(Disclaimer: I am non-Muslim. I will change or delete the swap if I've hit the wrong tone)

Hello, my fellow swappers!

We're a nice bunch on our corner of the internet, but things are nasty elsewhere. Islamophobia is rife, rifer, rifest.

Let's show our Muslim brothers and sisters on this site that we care for them and that we are on their side. That we are all hurt and angry, flawed and human, difficult and well-meaning. And that caring for one another has never been more important than in these most divisive of times.

Send your partner, be they Muslim or non-Muslim, a kind bit of snail mail. Share the kindness in whatever way you see fit. Let not one swapper feel excluded.

Don't be frightened. Halal is easy:

No pigs

No booze

No nudes.

That's it.

I was a victim of a few Islamphobic hate crimes.

Hi - I'm not 'new' to swap-bot, but I did take a longer break and thinking of coming back for light swapping. I love the idea of this swap! Before I sign up, I just wanted to clarify - since I'm out of the swapping habit - what we would send. Are you looking for sending "happy mail" like some pretty note cards, tea bags (for tea drinkers), a small gift from their wish lists, or are you looking for something more involved? Thanks!

SuMay 12/23/2016 #

Thank you all for your comments and enthusiasm! USAFwife, just something simple, some kind and happy mail. I think something small like you suggest is perfect. Notecards or stickers, or mail art for those who like it, tea-bags also sound good. Do you agree?

USAFwife 12/23/2016 #

OK, thanks. :)
