Found Collection

Well if those people will blow themselves to smithereens with the idea
that they will become a martyr, what can you expect.
Personally, I love my collection and myself more than any dream.

What a pity for him that Sweden is not part of the story

Boy, that Mohammad...he really can't take a joke, can he?

Wow, Mohammed's not the only one who can't recognize a joke.

I must confess, I was once a member of the protest support group
"burn the bra"
Now, there was a bonfire I really enjoyed.

" Sana'a, Feb. 9, (BNA) A Yemeni citizen burnt more than 5000 Scandinavian
postal stamps which date back to the period from 1841 and 2006 in a protest
against the disgrace of prophet Mohammed by a Danish newspaper.
The Yemeni citizen said he had collected the stamps which carried pictures
of all countries when he had been working in Aden-based British Culture
Faculty from 1963 to 1967. He said that the burnt stamps included a very
expensive Swedish collection, issued for the first time in Sweden, adding
that he is now busy sorting out the remaining stamps and plans to set to
fire those of any country whose newspapers might dare insult prophet
Mohammed. "

I don't believe this propaganda. Just to mention that the first Sweden and
Norwegian stamps were issued in 1855, the first Danish one in 1851. A
"Swedish collection, issued for the first time in Sweden" doesn't make more
sense either...

If he can't resist his pulsations, he can start burning the stamps of
France, Switzerland and of other countries too, for the same reason.

BTW, more he burns, more he will look like this:

Since many of them are blowing themselves up, there may be a change to
"man burns self" and leaves stamp collection as heir.

I must confess that the article also struck me as "this might be just
boasting".
They could've been any showbox ;-)

In protest I just set fire to my Yemen stamps....all three three stamps
are now ashes.
I found these three in a junk box that I bought. I know nothing about
Yemen stamps, have no intrest in them at all and plan no research. As
far as I know a complete collection of Yemen stamps are of no
sigbnificant value. Like I said, I know nothing, just voicing my humble
opinion.
I have to empty the ash tray so the ashes do not blow all over when the
window is opened to let out the stink.

But what were you protesting?

I hear that Sweden has taken this so seriously that they are going to
move the entire country to the Mediterranean so that they will no longer
be confused with those evil Danes.

:-))
If they move their country to Spain and area, even their currency will fit
in beautifully. Them evil Danes have renamed the Swedish Crown to Swesetas
(= Swedish Pesetas)  ;-)
