Get this...

I received an email today. Let it be known up front that it was from my sister in law. (remember this when I tell you what my reply was!) In my opinion, it was an incredibly ignorant email, not worth much at all. It started out with several FW:FW:FW: crap-things, and then went on about "how the US Postal Service is a total disgrace for issuing an Islamic/Arabic looking stamp." It then goes on about "Remember such and such attack, and such and such attack, all done by MUSLIMS" and that "we should boycott the stamp, and how could they print a Christmas stamp for Muslims when they don't even believe in Christ?"
Should you like a REAL description of these two stamps, read up on it at My">http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/eidstamp.asp
My response? 'Many things have been done in the name of religion; Not all Muslims responsible for any of these atrocities. They were all acts carried out by fanatics, and in no way am I ignorant enough to presume otherwise. I refuse to lower myself to the levels of said fanatics by discriminating against an entire people for the actions of a few. I also refuse to allow my children to grow up hearing this kind of hatred spewed from the mouths of their parents. I fully believe that they should make their decision of a person based on WHO that person is, not WHAT that person is.' And so on and so on. Basically, I called her ignorant and a nutcase. (I can't seem to find my actual email response, and since I was irritated when I typed it up, I don't know exactly what I wrote in it. But you get the picture)

Think we'll be invited out there any time soon?!? Me either! =)
