We really need to show a spike in sales in order to counteract the objections of the Islamophobes.

The Eid stamp is an important symbol of the Muslim American identity and it is our responsibility to preserve it.  By designating the Eid stamp as the stamp of our choice in our homes and businesses we can save it for years to come insha’Allah, help in defeating Islamaphobia, and also save money along the way.
