Christians are being urged not to be taken in by a hoax email claiming the Royal Mail have instructed staff not to sell religious-themed Christmas stamps. The email warning comes in a number of different versions

Christmas stamps that caused a religious row have been partially withdrawn by the Royal Mail after protests from some Hindus.

Disagreement is continuing after the Royal Mail apologised to the UK-based Hindu Forum for a Christmas stamp depicting a man and woman with Hindu markings supposedly worshipping Jesus. But it says it is too late to withdraw the offending item.

Hindus are demanding that Royal Mail withdraws one of this year's Christmas stamps, claiming the mother and child image it represents is insulting to their religion.

hristians battling the decline of Christendom launched an assault on the Royal Mail yesterday demanding that snowmen, parcels and snowflakes be dropped from its Christmas stamps and only religious themes used in future.
