		<description>It's a good thing for all religions; it demonstrates the religious freedom that America has.  It epitomizes what this country is all about.  And although the term “separation from church and State” is not written in the constitution, this demonstrates the founding fathers ideals of the Government not restraining us from our religious freedom.</description>

		<description>Islamic jihad is to the Islamic religion what the KKK is to Christianity.
  Having been born into Jim Crow Louisiana, it amazes me that the domestic terriorism that we endured had been condoned and enabled in this country for over a century. Where was the outrage by Christians? Should we condem them all?  [&lt;em&gt;Thanks for the voice of sanity, Jim. Cheers, PB&lt;/em&gt;]

		<description>Where is my stamp with Jesus on it. Or the fact there are hundres of lawsuits regarding the manger every year. We must remember what principles this country was founded on. We must not give up on the foundation.</description>

		<description>PeaceBang:

If you are going to use this on your holiday cards, you should know that the stamp in stylized callygraphy says "eid mabrook" (bottom word eid, top mabruk, which means blessed holiday, or congrats on the holiday.  Eid means feast and mabruk means essentially congrats, or be blessed- and is related to the verbal root BRK, "to bless, or kneel."  

It is incidentally also the root for "Barak" Obama's name.

What makes the controversy funny, sad and stupid is that this phrase is used by Christians for Christmas, which is known as Eid al-Meelad or "Feast of the Birth."  Your own birthday is Eid meeladee"  or Feast of my birth.  In both cases it is accpetable to say Eid Mabruk tp either one another (on Christmas) or even (I believe) to the birthday boy or girl.

There are several major Islamic Eids, as well.  It not used for just one feast. 

I learned this in the US Army at DLI Monterey.  Just doin my part to silence thugs &#38; make the world safe for democracy, here.</description>

		<description>We are a Christian nation not a muslim nation!
Our history is one of Christians coming here to practice Christianity and our constituion was written by and for people of like beliefs. We have evolved due to liberal courts far from our roots and heritage. Perhaps we should ask Iraq, Iran and other muslim countries to issue Christian stamps, to honor Americans in their country!</description>

		<description>Nothing says "peace and love" for the holidays like attacking your cousin religion and all the people that practice it... =)

Why does "they dont even believe in Christ!" sound like the statement of a jealous, angry child stomping her foot because her big brother got a cookie and she didnt...?</description>
