remember!!!

Hey.... Remember the crusades! (11th-13th centuries) Remember the Salem witch trials, conducted by the puritans. Remember the Spanish Inquisition. Remember the settlement of the white man in North America and the subsequent attempt to convert the natives to Christianity through force, threats and violence. Remember Manifest Destiny. Remember the missionaries who refuse to provide aid to war-torn or natural disaster ravaged areas (like Hindu villages in India's southern Tamil Nadu after the 2004 tsunami), because they refused to convert to Christianity. These are examples of some of the worst atrocities committed by fanatical Christians. There are numerous other examples of purges of infidels and executions of heretics throughout history. Not to mention the various conflicts and wars just between the various branches of Christianity (such as between the Protestants and Catholics and the "peasant war between the Catholics and the Lutherans). Fanaticism, in any religion, is dangerous, and millions of lives have been lost in every religion. Boycott the stamp if you must, but don't hold up your own religion as a symbol of purity, because Christianity has blood stains on its hands as well.

There would be no peace if we would be unrighteously vindictive. We have laws and we have the appropriate government agencies to take care or pursue the offenders. We should let law over and above man but of course we should do whatever we are supposed to do to help enforce the law.

I think it's a mistake to bring out a stamp like this, when the wounds are still so fresh. I agree with MSV and we need to bring out stamps then for every religion,to make it fair. Why is the very religion that is threatening to destroy the free world being constantly catered to?

I am not American, but I do not think that using this stamp is the right idea. You should have a stamp that commemorates the sacrifices made by the troops who gave their lives, not for a stamp that honors a religion who proselytes through conquest and not by building missions as we Christians did, or by being nice as the Buddhists did, or showing a morality in a wave of immoral nations as the Jews did..

Sorry to be rude or Hash but whats your own grudge or scores with the Muslim.. Sometimes its so hard to understand why people cause problems for others and themselves.. Where you there?? Sure you heard that from the news, Sis, you need to learn how to stay off from issues that causes one to loose his or her life, You know the war or riot that came cause of the CARTOON Christain did about the muslim, Then use that to compare the gravity of what you are saying.. So times you let the sleeping dog be or stay away from Bingo's bone.

realy?well i grew up in the muslim town,since my country we have a number of muslim.my father work thier so we have to saty thier and i grew up thier. i think what i see is they are nice peole but the teaching that put in thier mind is horrified me.what can you do that teaching ingrave to thier mind by cencuries. its a different teaching by different preatcher.some teach good some teach verry bad.and most of the people thier they dont educate thier self, they have follow the leader step. and the leader corrupted thier minds,. by this teaching that christian are the enemy and if you are not muslim you will never see the paradise. and if you kill the enemy all of your family will be in paradise,by your sucrifising killing the enemy witch christian.you will see paradise and marry 72 virgin..well thats what i heard thier.and some of my friend thier told me that. we decide toeave the town.but i never forget the horror ive seen thier. people killing people..its a wrong teaching lead the people in the wrong way.

Not all Muslims did these crimes just as not all Christians were involved in the wars in Ireland and in Syria and not all Jews were responsible for the attacks on US warships. We do no good by attacking ALL followers of a religion for the actions of a few.

simple. cos everyone should HONOUR such a lofty religion.
