Fuck everything about this.http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/on-faith/companies-pull-ads-from-muslim-reality-tv-show/2011/12/09/gIQANywmiO_story.html

Lowe's has pulled its advertising from the reality TV show "All-American Muslim," which the retail store called a "lightning rod."
"All-American Muslim" is an eight-part series that follows five Muslim families living in Dearborn, Michigan.
"Lowe's has received a significant amount of communication on this program, from every perspective possible. Individuals and groups have strong political and societal views on this topic, and this program became a lightning rod for many of those views. As a result we did pull our advertising on this program," the company said in a statement Saturday.
"We believe it is best to respectfully defer to communities, individuals and groups to discuss and consider such issues of importance."
“’All-American Muslim’ is propaganda clearly designed to counter legitimate and present-day concerns about many Muslims who are advancing Islamic fundamentalism and Sharia law,†[the Florida Family Association] asserts in a letter it asks members to send to TLC advertisers.
“The show profiles only Muslims that appear to be ordinary folks while excluding many Islamic believers whose agenda poses a clear and present danger to the liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish,†the FFA’s letter continues.

Good point. This made me think. Who would rather have as your neighbors, hardcore fundamentalist Christians, or extremist Muslims? I think I'd rather have the Muslims next door myself.

In that case, probably the Christians. They're a known quantity to me, which probably sounds kind of bad, but Christians are more concerned about social issues rather than having some grand political ideology that I personally abhor.
If it were between non-extremist Muslims vs. fundamentalist Christians, I'd pick the Muslims.

I wonder how long Fundamentalist Christians will poke, prod and piss off muslims before all hell breaks loose between the two.
