ADT Home Security in Virginia

My Fellow American-TLC All-American Muslim

by: ElizabethPotter

Thu Dec 22, 2011 at 06:12:21 AM EST


As you may have recently seen in the news outlets, Lowe's Home Improvement recently pulled its ads from the TLC show All-American Muslim in response to an organization claiming the show "falsely humanized Muslims in America." This controversy has exposed more Islamophobia in America which falls directly in line with what the My Fellow American project is trying to prevent and overcome in America.

As a supporter of the project, would you please visit www.myfellowamerican.us to share what this controversy means to you? We encourage you to to help spread the message of tolerance to fight back against intolerance and fear-mongering. We've just posted a host of new content from various entertainers and faith leaders on this topic.  There is also a pledge button to show your support to the cause.

all-american Muslim (0.00 / 0)
what has happened to us as americans?  we "are" the land of religious fredom! muslims,jews and christens alike all recognized abraham as a leader of his people.  that's all of us, together. how hard is that to figure out.  

There has always been bigotry in this country. (0.00 / 0)
Nothing new there. Over the years, almost every minority racial and ethnic group has been discriminated against in some way, as have many religious groups. The focus on Muslims is relatively new, though, mostly since 9/11 as far as I can determine. I agree, though, it's unacceptable no matter what the reason.
