Disney released its stamp collection for Chinese New Year 2007, using “Winnie The Pooh” character piglet as the main character, in celebration for the Year of Pig in Chinese calendar.
The stamps are officially introduced on January 9 at Shanghai Stamps Museum; Taiwan artist Pace Wu was there to endorse the Disney collection.

Yes , I know and I don’t for once feel that all Muslims are that way, which is why I was careful to mention in the post before that about the “radical ” elements in the world today. “Radical” is referring to the small minority of groups that engage in things such as terrorism etc, and not the majority.
I am careful about not making sweeping generalizations about an entire group. And if the Chinese government were in fact worried about bombings then I have no doubt that they also, would realize that those who would perpetrate such deeds would only be the radical elements. It goes without saying that the good people within the Muslim community or any other faction would not do such things to innocent people. I hope I’m clear. :)

Yummy, I was wondering, are you gonna post that news you said about Chinese changing their minds on the stamps? I’d like to read the details if possible. :)

I forgot where I read it… tried to find the details online but no luck.
Still want to buy the piglet stamps? Perhaps you should ask your China friend to check it out and confirm if it’s available :)

Wow! Thats kinda odd how the Chinese govt is banning the stamps to religious beliefs. Believe it or not, but i am muslim. I am totally not offended by the stamps of piglet. Although we consider pigs “unclean” and dont eat them, I dont see whats the big problem with having stamps that is meant for a celebration of Chinese New Year. Its very unfortunate that people cant celebrate their New Year due to fear of persecution from a small group of “radicals”. I hope that people dont think that all muslims are like that. And I do hope they bring the stamps back :)
