A picture of an obviously anti American Muslim family being anti-American and it's clear that they're plotting the downfall of America.
A recent story on thinkprogress.com tells of a new reality show on TLC about being Muslim in America has had ads pulled by a number of companies due to a scumbag religious organization calling for a boycott of the show.
The group called the Florida Family Association, likes to brag apparently that 65 of the 67 companies that it has targeted have pulled their ads.
This angers me in a few different ways. First and foremost, what the hell kind of country have we become when a religious lobbying group can dictate the advertising dollars of large, major companies by using what I’m assuming to be lies and half truths? Isn’t this America, land of the free? I understand that if I question the freedom of speech of companies to advertise that many religous freaks will say the same thing. Don’t they have a freedom to speak their mind and don’t the companies have a freedom to listen? Yes they do. They do have a right to speak, but with that right comes a responsibility. A responsibility to speak truth. While I don’t have details of the campaigns wrought by the FFA, one can only imagine the shenigans that went on here.
From the article, The Islamic Circle of North America is urging concerned citizens to call Lowe’s and protest their withdrawal of advertising: “We urge the American Muslim community and our friends, family, neighbors and all people of conscience to call Lowe’s CEO Robert Niblock at (704) 758-2084 or Executive Support Mr. Andrew Kilby at (866) 900-4650 and respectfully complain about this decision.”
