LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A decision by retail giant Lowe's Home Improvement to pull ads from a reality show about American Muslims following protests from an evangelical Christian group has sparked criticism and calls for a boycott against the chain.

The retailer 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."

Of course, they’re just running scared but good for them. I’ll make a point to shop there if they keep it up.

So glad I bought my wife’s electric fireplace there! I’ll be sure to spend more money there! All the studies show that Jews are many times more likely to be picked on than ragheads. My Jewish wife concurs.

Let’s show them our support. Was there a list of the show’s sponsors posted on FR?

Lowes will buckle, and then they’ll grovel.

They are already trying to ‘reach out’ to this clown state senator from California to address his concerns. They should either ignore him, or attack him for threatening to the power of the state to punish an American corporation that has done nothing but decide not to advertise on a particular show.

I mean, who is this Lieu jacka** to try and force Lowes to reinstate advertising for a tv show? Sadly though, he’ll win, and Lowes will probably end up spending a lot of money as if CAIR controls their budget.

Stop in and see if they have any 100 watt lightbulbs to stock up on before Reddy Kilowatt becomes a wanted criminal.

I bought 5 more 8-packs last week there.

Military (vets and active duty) have your identification ready to show the cashier and ask if Lowe’s is offering a discount for you.

I was wearing my “Proud Navy Mom” t-shirt one day last year (son was just out of the navy) and the cashier at Lowes gave me a discount! So nice to see our military appreciated! Good for Lowes for pulling their ads!

I like Lowes but if they cave on this I’m going to Home Depot.

The people who attack Lowe’s for this are saying they endorse Muslim terrorism.

American Traitors, IMO.

Home Depot.

Unfortunately there is a boycott going on against Home Depot. According to America Family Association:

The Home Depot promotes the homosexual agenda

For several years, The Home Depot has given its financial and corporate support to open displays of homosexual activism on main streets in America's towns.

Rather than remain neutral in the culture war, The Home Depot has chosen to sponsor and participate in numerous gay pride parades and festivals. Most grievous is The Home Depot's deliberately exposing small children to lascivious displays of sexual conduct by homosexuals and cross-dressers, which are a common occurrence at these events.

Lowe’s should stick to their guns, I have always liked them much better than the other place, any way—
