Lowe's Lonely Anti-'All American Muslim' Crusade

Full story: www.theatlanticwire.com

After Lowe's got flack for bending to the will of the Florida Family Association, pulling their ads from TLC show All American Muslim , other companies are denying they cut advertising from the program that the FFA says "poses a clear and present danger to the liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish."

SHAME, shame on you ; parading your KKK predjudices and ignorance as if flying a flag.

You all are worshipping Satan; and you will all burn in Hell for your Hating innocent people, fellow Americans, because of their religion.

It doesn't matter. Now that a lot of attention has been brought to this show that most people had never even heard of, more people will watch to see what all the fuss is about, and ratings and advertising revenues will increase. LOL@ the Florida Family Ass., "skipper", and all the other right wing nut balls.

I look at it this way, Bill. These are people who are not very worldly. They closet they come to a Muslim is when they buy a lottery ticket at the convenience store. People fear what they don't know. The sad part is, they'd rather look like fools than educate themselves.

I was given my job by a Muslim. A woman born in Iran, raised in England and educated in the United States. Her children are American citizens. She showed me a picture of their family Christmas tree the other day. While their religion may be Islamic, their values and traditions are FAR more American than a lot of other immigrants.

Another of my co-workers, a Shiite Muslim, gave me a Christmas gift last week and wished me a wonderful holiday. Christmas is not HER religious holiday, but how thoughtful of her to remember mine! Kind of made me feel like crap because I don't know enough about her religion to even know what holidays SHE celebrates.

My position requires that I work closely with people of all colors, faiths, ethniticities and sexual preferences. Before this job, I was kind of ignorant to these types of things and probably would have leaped on a bigot bandwagon if it drove by. That's why I say people who are bigots are probably very secluded or very unworldly. They've had very little one on one experience with the people they hate and demean.

It's like saying "I hate green beans" if you've never eaten any. You can say you hate them, but how do you really know if you've never had the experience of personally eating them?

Your attitude is just why people came to America in the first place; to get away from religious oppression, and people like you.

Why do you hate people you don't know, because they are a different religion?

I urge you to go to your pastor ar minister and discuss this with him. You are Hellbound by your hate.

And, if you don't believe in Hell, you are simply anti-American.

Merry Christmas to you.

I see backers of "All American Muslim" and have to wonder just how long you ACLU hand-holders would like it if we had a show called "All American Catholics", "All American Baptists" or even "All American Christians" or "All American Jews".

If they're so all American, why don't we hear about any of them protesting the violent acts by Muslims in this country and elsewhere? Why don't we hear them saying that in good faith fellowship with other Americans they won't build their mosque/community center in whistling distance of Ground Zero?

I'm not sure why they want to be here in the US anyway. Oh, yeah, there's money to be made here and hopefully Sharia Law won't stand when the wife is raped or the daughter wants to wear designer jeans.

Which Sharia war?
Be specific. "Sharia Law" has no real meaning, it is like saying "Christian Law" which would actually be various Canon Laws, not applicable to secular or sectarian behavior.

Rabid, xstain talibangelicals are exactly the same as rabid, muslim talibangelicals.

Fortunately that's not quite all Christians and Muslims.

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Capricorn

You really have some great ideas today, Cap. The question is whether you dare to put them into action. If you're hesitant about this it's because you suspect that your plans and opinions are too off-beat or unconventional, but are you sure that's true? Discussing them with people you trust could reveal a very different picture and make you realize that you've got your finger on the pulse. Have the courage of your convictions!
