The latest stamp that was released by the post office commemorates Ramadan with an 'Eid stamp'. Some people have leaped onto social media channels claiming that 'Muslim President Barack Obama' ordered the stamp. However, George W. Bush, former president, first requested the initial Eid stamp back in September 2001. Such social media outbursts go to show that people will stoop to low levels to offend Muslims. The latest social media outbursts include accusations against Barack Obama for apparently demanding a new stamp to honor his religion. Firstly, the majority of us are knowledgeable of the fact that President Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim. Obama's second name is commonly used my Muslims and by some Christian Arabs too. Such social media claims are false, as Obama did not order the stamp. On September 2011, before the terrorist attacks, George W. Bush requested the Muslim Eid stamp. The stamp itself was not supposed to be connected to terrorism in any way. Instead, it was related to the tradition of the nation celebrating and acknowledging major religious holidays. There is an increasing amount of Muslims living in the United States, approximately seven million. Given this figure, it's unsurprising that the postal service of the United States has decided to honor such a widely celebrated religious occasion. The stamp was valued at 34 cents when George W. Bush first ordered it in 2001, in line with the First Class postage costs. The stamp was re-issued to coincide with the rising cost of stamps. Many new stamps including the Eid stamp were released when the price increased to 37 cents. Price increases are natural in nature and results in stamps being reissued several times; the Eid stamp is no exception. On September 3rd, 2009, the United States Postal Service announced that they would remove the value from postal stamps. Instead, the value of every stamp would rise regardless of how much it was originally bought for. The most up to date Eid stamp was acknowledged in December 2015. The United States Postal Service states the following information on their website alongside the stamp's heading: The Eid stamp entails decades of tradition. The stamp acknowledges the two most special celebrations in the Islamic calendar, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha. A widely known calligrapher, Mohamed Zakaria, designed the gold colored stamp. The writing on the stamp translates to 'May your Eid be blessed'.
