In addition to the well-deserve satire of the Daily Show it received, civil rights groups have also expressed concern about the motivations behind Lowe’s decision.
“We are disappointed with Lowe’s decision to pull advertising from TLC’s ‘All-American Muslim’, since it appears that they took this action in response to an appeal that was rooted in anti-Muslim prejudice,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.
