CAIR-Chicago Executive Director Ahmed Rehab talks to WGN Radio's Jonathon Brandmeier about how the home improvement chain, Lowe's, gave in to anti-Muslim bigotry when it decided to pull its ads off the show 'All-American Muslim'.

“It’s a stupid decision morally and a stupid decision economically,” said Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the Council on Islamic-American Relations Chicago. “They need to acknowledge their error and that they got duped by right-wing bigots, apologize and resume their ads.”

Ahmed Rehab discusses the ridiculous decision by the chain store Lowe’s to pull it advertisements from the show ‘All-American Muslim.’ “Imagine if a major American advertiser were to pull its ads off of 'Jersey Shore' because they received objections that the show, while portraying a group of Italian-Americans, made the glaring error of excluding Mafiosi," writes Rehab.

"We were really disappointed and stunned that Lowe's, a major corporation, would take such a stupid decision to side with bigotry," said Ahmed Rehab, executive director of CAIR-Chicago. Rehab called the group's action a step in the wrong direction and an insult to the Muslim community.

Chicago activist, Ahmed Rehab, said a conference call was planned with Muslim groups and other groups to craft a response. He said it is not too late, however, for Lowe's to fix things. "There will be room for reconciliation," he said. "We would call on Lowe's to do the right thing and apologize for their really insane action and to reverse the decision to pull out."

"What we're being told here essentially is that it is too controversial to have a show with Muslim characters that are not portrayed as terrorists," remarked CAIR-Chicago Executive Director Ahmed Rehab.
