'Palestinian Authority' boycotting Lowe's
The 'Palestinian Authority' has joined a Muslim boycott of Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse after the chain pulled advertising from a reality show called All-American Muslim. This is from the first link. “This weekend people across the country will be standing up against bigotry and hatred as the ‘Boycott Lowe's’ campaign goes from tweets to the streets,” said the statement.My enemy's enemy is my friend. Go buy something at Lowe's today.
ADC, which endorsed the “Boycott Lowe's' campaign, organized by the National Lowe’s Boycott Network, called on members across the US “to get involved with the campaign and make their voices heard.”
“Organized protests in front of Lowe's locations across the country are only a start of many actions targeted at fighting bigotry and hate,” it said.
The National Lowe’s Boycott Network is a grassroots effort and campaign started by activists across the country in wake of the Lowe's decision to pull advertising from the TLC show “All-American Muslim,” when it succumbed to pressure from the Florida Family Association's bigoted campaign.
Those involved in the Network come from a broad spectrum of religious, ethnic and professional backgrounds who stand against hate and bigotry, said ADC.
Last week, ADC strongly condemned statements by US presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich who called the Palestinian people an “invented people” and 'terrorists.'
ADC expressed the outrage of its members as well as hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Americans and Arab Americans and discredited Gingrich’s “outrageous claims.”

Lowe's did not stop sponsoring All American Muslim due to any perceived boycott from a Christian group, but due to the show's low ratings.
In fact This had a much higher rating than that show.
Time for a BUY-cott!!
Who knew? Palestinians: fixer-uppers!!
So Home Depot is just going to explode with sales to American Muslims who dang it were going to get their new floor tile from Lowes but...
Come to think of it did American Muslims even watch "American Muslim"?
Thanks to your crusade against LOWE’S for pulling their ads from the low-rated ‘All-American Muslim’ show on TLC, LOWE’S stores are reporting record sales so far for the month of December. In fact, this could be their biggest year of all. Your boycott is getting them far more business than their commercials on ‘All-American Muslim’
