Aminah Assilmi

I wish Sr. Aminah Assilmi had survived that accident the Friday morning of her death as she did the one in Chicago. But I can see her smiling, still full of plans, because whenever I met her, she had some fantastic ideas about what needed to be done for Islam in America.

Aminah Assilmi (nee Janice Huff, 1945-March 5, 2010) was an American Muslim activist, Emmy-award winning broadcaster, speaker and director of the International Union of Muslim Women. She was named one of the 500 most influential Muslims in the world in 2009.

Initially, 75,000,000 Eid stamps were printed when it was first issued by the U.S. Post Office. In order for the stamps to become part of the annual permanent holiday issue printing, they need to sell out for three issue years. This is an appeal to support America's first Eid stamp.
