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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

That's a much greater comfort than to think these folks represent mainstream America. #ddtb<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t25 Dumbest Comments On Lowe's Facebook Page About "All-American Muslim"<\/a>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYou don't have to be Christian to be an American. That is all.<\/p>\n

"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.<\/p>\n

Mike Jafaar, a police officer, and his family are one of the five followed in the show.<\/p>\n
