No way! Lowes lost the entire American Muslim jihadist suicide bomber market. That was huge. The increased number of new Islamaphobic bigots who will now shop at Lowes could not possibly make up the difference with guns and bullets. American Muslim jihadist suicide bombers never worry about maxing their credit cards.

Part of the problem are people like Daniel Pipes and Gisele Littman(Bat Ye’or) and websites like:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com

which push vitriolically anti-Muslim/Islam hate propaganda

Lets recap.


A group of Islamaphobic bigots complained to Lowes that they objected to a TV reality show which portrayed Muslim Americans as normal people rather than a demonized stereotype and Lowes pulled their advertising. As a result of media controversy, more people will watch the series increasing advertising revenue and at the same time helping people recognize manipulative BS like the above crap.

Or when Target banned the USMC's Toys for Tots Program!

Lowes will survive but it was foolish to pull adds. Then again... they may pick up more business for doing so.

I don't know if we have Target here, but I'd boycott them for something like that.

Nope, but I hear Target may be moving. I remember when Eagle Hardware was in Canada. Lasted about a year. Few of our eagles needed renovation.

Yes, Club Zed points will be zees.

Club Zed, gone. Zeddy Bear, long gone.

Oh well, I don't currently shop at Zellers anyway it'll be fairly easy to not shop at Target then. So I can live up to my word AND not have to do anything.

I like it when that happens! :)

no surprise. Personally, I went to Lowes down here in the SE of Calgary once, never again. My wife had a girlfriend that went to work for them, lasted about a month. This just reinforces my low opinion of that chain.

Why was she fired?

I hope no one decides to fly any planes into any Lowes outlets.

Why?............oh, right, no time to evacuate

Don't we have "Little Mosque on the Prairie"?

I'd have to watch it to know which advertisers to boycott;-)

BTW I never noticed any outrage except maybe from Yukon Jack when the Liberal left in the state boycotted Glenn Beck advertisers for a while....:lol:

You've watched it?? Jesus, Das, congrats. I've looked at the adverts for it, but they were so sickening PC, I couldn't watch it.

Lol, why do you assume she was fired? Maybe she quit.

C'mon; she's a friend of Gerry's.................wouldn't take no ****. she didn't quit. ask him.

I am tiring of all this Muslim paranoia. Can't we fear the Germans, Hungarians, and Italians again? Ahhh, the good old days! Wasn't there a series called the All American Italian? Didn't it star James Gandolfini?

Hockey season is underway, give it time, the unwashed masses will soon fixate on that instead.

Muslims gotta learn to contribute more to the communities that they live in.
They don't contribute to any professional sports activities, either watching or participating,

You overlooked the Irish, Chinese, Japanese, and of course the Mexicans. And then, of course, there were the commies who actually crossed all racial and ethnic barriers.

Geezus, I forgot all about the better-red-than-dead crowd. Yep, the old terrors, don't you miss them? Perhaps we should include the Austrians in case they feel neglected. And, of course the Apaches.

When you hear the patter of little feet,
It's the whole First Cav in a full retreat,
They're movin' on,
They'll soon be gone.
They're burnin' gas, they're haulin' a**,
They're movin' on.

When the mortars started fallin' round the CP tent,
Everybody wondered where the high brass went,
[Continue as above.]

Doggie and Marine was on the line,
FDoggie says, "Marine, you're doin' just fine,
But I'm movin' on,
I'll soon be gone.
They're shootin' too fast for my little ole a**,
I'm movin' on."
