Het Vrije Volk has tipped that you can create your own official Rondellhund stamp.
In the Netherlands: Go to the internet page TNT Post — Make your own stamp (Sheet 9.00 euros, 10 x 44-cent stamps) Example here.In Belgium: De Post —For a personalized stamp, go to the internet page: MijnZegel (Sheet 16.50 euros,15 Prior stamps, in Flemish or French).
Other countries may also possibly have an official “create your own stamp” service, but I have not checked that.
And Lars Vilks’ Roundabout Dog is not the only option…

…as you can see, the famous Turban Bomb, the archetypal Mohammed Cartoon by Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, is also available to be converted into your own personal postage.A citizen of the Netherlands or Belgium now possesses virtually unlimited postal possibilities for insulting, offending, defaming, blaspheming, or otherwise causing distress to the world’s 3.7 quadrillion Muslims.
Netherlanders and Flemings can now send custom-franked heretical correspondence to Ahmed Marcouch or Tariq Ramadan! How could anyone resist?
Enjoy it while it lasts — when the mandarins in Brussels find out about this, the fun will be over.But until then, send a postcard to a prophet — and don’t forget the pbuh!

Making stamps was part of Lars Vilks' Modoggie art project. He made many hand-painted stamps. I bought a few. Looking something like the one above, but with more variations and in colour.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the US has a similar program in which one can insert any image to create legal postage.

How about a stamp to honor the Pakistani Imam, Dr Tahir ul-Qadri, who just issued a 600 page Fatwa that sorta went like this:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have an important announcement: hence forward, the use of madrassah brainwashed kids as ordinance delivery systems, a process which entails said youths blowing themselves up to smithereens and scattering infected nails, to murder helter-skelter as many random men, women and children as possible within the deflagration circle is no longer licit and therefore, Allah the most merciful will no longer reward said youths with an eternity of dalliance with self-repairing virgins!"
The western press is fawning all over this great theologian!
My modest theory states that the very need for such a Fatwa says 1000 times as much as the Fatwa itself. But apparently, his organisation is attracting the attention of policymakers and security chiefs who are continuing to look for allies in the fight against extremists.
Well, if not the front side of a stamp, maybe he could be honored with the side that gets licked.
the american postal system is a bunch of cowards. How can I, an american, get and use some of these netherland stamps?
