Why on earth would Lowe's take their advertising...
What is going on here? How could this happen? Why on earth would Lowe’s take their advertising off? Who OK’d that move? What planet am I on?
There is no room for tolerance for this type of BS. Lowes- what you have done is wrong. Stand up, admit and reverse your awful and ignorant mistake, and move forward.

All Americans deserve respect
I can’t understand why you would run scared of what I believe is a fringe right-wing Christian group, not representative of most Christians in this country. It is a core American principle that all citizens have the right to be respected, regardless of religion. By your actions, you have defamed a whole group of Americans. Please admit your error, apologize, and reinstate your...
AND THIS IS 2012??????
WHAT’S WITH THE IDEA THAT ONE RELIGIOUS BELIEF IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER AND THAT IT HAS THE RIGHT TO PASS JUDGMENT ON ANY ONE THAT IS NOT OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH? WHAT ARE YOU-SOME IGNORANT SUPERSTITIOUS HICKS THAT BELIEVE THAT THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN MYTH IS THE ABSOLUTE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING???!!!!!!!!! HOW ANTIQUATED AND INHUMANE—YOU’RE SHOWING YOUR IGNORANCE AMERICA.

Boycott Bigotry and not Free Press
I reject LOWE’S’ decision to cave in to religious bigotry. This is a free country based on free press and religious freedom. I hope you will change your stand and let free press shine again. Thank you

I hope everyone sees your shame
I hope everyone sees your shame. I grew up in the Marine Corp as an officers daughter. I am of European and Native descent. I am a Muslim. I am not a radical and I am not a terrorist. I am a human being not a label.

Unfortunately we can no longer patronize Lowe's
from a concerned citizen to Lowe's
Has any one at Lowe’s ever read the Bible, Jesus certainly never preached bigotry.

We're so disappointed in Lowe's
PR Daily says Lowe's committed one of the top PR...
Check out #5 on PR Daily’s “top 10 PR blunders of 2011”:
5. Lowe’s angers Muslim-Americans With the exception of the payroll tax cuts, the Lowe’s debacle is the most recent gaffe on this list, starting in early December when the hardware chain pulled its ads from a TLC show “All-American Muslim” after a conservative group expressed concern. Clearly, no one from Lowe’s...
No Lowe's For Me
For Until Change Kills Lowe’s Bigotry Policy, I Wll Not Shop There.
Lowes vs Home Depot
I’m not surprised at the AFA’s request of Lowes; I am surprised that Lowes bowed to such prejudicial pressure.
I guess you can count me as one of those who had preferred Lowes over Home Depot, but until Lowes reverses itself, I’ll go a little out of my way to do my shopping at HD….

Don't buy Lowe's!
As long as Lowe’s feels the need to avoid controversy to such a degree that it is willing to practice discrimination and promote prejudice — all just to make a buck — I cannot in good conscience shop there. Don’t buy Lowe’s!

Message to Lowe's
It is action like yours strenghtens hatred and discriminations. Having sponsored and then withdrawing, without any consciousness, caving in to some hatred group is really apalling and shameful. All citizens of good will that includes nearly 10 million muslims living in the US will boycott your stores nationwide. Better publicly apologise for your action and stop this kind of thoughtless actions in...
Serves you right.
Lowe’s, Lowe’s, how many times have I told you not to play with the ignorant, hate-mongering kids down the street. Well, I hope you have learned a good lesson.

Lowes Bigotry
Let me get this straight. Lowe’s preferred customer base is ultra conservative, bigoted christian, and right wing “we are the conscience of America” customer. I being none of the above, will never shop your store again.

Think of how the history books will see you

I will NEVER shop at Lowe’s again. Too bad because we’re about to buy a house in CA…Home Depot here I come!!!
Boycott Lowe's & Shop at Local Independents...
Fight bigotry and help revive your local economy at the same time by shopping at the locally-owned businesses in your community. Buy their products. Eat their food. Use their services. In turn, these locally owned and operated businesses will continually pump your hard-earned dollars back into the local economy by way of taxes, payrolls and purchases.
- Adam Staerkel
no more of my $
I’m still boycotting target and I guess I can add Lowe’s to my list.
Companies that sell to the mass public and do not discriminate in who gives them money for their products should be neutral.
They should not play to a public religious or political agenda.
I for one am sick of this type of intolerance being ok.
-David Cook
No more business with Lowes
I buy a lot of hardware and wood for my small business from the big box stores. But not from Lowe’s anymore. I won’t even go into their parking lot. This has been a boon for Home Depot. They have picked up at least 7 thousand from me in yearly purchases. I stopped when Lowe’s bigotry and pandering to far right christian hate groups was announced. Too bad for their employees that...
I am shocked!!!!!
I never heard of anything so ridiculous - All American Muslim is a great show that promotes understanding! Islam is a beautiful religion (I’m NOT a muslim) if you take the time to learn about it. There are wacko “Christian” terrorists too. I am so upset here, I spend a lot of my money at Lowe’s and love it, especially the gardening dept. Now I can no longer shop there -...
Lowe's and the 1%
This is an example of how the 1% try to incite fear and hatred world-wide. War increases profits, peace and brotherhood (yes unions too) are the biggest threats to the rich and powerful. It is that simple, folks!

Teach Tolerance
Lowe’s is setting a terrible example. How can they stand behind the bigotry and hatred of ill informed people. Don ‘t tolerate it and don’t shop in Lowes, Let’s hit them where it hurts in the pocket book.

Boycott
I’m appalled at your bigotry in pulling the ads from All-American Muslims” show. I will be going to Home Depot from now on!

Florida-based American Taliban
The main reason many of the first colonists came to America was to escape religious persecution in Europe. The Christian Evangelical Conservatives are equal to the worst prejudice and hate this country has ever experienced. In fact, I rank them right up there with the Taliban. Until Lowe’s acts in a more American manner, I will stop shopping at the local Lowe’s and encourage friends...
Lowes ... love your hardware direction, but...
Lowes … please don’t tell me that you actually believe anything that the ONE sick and hateful man who operates the horrible Florida Family Association thinks ! Shame on you for your spineless reaction.

no more Lowe’s for me til you reinstate your ads to “all American Muslims”
shame on you

Shame on Lowes
Shame on you, shame on you. No more business from me. You call yourself ‘home improvement store’ but hate and bigotry is something I would NEVER use to “improve my home.”
- Tad Mott
This saves me a stamp!
I was about to write to Lowe’s to the company how I will NEVER again shop there, and will also tell others to refrain from doing so. Lowe’s has a huge store in Brooklyn, but it’s surrounded by an even bigger long-standing Arab-American community—both Muslim & Christian. If these local customers are not boycotting or picketing in force in front of the store as we speak,...
Boycott Bigotry
We the people of this Country are fed up with the Religious bully of a Right Wing one man crusade. I will not buy any thing from your establishment until you get it together and realize that this the U.S.
