    So much for private business in the US.

    I would pull the add too, not necessarily because they are Muslims, but because its yet another TLC show that parades around a minority.

    I think a show like this is a good idea and I think the Florida Family Association is way out of line.

    Outside of the few kooks most Muslims just want to do their own thing in peace just like anyone else.

    I think letting the boogy man out of the closet and showing the west that Muslims and real people with real jobs and the same hopes and fears as the rest of us is a great idea. We are all part of the same community, no matter which god we pray for.

    I think the Muslim percentage of dangerous fanatics in the USA is way lower than the Christian percentage of dangerous fanatics.

    The Christian group is a Douche for what they said, Lowes is a Douche for pulling the Ads, the Senator is a Douche for spouting stupidity.

    Calling the Lowe’s decision “un-American” and “naked religious bigotry,” Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, told The Associated Press on Sunday that he would also consider legislative action if Lowe’s doesn’t apologize to Muslims and reinstate its ads.


    Abuse power much?

    And when was the last time Christian fanatics flew passenger jets into skyscrapers and shot up army bases shouting, "Jesus loves you!" Hm?

    If this was a show about Muslim fanatics you'd have a point.

    It's not, so you don't.

    I haven't watched the show, but I'd guess it's pretty boring. It's about people who pray five times a day and don't drink.

    I'm also waiting for people to slam TLC for airing a show promoting religion.

    Yet the overwhelming majority of Egyptians, Libyans, Tunisians, Morrocans, and Palestinians, when given a democratic choice they consistently select fundamentalist governments that are openly and proudly hostile to non-Muslims.
