US  Post  Office  issues  new  Eid  stamp  honoring  Muslims

While the muzzies formalize their plans to create havoc in the united States, the U.S. post office (corporation sister to the U.S.A. cabal) honors them!!!!!!

 

The U.S. Post Office has issued its latest stamp to commemorate the Muslim 'religious holiday' of Ramadan with its latest “Eid Stamp” — Eid meaning Holiday in Arabic. Despite social media racism claiming the stamp was issued by “Muslim President Barack Obama,” the first Eid Stamp was actually ordered by former President George W. Bush just before Sept. 11, 2001.

People will go to any lengths to bash Muslims these days and the latest social media thread involves claims that “Muslim president Barack Hussein Obama has again ordered a new stamp to honor his religion.”

Well, we all know Obama is not Muslim, he is a Christian!! (haha) And while his middle name is a common Arab name, used often by Muslims but also by some Christian Arabs, too,  Obama did not order the first stamp to recognize American Muslims and their holiday (Eid in Arabic) of Ramadan.

Bush unveiled the first Eid Stamp on August 1, 2001, which was valued at 34 cents, the First Class stamp rate. The U.S. Postal Service has re-issued the stamp to reflect the increasing stamp costs. When the costs of a First Class Stamp increased to 37 cents new stamps, including one for the Eid, were issued again on Oct. 10, 2002. And the costs of postage have continued to increase several more times, each time with new stamps, including a new Eid stamp, issued, too.

The increases were in 2006, with a 39-cent denomination; in 2007,  at 41 cents; in 2008, at 42 cents; and on Sept. 3, 2009, at 44 cents. Soon after, the U.S. 

Postal Service decided to remove the value from postage stamps calling them “Forever” stamps and the value of the stamp would increase regardless of how much you paid when you purchased the stamp.

The Eid Stamps commemorates the Islamic holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

The most recent Eid Stamp was authorized in December 2015 and is listed on the U.S. Postal Service website as follows:

Eid Greetings - Featuring a design that evokes centuries of tradition, this stamp commemorates the two most important festivals—or eids—in the Islamic calendar:  Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The gold-colored calligraphy on the Forever stamp was created by world-renowned calligrapher Mohamed Zakaria of Arlington, VA.  The script reads Eidukum mumbarak, “May your Eid be bountiful (or blessed).
 
The first stamp to honor the Muslim Eid was ordered by President George W. Bush before the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In fact, the issuance of the stamp had nothing to do with the terrorism and everything to do with the tradition of this nation recognizing major religious holidays.

With the increasing population of muslims in the United States — as many as 7 million by last count — it’s no wonder that the United States Postal Service has issued the stamp in recognition of their 'religious' beliefs.
