Well, there's a stamp that commemorates two Muslim festivals, but a
good-sized chunk of this isn't terribly accurate -- starting with the
fact that the stamp has been out for three years already.

For what it's worth, it might be worth noting that these attacks on
Americans were not MUSLIM attacks, but were TERRORIST attacks by
extremist groups. The teachings of Islam actually prohibit these
activities, just like the teachings of Christianity and Judaism do.
Blaming millions of people and a religion as a whole for the activities
of a few that choose to bring their own warped interpretation to their
teachings is just downright unfair (and dare I say, un-American?). It
would be as logical as saying "boycott the religious Christmas stamp &
Rush Limbaugh -- Timothy McVeigh was a conservative and a Christian!"
