It's not difficult to look up.
What do you think it says?
And the only thing new about it is the price.
Does anyone know what the Arabic writing says?

I'm pretty sure that's a fake. What's your source?
The pic is about 25% down the blog and led: "DON'T BUY THIS USPS STAMP. IT'S A DISGRACE

It's real.
But not new.
It's a troll attempt. Either that or the thread starter is a pretty naive email recipient.
Loosely translated, it says "Congratulations, you can swallow your spit during the day again!"

So what was your purpose in starting this thread, SpurNation?
I guess it's not a fake. The design was first issued in 2001. I guess it gets reissued every so often. Sorry...
The 2007 Commemorative Stamp Program, last stamp:
Eid
The U.S. Postal Service is reissuing the Eid stamp in the Holiday Celebrations series. The Eid stamp was first issued in 2001.
This stamp commemorates the two most important festivals or eids in the Islamic calendar: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. On these days, Muslims wish each other Eid mubarak, the phrase featured in Islamic calligraphy on the stamp.
Eid mubarak translates literally as “blessed festival,” and can be paraphrased “May your religious holiday be blessed.” This phrase can be applied to both Ed al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
The stamp was developed with the assistance of Muslim consultants and experts in Islamic studies. Employing traditional methods and instruments to create the stamp’s design, calligrapher Mohamed Zakariya chose a script known in Arabic as thuluth and in Turkish as sulus. He describes it as “the choice script for a complex composition due to its open proportions and sense of balance.” He used homemade black ink, and his pens were crafted from seasoned reeds from the Near East and Japanese bamboo from Hawaii. The paper was specially prepared with a coating of starch and three coats of alum and egg-white varnish, then burnished with an agate stone and aged for more than a year.
Zakariya’s black-and-white design was then colorized by computer. The colors chosen for the stamp—gold script on a blue background—are reminiscent of great works of Islamic calligraphy.

Jewish Lies!!!l'shana tova, tikatevu, obama said, speaking in hebrew
SpurNation ran away pretty quickly, didn't he?
I think that translates to "how do you say 'socialist' in arabic"?L'shana tova, tikatevu, Obama said, speaking in Hebrew
Nah it means, "Spanoulis greatest PG in the WORLD...mother er"
Actually I went to bed. And...I thought the stamp looks cool. And...really...you just might not conceptualize this...but some do ask questions without looking to "troll". And since my "arabic" is not all that good...was just wondering what it said.
WOW...What a concept. Asking a question.
By the way...Thanks WC for the post.
Arabic writing is an artful form. Years ago I used to work for a man who grew up in Iraq. He gave me a book of Arabic writing. Though I couldn't tell you what the pages said...they often entailed intricate design and are really works of art as well as words or phrases.
