Lowe's pulls ads from TV show about US Muslims

[Sofiyya 1,687]

Here's a question(s):

In these countries where a woman can be put in prison for being raped; I'm assuming that most people find that as appaling as I do. What is it going to take for things to change there? Obviously, since she was freed after a petition was sent in, the people in authority will listen when there is a public outcry; so, why isn't there more protests over these types of situations? Why is this even allowed to occur at all?

What countries do this? Name 'em.

That's the difference between a lot of Muslims and the 21st century culture in the West. Muslims will march in the streets by the thousands burning flags, torching cars and embassies while putting a bounty on some guy over a cartoon, yet they don't seem to do much over some gal being put in prison after she was raped.

Muslims have their priority's all fckd up.

You don't really know what goes on locally. You're just assuming you know.

Link me then to the vids and articles with pics of the mass protest going on for this rape victim sitting in prison. I'm sure Al Jezzera would have something on it if there was anything worth reporting. Maybe even a local paper or two.

Link me please.

While your at it lets see the international condemnation from leaders of other Muslim countries in regards to this girl, or even similar instances of this that go on in other Muslim countries. Iran comes to mind as does Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Iv'e yet to see anything like that in the press or on the news, and my news isn't just limited to Western owned press.

The lac of a mass protest doesn't indicate a lack of morality. A rape victim, jailed in Florida, didn't inspire mass protests. Are Americans all immoral creatures now?

Give it up. The more you post the deeper the hole gets.

You don't set the bar for what world leaders do. Nor do either of us control what is published in the press. I fail to see your point, seriously. In fact, your effort are funny considering you have nothing to go on for your opinions other than the media, which has proven biases.

You can't generalize everybody just because they are one religion or another. If you add the total number of muslims in the world... its more than 1.5 billion. Out of that 1.5 billion you have a sect that does indeed go against what Islam is about. Just as you have christians, jews, hindus, etc that also go against their own teaching. If muslims wanted to do harm to everybody... with 1.5 billion of them don't you think they could just do it?

Most of muslims, jews, christians are peaceful caring ppl just wanting to create a life with their families happily and help others.

So i do think this is just wrong of Lowes to pull this add when all this show is trying to do is create some knowledge instead of fear.

I agree too its much better to watch this type of show rather than some crazy reality show that goes against good values and morals.

So why is muslim community making a big deal of Lowes pulling it out.

If they want to pull out let them pull out why are ppl whining and crying.

Not really; your black hole started deeper than mine can ever get. I've lived in the places you only read about, and my job involved dealing with victims of injustice, so I definitely know there is more to this than the one-dimensional demonic vision you offer of Muslim people.

You enjoy stirring up hatred and religious division. That's a trend on this board that, thank God, doesn't reflect real life. I depend on the fact that there are more leaders out there than followers who uncritically believe everything they read on the internet.

Is this an argument for Why Me's theory that Muslim people are inherently more violent towards women than "western" people ?

People are " whining and crying" bc Lowes gave into to a crazy schoolyard bully. You're crying and whining about the western countries giving in to muslims..if they want to accomodate them why are you whining and crying?

My husband lived in Algeria until the age of 24. I won't go into details of why he left Algeria, which was the reason behind his asylum claim, but he's happy to live in a place that affords him the right to live with decency and self respect. We are normal people just like you all: we botb have degrees and work full time, we save for retirement and college funds, we go to hershey park and disney world, we grocery shop, we argue, I criticize his driving, and just about every other stupid mundane thing you do on a daily basis. The only difference being he has some facial fuzz and I wear a scarf. We're normal people who just want to raise our children and have a happy life. Start seeing us as real people...there are hundreds of millions of muslims just like us.

The leaders of some Western Countries want to accommodate them, not the people living in said countries.

Then I'm sure you don't have a problem with any of our secular laws in this country and being a devout Muslim I'm sure you have made your voice heard in regards to the crimes being committed against Muslim women in Muslim countries. I mean that is all part of being a "good Muslim" isn't it?

You don't answer any of my questions. When you do, we can talk.

You know and I know that those figures are due to the Natives up here. It's nothing for them do get drunk and screw the nearest female no matter if or how she's related. It's what they do.

Oh my God, it's always somebody other than the white man, isn't it?
