added: Remember Freedom of Religion!







USPS New Stamp

This one is impossible to believe. Scroll down for the text.
If there is only one thing you forward today.....let it be this!





REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of PanAm

Flight 103!

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the WorldTradeCenter 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

5. Jerry Falwell? More like Tim McVeigh.
You should have replied:

Remember the christian bombing in OKC.

Remember the christian bombing of the 1996 Olympics.

Remember the christian bombings of the abortion clinics.

Remember the thousands of christian lynchings of African Americans.

But that she can continue to be a closed minded racist if she likes.

10. Very nice response
a less effective, but snitty response would be...

and for all of you who quickly pumped a fist and forwarded this email on to others... you have just had an object lesson to the old question we have often asked... Just how did Hitler get normal Germans to go along with his ideas...
