All-American Jihad

[surrealestate]

In case you haven't heard, Lowes recently decided to pull their advertising from the reality show "All-American Muslim" in response to a campaign by a group of bigots calling themselves the Florida Family Association. I just wrote to Lowes (via their web site) to let them know that for kowtowing to and thus endorsing that sort of ugliness, they will not be getting any more of my business.

You can write to them here if you'd like.

Here's one article about it, but you can find plenty more.

I liked Kayak's response, which was basically "We handled this badly. We aren't continuing to support the show because it's not a good show, but we support the concept, and Muslim Americans ..." etc.
