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 :)

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 :)

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. :)

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. :)

Religious sensitiveness is a big issue these days.

The Chinese government might be over-cautious this time, I seriously doubt the piglet stamps will offend the Muslim community. Some of them might be offended but most will practice tolerance I believe.

Joe… it’s not fair to relate Muslims to car bombing directly. I understand that US people have valid fears on this, but mind that just a small portion of Islamic world are that aggressive… lots of the others are actually quite peaceful minded.

I went to a cafeteria a while back, and I saw a guy come back up to the line with his plate and start yelling at the servers because they had cooked the green beans with bits of bacon in it, which is common in the west where this happened. He said it violated his religious beliefs. He was so irrate I thought he was going to go over the counter and beat them all up.

He demanded that they pick out every piece of bacon in the green beans. I almost felt like going up to the guy and telling him, hey moron, nobody forced you to ask for the beans in the first place, so either don’t eat them or pick them out yourself. Anyway they eventually called a manager and they gave him a new helping of green beans…with the bacon pieces taken out….True story!
