What color code should we give to these people you speak for? Code White? Code Red? Or just call them The Christian Nutcase Group? They're after all deserving and acting right along the lines of hate/militant groups as you call them.

I don't think Lowe's should have to advertise with anyone, but pulling their ads because of this is stupid. The are free to advertise or not advertise with whoever they please, and the people who upset at Lowe's decision can not give them their business. This is going to impact their business, the only question is to what degree.

To those who think that all muslims are terrorists, maybe you should watch the show. It's meant to stop the stereotypes of what people "think" they know about muslims. I went to school with a lot of them, never met one that was any different than any of the other kids, they just had different religous beliefs, big f'n deal. There are many muslims in the middle east who are terrified of the taliban and other extremists, and want them gone. To think that no muslims are peaceful and that they're all terrorists who want to kill us is stupid and ignorant, plain and simple.

Yes, absolutely.

Every Christian who blindly blames all Muslims for the acts of Muslim terrorists is an advocate of hate.

And a "Christian" group (parenthesis intended to denote the doubtfulness of this description) that is angry because the average American Muslims on the show aren't depicted as terrorists are particularly hateful.

Like the bigots who pressured Lowe's, you're a shining example of the ignorance of the populace on the difference between a normal Muslim follower vs the radical extremists of Islam.



shall we now blame every Christian for the actions of the Westboro Baptist Church?

Shall we now blame all Christians for the actions of James von Brunn (the man who killed a security guard at the National Holocaust Museum).
Liberals already blame all Christians for what the idiots of Westboro does.

BTW, I can see by your post that you have not read the Quran or other religious Islamic writings. I have. They are taught that anything is ok, as long as it is for Allah, meaning that it is ok to lie, cheat, steal, kill and etc. as long as one is doing it for Allah. What that means is that there is no such thing as a moderate muslim inreality. if they follow Islam then they are taught what Christians are not taught. All of that means that there is no real difference between the so called moderates and the radicals. Most supposed moderate Muslims are just as afraid of the radicals as we are but they will not say anything against them because when it comes down to it all they are Muslim.

BTW, speaking of bigots...you might want to look in your nearest mirror!

Look in your nearest mirror and you shall see what you are calling everyone else.

And I'm sure you have an issue with it. After all, you know that the few extremists don't represent Christianity. But, what you engage in here is just what you hate when applied to what is dear to you.

To a thinking person, correct. But if you have any idea how religious fundamentalists work (there, and here), they ALWAYS try to buy and sell using religious beliefs. That is exactly what the idiots forcing Lowe's out of sheer hatred against a religion have done here.

So what was it when the "idiots" were targeting Beck's advertisers?

Lowe's made a poor choice for sure. Giving in to the miniority voice is foolish and shows they are a poorly run company.
