KNIGHT RIDDER WASHINGTON BUREAU

By Tony Pugh

WASHINGTON -- On Sept. 1, well-wishers in Chicago surrounded Aminah Assilmi
and praised her efforts to secure the nation's first postage stamp honoring
the Muslim faith.

On Sept. 11, the day of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington,
Assilmi was again surrounded -- this time by a group of men in Northern
Kentucky, where she lives. They were shouting anti-Muslim insults and
striking her car with bats.

The fallout from that day has shaken Assilmi, of Taylor Mill. She heads the
International Union of Muslim Women and organized a national campaign that
led to the stamp's creation.

But it might have had a greater impact on the stamp she worked five years to
win.

``It was not just a stamp. It was an expression, a symbol that the Muslim
community is accepted here and Islam is recognized as an American
religion,'' said Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi of Garden Grove, Calif., past
president of the Islamic Society of North America.

In English, the stamp bears the words ``EID Greetings.''

It also features gold Arabic script on a background of navy blue that reads
``EID Mubarak,'' or ``Happy Eid.'' The stamp commemorates Eid ul-Fitr, a
celebration after Ramadan, a time of fasting and prayer for Muslims. The
stamp also honors Eid al-Adha, a festival that marks the end of a hajj, or
pilgrimage to Mecca.

In the weeks following Sept. 11, the EID stamp met with poor sales, and even
provoked anger.

``People have gone into our post offices and said `We shouldn't be selling
that stamp,''' said Dave Failor, a U.S. Postal Service spokesman.

A West Coast radio talk show host even suggested the stamp was rubbing
America's nose in the events of Sept. 11 because EID backward spells
``Die.''

``I must have gotten 19 calls from people who were upset about that,''
Assilmi said. ``There's a large-scale fear of Islam right now. People aren't
sure, so they look at us with an added level of fear.''

Seventy-five million EID stamps were printed, and 45 million shipped. The
stamp went on sale Sept 3. No figures are available, but Failor said it is
selling well in Detroit and Chicago, which have large Muslim communities.

Elsewhere, it hasn't been popular.

``Not at all,'' said Gail Miles, philatelic specialist at the National
Postal Museum in Washington, D.C. ``Everybody says, `If it had come out at
any other time it would be doing well, because it's a pretty stamp.'''

"Why, look you now, how unworthy a thing you make of me. You would play upon me; you would seem to know my stops; you would pluck out the heart of my mystery; you would sound me from my lowest note to the top of my compass; and there is much music, excellent voice, in this little organ, yet cannot you make it speak. 'Sblood, do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe? Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, you cannot play upon me!"
