TLC, the channel that has brought such deep and meaningful shows to us as "Say YES To The Dress" and other such drivel, has a new show on called "All American Muslim". I have actually watched this show. Once. It was enough for me.
Being a practicing Muslim, no matter how nice you are, no matter how "westernized" you are is so anti-American and so NOT what this country actually USED to represent that the title alone should be changed. Sorry but covering your body so as not to temp evil wicked men, is so fucking backwards and so totally anti-freedom, anti-woman's rights and anti-AMERICAN you just cannot explain it away. And come on Dearborn Michigan is packed full of Jihadis.
So....some group in Florida (Florida Family Association) started a campaign to get advertisers to pull their ads from the show. And they succeeded.
Lowe's pulls ads from 'All-American Muslim' after 'ordinary' portrayal protested.....
I'm OK with this....people asked and Lowe's made a decision. Good for them.
That is EXACTLY what freedom of speech is all about. Of course people could just choose NOT to watch the stupid show and not shop at those who advertise on it as well.
