I'm disgusted by this email

[micki76]

I got this disgusting email from my cousin this morning. It was the first thing I opened this morning. I proceeded to write her an extremely long email explaining to her why I am so disappointed in her and why this is so wrong. She's 45 and had NEVER shown this side of herself before. I apologize a head of time if this offends anyone. I suggest that if you receive this horrible piece of email that you delete it immediately.


DONT'T BUY IT!!!!
How ironic is this??!! They don't even believe in Christ and they're getting their own Christmas stamp, but don't dream of posting the ten commandments on federal property?


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 World
Trade Center in 199 3!

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.


For some reason the stamp picture is showing as a link. Click on it to see the EID stamp. I think it's a very nice stamp.

It's just a stupid email forward like all the other stupidity we get. Silly people pass this crap along. The recycle bin is a great place for this kind of propaganda.

That is basically prejudice. It is pretty stupid.

yes. it should be in the racism thread.

And the worst part is that it came from my cousin that I used to be very close to. I was just sick when I saw that she had sent me this kind of crap. I’m so disappointed in her.

I'd be just as disgusted as you Micki, if I recieved that email.

Actually... I recieved something similar from a great aunt. There was a poll a bit back at a news site asking peoples opinions on gay marriages, and she forwarded this thing just spouting religious propaganda and how we'll all go to hell if gay marriages weren't banned.

I was near sick and equally ticked. I held back from replying until a cousin spoke up about how disgusting the email was, and then I backed them up.

That kind of crap goes straight to my trash.

I agree.. what a waste of email space. . I think it is a pritty stamp ...

Perhaps we should ban the American Flag stamp too since there are so many rapists and killers that are Americans.

Crazy people. When I was in the post office the other day I noticed that there were hanukah stamps, secular Christmas stamps (santas and snowmen), and religious Christmas stamps. I didn't notice a Muslim stamp at the time (I wasn't really paying attention one way or the other). Personally, I see nothing wrong with a Muslim stamp.

Its sad how something like this reveals one's true colors.

This is an important topic. I'm glad it's being discussed again.

It is true that a lot of Americans are angry with Muslims, and that they know little about this religion. They can't distinguish between the moderate and liberal (even most of the conservative) followers of the Prophet, and the small number of militant Islamists.

They don't understand why there is jihad against the Jewish State and America.

It doesn't help that our "leaders" in Washington would like to see a fundamentalist Christian American government. Or that they are Israel's source of military aid.

This country wrote separation of Church and State into its Constitution for a reason. Letting religious leaders, who are not elected, influence government policy is undemocratic.

I am appalled that the new government of Iraq will be called the "Islamic Republic of Iraq." As I am appalled by the history of Israel and the Palestinians. And of the Irish (Catholics) and British (Protestants) for that matter.

And by anyone committing violence in the name of their religious faith.

I think it would be funny if they make a list of all the killings/crimes done by people of other faiths and nationalities. There are evil people in every religion.

I completely agree with this. Just because someone is (or claims to be...or is assumed to be) from a certain religion and does something wrong does NOT mean that everyone in that religion is like that. Nor does it mean that the religion supports their behavior. I hate it when somebody commits a crime and the first thing the news points out is what religion they are.

What an ignorant waste of space...unfortunately, I bet many people will forward it on.

I got the same e-mail, just the other day from a friend, I read part of it and deleted it. It is racism, which I hate.

I think it's horrible. If they want to have their stamps, then let them. It's not like it's going to hurt anyone, it's a dang stamp.


And PCB -- what do you mean by going against "god's" words?
