the ratings of the show are in the toilet. instead of getting all uppity and self righteous with your boycotting just ONE out of SIXTY-FIVE companies that pulled ads, maybe you should have actually WATCHED the show if you wanted ads on there.
They didn't just decide they didn't want to sponsor the show.They did what the gentleman in the video said....they caved to american bigotry from the right.And this asshole Eric Blowing who said its unamerican to boycott should talk to his comrade bill o'reilly who promoted boycotts for dixie chicks records during the bush administration just to mention one.O'reilly loves boycotts.But I aqgree theres nothing wrong with boycotts....there is something wrong with eric blowing promoting prejudice
Warning to Americans: As long as you continue to be force-fed a daily sanitized version of Islam by corrupt media outlets like CNN or a State Department campaign declaring that America is at war against terrorists but not Islam, your Middle East policy will continue to be marked by failure and your interests both home and abroad will remain in danger.
Why don't any of the media bring up the fact that one of the main characters/person in the show "All American Muslim" has known ties to Hamas and Hezbollah groups here in the U.S where she often attends and speaks at their rallies??
Could this show promote 80% of American Mosques to hand out literature on how to Jihad against Americans?
This month's journal, "Perspectives on Terrorism" has a study showing 80% of the Mosques disseminate materials teaching their congregations to Jihad against Americans.
@drbillbledsoe I agree with Jasser, too, but you're spouting fear-mongering nonsense. The Hollywood shooting had absolutely nothing to do with this show.
Muslims are being distrusted by Americans because they do not speak out against Sharia Law and its Jihad against Americans.
So I asked the above questions. I did not fear-monger. I did not have Islamophobia. I was not prejudice against Muslims.
Muslims have more to fear from Sharia Law than Americans. Sharia law is the true enemy of all Muslims and all Americans. It is legal to kill other-sect-Muslims, or Americans, under Sharia Law.
@drbillbledsoe Think about it for a minute. Imagine you're a Muslim who's just read a question that suggests the shooting and this show are related. Do you really think you'd be inclined to answer such a silly thing? To treat it as anything but an ignorant bit of fear-mongering? I wouldn't.
I'm well aware of the horrors of Sharia. I think it should be discussed so people understand what it's about. But statements like yours make things worse, not better.
Again, discussing the dangers of Sharia Law with Americans is not Fear Mongering, Islamophobia or Anti-Muslim.
Your name calling only strengthens Dr. Jasser's point. Americans fear Muslims because Muslims are afraid to speak out against Sharia Law.
Under Sharia Law, any Muslim that speaks out against Sharia Law could be executed if they return to visit their families in Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia or other Sharia Law countries
Lowe's pay for advertising with their own cash, if they see fit to spend it in their own way then by all means they have that right, this is America after all, not some controlled corner of the former USSR. I admire Dr. Jasser, he's a thoughtful man using reason unlike the rather sleazy CAIR outfit, and this is not the first time he has stepped into the fray to say his piece. Well done Sir.
I wonder what would happen if the other 60-65 companies that also withdrew their advertising (but didn't state why the way Lowe's did, thus distinguishing itself) weren't silent? CAIR, with its shameless use of freedom-loving, Muslim Americans as a victim-shield, as well as the liberal groups it exploits, would find itself in a whole new ballgame. Lowe's by itself can be vilified - but all of them?
@MissAPierce Okay, you may have a point, since the others have remained silent, do we really know why they pulled their ads? Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. That said, why would anyone who isn't an anti Muslim bigot have a problem with this show? I only saw one episode, but there was nothing shocking or offensive in it, and it definitely didn't promote anything that went against classical liberal values.
Listen even the average American knows not all muslims are terrorists, but Muslims also have a rich history of publicly saying they hate terrorists and terrorism but secretly supporting it.
@nahAlban That maybe true, but there are people out there, including in America, unfortunately, who think that Muslims are inherently untrustworthy, because they are Muslims. Many Americans (not most thankfully) believe that the overwhelming majority of Muslim want to live in an Islamic theocracy, and that Islam, is so incompatible with secularism and democracy, that is impossible for a state with a Muslim majority to be a genuinely free country.
@GargamelGold Well I mean which would you like to use as an example Saudi arabia is a monarchy + sharia or Maybe Syria which is a military dictatorship the closest one would be jordan
@GargamelGold Turkey is basically a military dicatorship the military there refuses to allow islam to run the country, I don't know much about albania to be honest but I do know it was one country that supplied the SS with soliders in world war 2
@nahAlban I remember hearing about a huge protest where large numbers of Turkish people protested on behalf of secularism, openly opposing Islamists and Turkey was the world's first secular Muslim nation. Also there are a couple of videos on Albanian Muslim during WW2 that you might want to watch. Watch both of these videos "Besa: Muslims Who Saved Jews in World War II" and "Muslim Heroes of the Holocaust - Robert Satloff." I think you will be pleasantly surprised to say the least.
@GargamelGold I've seen them I do quite a bit of research on this subject, and I know I don't hate every muslim on the planet but for every muslim that I can trust there are ten others I have issues with.
@nahAlban Go to Loon Watch and and Spencer Watch and Look up Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller and Walid Shoebat. Also look at what the Southern Poverty Law Center and Hate Watch has to say about them, and their research.
@GargamelGold I have see some of their stuff but I mean they are only as bad as the anti islamophobes both are guilty of only looking at only one side of the issue there is darkness in islam mysogini being rife in their religon
@nahAlban Than talk to Klingschor. He has two channels on youtube. He's another critic of Islam, and he takes issue with anti Muslim bigots like Robert Spencer. Talk to him, and he'll tell how unreasonable he is and what a liar he is really is, along with other people like him who demonize Muslims. Also talk talk to CEMBadmins, another critic of Islam on youtube who takes issue with such people. He's also an ex Muslim. I recommend all three of their channels on my page.
@nahAlban By the way, given the fact that anti Muslim bigots like Spencer and Geller, preach hatred and paranoia, for you to say that the people who oppose them are just as bad is non nonsensical, even if on occasion the people who oppose them are wrong, and maybe even do go too far in the other direction. Convincing people that most Muslims in the west are terrorists, or secretly terrorist sympathizers, when there's no evidence for that, will do far more harm than good.
@GargamelGold You Muslims are the ones full of hate. You hate Jews and Christians. You also support Hamas, Boko Haram, and the Muslim Brotherhood. You also defend CAIR, a front for Hamas that masquerades as a civil rights group.
@GargamelGold nahAlban is right. The average non-Muslim American doesn't fear their fellow American Muslims. We're not bigots. But we see what radical Islamism does, we know it's preached in mosques (and it's been well-documented in Dearborn itself), and we know this show isn't being honest. Muslims say that there is so much debate within their community about radicalism, that they stand up for moderate Islam without any desire to impose Sharia, but the rest of us never see it...
@GargamelGold ...because the debate is kept internal. What we see instead is Jessica Mokdad. We see arrest after arrest of bomb plotters. We read hate-filled diatribes from imams in mosques here. We see CAIR leading the charge against an amusement park, calling it bigoted and racist, just because it insisted that its "no headgear" safety rule on rides be followed by women wearing hijabs. Meanwhile, no criticism of these things comes from the Muslim community
@MissAPierce If you look carefully, you'll see a lot of anti Muslim bigotry coming from a lot of American politicians, and frankly, its disturbing. If it wasn't wide spread, don't you think these people would try harder to cover it up at least?
@GargamelGold The only criticism we hear is that we're bigots for questioning any of it. We know that "All-American Muslim" is not the comprehensive depiction of the Dearborn Muslim community it sells itself as, and most Muslims know that, too. But would they ever say so? We doubt it. And when things like this happen, with CAIR once again at the helm crying "racism," we have all the more reason to doubt.
@MissAPierce Off course its not a comprehensive depiction of the Dearborn Muslim Community,but how could it ever be even if that's what the producers of the show desired? What they are trying to do, is show non Muslims, particular Americans who are not Muslims, that there are a significant number of Muslims out there, who live in America, who are not bad people, and our not our enemies.
@GargamelGold Then they're telling us something we already know. And it does try to sell itself as comprehensive, but doesn't bother, not even with those it features, like imam Husham Alhusayni, who has compared Jews to Jeffrey Dahmer, and dedicated a Dearborn soccer match in the honor of Palestinian suicide bombers. Doesn't show that, does it? No, it shows him performing marriages.
@MissAPierce I'm not denying that people like that exist, and I don't know of anyone else who is. I'm just saying that far too many people think that's the norm for Muslims, and I really think this show could help combat that type of thinking.
@GargamelGold How can that show possibly help when it's blatantly featuring a hate-monger and passing him off as a cuddly old codger? How does it help Muslims, like, say, Jessica Mokdad, a young Dearborn woman whose stepfather ran her over and killed her because she was too "Americanized'? What do you think this show tells Muslims like her, besides making it clear that even TV "reality" shows are complicit in covering up the kind of pressure they face from radicals?
@GargamelGold Gee, I don't know. Maybe they don't want to be called bigots. Anyway, yes, I can. He's a signatory of 2009's Jerusalem Document, which is full of praise for Hezbollah and calls for sons of the diasapora to prepare for Jihad against "the Zionists" all over the world. Sean Hannity asked him to denounce Hezbollah; he wouldn't. As for the soccer game comment, there's no record I know of except...
@MissAPierce a news brief that appeared on Arab-American News dot com, which has since been taken down.
Would you like some more lovely info on what it's like in the Dearborn community? How about a report (by a Muslim group) which shows that 81% of Muslims in the greater Detroit area think Sharia should be the law of the land in Muslim-majority countries? Or how about...
@GargamelGold I gave you his name in the post I mentioned him first in, and in light of the apparent fact that you didn't read it, I wonder how foolish it would make me to keep shoveling more proof at you.
@GargamelGold Or how about the fact that only Islam is allowed to be proselytized at the annual Arab International Festival? Seriously. People have been arrested for handing out Christian literature - even Arab Christians. I'm an atheist, but that still worries me.
I can't help noticing you're not asking for proof about Jessica Mokdad. I guess what happened to her is less worrisome to you than an imam being accused of hate speech.
@MissAPierce Claiming that the producers of "All American Muslim," are intentionally, or even unintentionally covering this up, is a fairly extraordinary claim. You are going to need some hard evidence, if you want to convince me or anyone else who is thinking critically.
@MissAPierce wait, so is this "imam Husham Alhusayni" the guy you were talking about later? Its not that I didn't read this comment. I think I was kind of confused, but you still haven't sited a source quoting him.
@MissAPierce I just looked up Husham Alhusayni and the first thing I found on him, supporting your claim was Pamella Geller's Atlas Shrug's website, if that was your source or your source used that as a source, you actually have very good reason to doubt it. Geller is a liar and a nut job.
@MissAPierce Okay, I found another source claim that Husham Alhusayni is an extremist, but its written by that fake ex Muslim, fake ex terrorist, Walid Shoebat. Not looking good so far. No reliable sources backing up your claim so far.
@GargamelGold Dr. Jasser, on the other hand, is one of the few who gives non-Muslims reason to believe the Muslim community treasures truth and inviolate secular American rights, and that there really is anti-radical dialogue happening. Supporting one of him is better than standing up for a hundred phony, sugar-coated pop reality shows like "All-American Muslim."
@MissAPierce I'm not saying he doesn't care. I said he meant well in a previous comment, but he's far from the only Muslim out there who is standing up for freedom and secularism. There are many other, some of which you have probably never heard of.
@GargamelGold I know very well Jasser's know the only one, and you should really refrain from telling people what they do and do not know. I daresay you didn't know that one of "All-American Muslim's" featured imams privately (and publicly in Arabic, when he's overseas) spews hate speech. Otherwise you wouldn't be insisting "All-American Muslims" is some beacon of honesty, would you?
@AIFDtv Why wouldn't "All American Muslim," do more to fight anti Muslim bigotry, than a show that is a work of fiction? Given the fact these are real people, not actors playing a part, people have more reason to take it seriously, and it will encourage people not to fear people just because they are Muslims.
@AIFDtv How is a non fiction show that shows ordinary American Muslims to be decent human beings, not going to help fight bigotry against Muslims? Also, Even If Lowe's was correct, and I don't think they were, how is boycotting them, going against American values?
Dr. Jasser, As a Muslim, have you not experienced any anti Muslim bigotry? know for a fact that there are anti Muslim bigots who think you are a liar when you say you oppose the extremists just because you are a Muslim. Do you not see how this show could help fight anti Muslim bigotry, by letting people know that not all Muslims are terrorists or support theocracy? Don't non Muslims need to see that Muslim are really ordinary people as well?

@GargamelGold Muslims are liars who lecture people on tolerance, yet they support suicide bombers.

@MissAPierce Okay, I found another source claim that Husham Alhusayni is an extremist, but its written by that fake ex Muslim, fake ex terrorist, Walid Shoebat. Not looking good so far. No reliable sources backing up your claim so far.

@GargamelGold Dr. Jasser, on the other hand, is one of the few who gives non-Muslims reason to believe the Muslim community treasures truth and inviolate secular American rights, and that there really is anti-radical dialogue happening. Supporting one of him is better than standing up for a hundred phony, sugar-coated pop reality shows like "All-American Muslim."

@MissAPierce I'm not saying he doesn't care. I said he meant well in a previous comment, but he's far from the only Muslim out there who is standing up for freedom and secularism. There are many other, some of which you have probably never heard of.

@GargamelGold I know very well Jasser's know the only one, and you should really refrain from telling people what they do and do not know. I daresay you didn't know that one of "All-American Muslim's" featured imams privately (and publicly in Arabic, when he's overseas) spews hate speech. Otherwise you wouldn't be insisting "All-American Muslims" is some beacon of honesty, would you?

@AIFDtv Why wouldn't "All American Muslim," do more to fight anti Muslim bigotry, than a show that is a work of fiction? Given the fact these are real people, not actors playing a part, people have more reason to take it seriously, and it will encourage people not to fear people just because they are Muslims.

@AIFDtv How is a non fiction show that shows ordinary American Muslims to be decent human beings, not going to help fight bigotry against Muslims? Also, Even If Lowe's was correct, and I don't think they were, how is boycotting them, going against American values?

@AIFDtv,
Dr. Jasser, As a Muslim, have you not experienced any anti Muslim bigotry? know for a fact that there are anti Muslim bigots who think you are a liar when you say you oppose the extremists just because you are a Muslim. Do you not see how this show could help fight anti Muslim bigotry, by letting people know that not all Muslims are terrorists or support theocracy? Don't non Muslims need to see that Muslim are really ordinary people as well?

@GargamelGold The real bigots are those crybabies at CAIR.
