Separation of Church and Brain

Recently, I received an email requesting a boycott of the new USPS stamp honoring the Muslim holidays of Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha with the note to "adamantly & vocally BOYCOTT this stamp, when you are purchasing your stamps at the post office."



Who's the jackball that started this s--t???

While we're at it, let's boycott the Christmas stamps and the Hannukah stamps, too.

REMEMBER it was the Christians killed and tortured non-Christians during the Spanish Inquisition.

REMEMBER it was the Christians killed and tortured non-Christians during the Crusades.

REMEMBER it was the Christians burned and drowned 'witches' during the Salem Witch hunts.

REMEMBER it was the Christians were largely responsible for the Rwandan Massacres.

REMEMBER it was the Christians and Jews both collected African peoples, treating them as less than animals during the slave trades.

REMEMBER it was the Christians and Jews both were active participants in the South African apartheid.

REMEMBER it was the Jews preformed 'ethnic cleansing' of indigenous peoples living in the region of Canaan after leaving Egypt and ruled the land for a period of some 750 years until the Assyrian rule.

REMEMBER it was the Jews who waged terrorist attacks against both Romans and other Jews who they deemed to be heretics during the Roman rule of Israel.

All religions of the world have had a checkered past for one reason or another. Despite the message of the peace, love and the golden rule, they are populated by human beings with their weaknesses and human failings.

The fact is that the current wave of terror in our world IS perpetrated by Islamic Extremists - but those ARE the minority. No good Christian would want to be thought of as a one of Torquamada's henchmen. No good Jew would want to be grouped in with militant apartheid overlords. No good Muslim would want to be thought of as a Islamic Terrorist.

Let's do our best to separate the religion from the extremists. They are NOT one and the same.

As far as I'm concerned the Islamic terrorists can burn in Hell for eternity - but so can the Christian terrorists, the Jewish terrorists, the Nazi terrorists, the Irish terrorists, the African terrorists, the Kurtish terrorists, the....

Com'on readers - don't be a jackball - use your head and act with a conscience.
