I agree with [profile] cathouse_blues's take on stamps and religious bigotry...

Folks don't call the attack on the OKC federal building an attack by a CHRISTIAN terrorist, do they?

Yeah, funny how that doesn't happen...

Thanks for posting this Brian. I didn't know about the stamp. I am kind of dismayed lately at a lot of what I hear in the news. There's a lot of fear going around... and the kind of thinking expressed in that anti-Muslim post.

It seems we humans are often quick to want to declare an "us" and an "other". Why it comfort us, I don't know.
