Lowe's Pulls Advertising from Muslim Reality Show After Bigots Complain
American Muslim, a TLC reality show that depicts the lives of Muslims in dangerous anti-American professions like "police officer" and "high school football coach," is obviously the most egregious example yet of creeping Sharia. So thank (the Christian) God that all-American retailer Lowe's has decided to pull advertising from the show!
The reason for Lowe's decision? The same reason any decisions get made in this country: irritating Christian bigots:
The conservative Florida Family Association in a statement said it has sent three email alerts, encouraging supporters to email advertisers on the show. "All-American Muslim is propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agenda's clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values," it said.
On its Web site, the Association posted an email from a Lowe's representative saying: "While we continue to advertise on various cable networks, including TLC, there are certain programs that do not meet Lowe's advertising guidelines, including the show you brought to our attention. Lowe's will no longer be advertising on that program."
Lowe's confirmed it had pulled ads in a Tweet, claiming it "did not pull our ads based solely on the complaints or emails of any one group." Sure! Probably just... a few different Islamophobic groups.
