I haven't seen one, no. But I doubt that that is due to small-mindedness, but rather to the fact that I have very few friends of the Moslem faith. I would imagine that the people most likely to purchase & use the stamp would be Moslems. Just as mostly likely the Kwanzaa stamp will be purchased mostly by black people and the Hannukah stamp by Jews.

bunnicula - This was one of several different stamps on a package I received from someone I do regular business with. I am fairly confident she is not a Moslem because she usually includes Bible passages in with my purchases.
I confess though, I hadn't thought of it from the perspective you offered. I like to put stamps of all types on my parcels (I like stamps so much more than metered postage). I was just surprised that I had never seen nor heard of this particular stamp.

Your friend probably got the holiday pack.
I, too, will use all sorts of stamps to mail things with. Some people, though, are *very* particular about what stamps they use--which can be irritating when you are behind them at the PO while they pore over every single stamp the clerk has to offer and agonize over which to buy...

LOL! I've stood in line behind those kind of people too! I get in and out of the PO as fast as I possibly can - if it's busy, picking the stamps is the clerk's problem
"stood" and "sttod" are not the same thing

Our local paper just did a story on this. I am going to try and see if I can find it online as it was interesting. If I can find it I will post it below.
Darn--
It's not archived. :0(
