Ever heard of The Florida Family Association? Me neither. Evidently, they are conservative Christian wing-nuts who watch a lot of TV. And a TLC show, All-American Muslim, really pisses 'em off.
The program follows a normal extended family -- husbands, wives, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles. They own homes and cars. They go to work and to school. They are U.S. citizens. And they happen to be Islamic, to one degree or another. The show chronicles the prejudice, profiling, and stereotyping they cope with as they go about their lives.
They aren't white and they don't believe in Jesus. The Florida Family Association believes this "sends the wrong message". They launched a letter-writing campaign to get Lowe's to pull its ads and sponsorship from the show. And unbelievably, Lowe's caved in and complied.
Fuck Lowe's! Go to Home Depot.
