To: Advertisers on TLC's "All American Muslim"
Stop bigoted attacks on TLC's "All-American Muslim"
We the undersigned, as concerned Americans and as your consumers, call for your continued advertising support during TLC's reality show, "All-American Muslim."
Why is this important?
"All-American Muslim," a reality TV show about the lives of mainstream Muslim Americans, premiered in November on The Learning Channel to critical acclaim and a record 1.7 million viewers.
The show portrays five American Muslim families in Dearborn, Michigan and shows the shared values of Americans of all faiths—whether they be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist.
Yet no sooner had the show premiered than anti-Islam hate-mongers called on the TLC's advertisers to pull their commercials in an attempt to strangle the show off of the air. One advertiser has already caved—Lowe's, the big box home improvement store.
