    Companies like Dell, Walmart, Lowes and Campbells have pulled their advertising from a TLC show called 'All American Muslims' - the show portrays a normal American family who are muslim..

    the reasons are just great, wait for this ****;
    “The show profiles only Muslims that appear to be ordinary folks while excluding many Islamic believers whose agenda poses a clear and present danger to liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish,”
    “Clearly this program is attempting to manipulate Americans into ignoring the threat of jihad and to influence them to believe that being concerned about the jihad threat would somehow victimize these nice people in this show.”

    That's right, the same company pulled ads from seventh heaven years back for daring to show a normal Christian family without highlighting the dangers of things like the KKK or the Timothy Mc Veighs... oh wait.. no they didnt.

    Truly the land of the free. :pac:

    Well, to be fair, Tim was a terrorist enraged by government ineptitude and its increasingly overbearing manner. The KKK meanwhile just didn't like blacks, and did nasty things to them. They're not really comparable to some members of a religion who want to change the Western culture into which they have imported themselves, and bring us to the enlightened world-view and societal model which we see in the Muslim world and of which we are all of course completely jealous (women particularly). Minority perhaps, but fairly vocal as collapsing buildings and Sharia law in England might let you know.

    I think their actions point out that there is indeed freedom, in so far as how you spend your money at least.

    These guys are fascists pure and simple... it is crazy to think that after decades of suffering to gain the civil rights movement, that discrimination is still prevalent, same thinking, different people. http://theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/all-american-muslim

    The businesses who bowed to pressure as a result of the campaign by Florida Family
    http://floridafamily.org/full_article.php?article_no=108 by pulling their advertisements are cowardly and disgusting, their way of thinking has no place in a modern progressive world. **** them.

    I don't condone Cavan people inter-breeding with normal people. They're just watering down good genes.

    US of A " Syria has beaten and abused its own people and must be punished". Don't mention how the good old US of A battered its own "Occupy whatever" protesters off the streets though. "Land of the free"?? GTFO.
