I'd like to think that at least some of these comments are from trolls simply trying to out-outrageous each other. More likely, they're all members of the Florida Family Association and its ilk, encourage to write in and say "thank you" to Lowe's for knuckling under to their pressure.
The only thing that makes me feel good about the commentary is that it is so gobsmackingly full of typos, misspellings, and second grade grammar mistakes that it's no wonder, given the obvious cognitive disabilities under display, that these people could say such idiotic and hateful things.
That's a much greater comfort than to think these folks represent mainstream America. #ddtb

Some amazing hatred going on in these comments. So disappointed in Lowe's over this. I don't shop there often, but I did buy most of my Christmas lights from them. Won't be doing that again anytime soon.

25 Dumbest Comments On Lowe's Facebook Page About "All-American Muslim"
You don't have to be Christian to be an American. That is all.
"All-American Muslim" is a new series on TLC (The Learning Channel) that follows five Muslim families living in Dearborn, Michigan. Lowe's pulled all of their advertising from the show because a Christian Evangelical group was angry about the network's positive portrayal of Muslim culture.
Mike Jafaar, a police officer, and his family are one of the five followed in the show.

And this is the guy who managed to make Lowe's cry uncle: http://www.religiondispatches.org/dispatches/sarahposner/5492/lowes_bowed_to_pressure_from_man_with_thousands_of_supporters/
I’m curious. During what “Christian” shows does Lowe’s advertise?
All those folks are proud of their bigotry and their ignorance: demonize what you don’t understand. I’m willing to bet that none of them even watched a minute of the show, but just did as they were asked to by whatever means they were contacted.
When “liberals aka commies” get riled up about something on TV or radio, and start a petition drive, they usually include clips of the offending message. Some even suggest you listen/watch for yourself.
@Marina – It’s a command and control attitude — “We know the truth, you don’t need to question, just hop to it and complain.” Besides, I’m sure the folks who peppered Lowe’s with complaints, already knew, deep in their indoctrinated hearts, that all Muslims are baby-eating terrorists out to destroy Jesus and America, so it’s not like they really needed to watch the show to know it was a lie.
