"Backlash" for Lowe's as ads pulled from Muslim show
Ay-peee handwringing.The retail giant stopped advertising on TLC's "All-American Muslim" after a conservative group known as the Florida Family Association complained, saying the program was "propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agenda's clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values." welllll. It certainly won't show Jihadis, but... The show premiered last month and chronicles the lives of five families from Dearbornistan, Mich., a Detroit suburb with a large Muslim and Arab-American population. A state senator from Southern California said Sunday he was considering calling for a boycott. "Watch me as I showboat and propose unconstitutional penalties!" Calling the Lowe's decision "un-American" and "naked religious bigotry," Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, told The Associated Press he would also consider legislative action if Lowe's doesn't apologize to Muslims and reinstate its ads. The senator sent a letter outlining his complaints to Lowe's Chief Executive Officer Robert A. Niblock. FYNQ Posted by: Frank G 2011-12-12 |
