Here's an email I got a few days ago. It's about a new Muslim Christmas stamp. Sounds strange, right? Well here is the email, and then I'll comment.

They don’t believe
in Christ but get their own Christmas stamp. What is happening to
us?
BUYING
STAMPS?
Don't buy this
stamp! It is pretty, but keep
reading!
Will be
available November 1,
2013
President Obama
has directed the United States Postal Service to remember and
honor the EID
Muslim holiday season with a new commemorative 46 Cent First Class
Holiday Postage
Stamp.
The new stamp is
the second MUSLIM stamp, and celebrates a Muslim holiday!
If there
is only ONE thing you Forward today, let it be this! REMEMBER to
adamantly BOYCOTT this
stamp when you purchase
stamps anywhere. All you have to say
is, "No thank
you, I do not want a Muslim stamp on my letters!"
Buy our US flag
stamp instead,
please!
Pass this along
to every Patriotic American you know and get the word out!
Honor the
United States of America

Yes, it's fine to honor the USA. We have freedom of choice here, so put whatever stamp you like on your cards and letters. But don't believe what this email says about this particular stamp!
It is a Kaleidoscope Flowers Stamp and you can read all about it on this United States Postal Service web page: http://about.usps.com/news/national-releases/2013/pr13_002.htm. It has nothing to do with any religion.
Snopes says that there is an EID stamp, which celebrates the Muslim holiday of EID and not Christmas, but you have to ask for it since it is generally a specialty item. Read the snopes article on this email, here:

Bottom Line - Don't believe everything you get in emails or read on the internet. Research for yourself and make up your own mind on all issues, large and small.
