Mr. Niblock,

This message is in response to your decision to pull advertising from the television show All-American Muslim.

By bending to the will of a few anti-Muslim bigots you have further enabled their prejudice. At the same time, you have offended millions of Americans - Muslim and otherwise - who understand real Muslims don't support terrorists acts being carried out in their name any more than all Lutherans and Republicans support Timothy McVeigh's terrorist actions in Oklahoma City (McVeigh was Lutheran, and Republican).

I'll no longer be shopping at Lowe's until you have atoned for this action. Hopefully, that will be soon.

Sincerely,
