25 Dumbest Comments On Lowe’s Facebook Page About “All-American Muslim”

“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.

Classy

Why are we censoring these people’s names? They posted publicly on a corporate facebook page under their own names and therefore obviously wanted their views to be attributable - I say let’s let them.

About

I do lots of things. I'm kind of weird that way.

First and foremost, I'm the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip, where you can discover the best in original web series.

Before that, I ran a consulting company focused on entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases the awesome in online video.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest from politics, to the future of mass media, to the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here. (Latest example: "On Bullying")

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
