The Florida Family Association decided to instigate a letter writing campaign to Lowes (the hardward & applicance chain) to get them to pull their sponsorship of TLC's All-American Muslim. It seems to have worked. Now some Muslims are on their case for caving in to the bigotry.

The North Carolina-based Lowe's issued a statement apologizing for having "managed to make some people very unhappy."
"Individuals and groups have strong political and societal views on this topic, and this program became a lightning rod for many of those views," the statement said. "As a result we did pull our advertising on this program. We believe it is best to respectfully defer to communities, individuals and groups to discuss and consider such issues of importance."
