I just got an email chain letter from one of my older relations demanding that people boycott a stamp that honors a Muslim holiday on the grounds of how it's Muslims that have perpetrated all these recent terrorist attacks against Americans.
I've just had to send her mail back telling her to stop sending me chain letters like that on the grounds that from where I'm sitting, to lash out against innocent Muslims in this country just because of the actions of certain Muslim extremists and to call all Muslims evil because of what those extremists have done is no better than those extremists calling all Americans evil just because we're Americans.
I do not expect this to go over well. Sigh. But it had to be done.
