'Christian' leaders join Muslims in Lowe's protest ............................................................................................................. Ahlul Bayt News Agency ^ \| 17 DEC 2011 abna.ir The followers of Ahlulbayt (as) and their holy Imams alike have been oppressed throughout the history from the dark era of Umayyad caliphs up to the age of Abbasids, and from Abbasids to middle ages, and afterward up to the present time. The roots of this oppression and even its further intensification may be sought in the ignorance of Shiite Muslims about each other and unawareness of global communities of such oppressions against Shiites. A large portion of mass media and communication tools is in the hands of rulers and arrogant powers who are fighting in the opposing front against pure Mohammedan Islam. A coalition of Christian, Muslim and civil rights groups has called a demonstration outside a suburban Detroit Lowe's store to protest the home improvement chain's decision to pull ads from a reality TV show about U.S. Muslims. Executives of the Mooresville, N.C.-based company say TLC's "All-American Muslim" became a "lightning rod" for complaints. They acted after complaints from the conservative Christian group the Florida Family Association. A group of Detroit-area Christian, Muslim and civil rights groups says its members will demonstrate at 11 a.m. Saturday at Lowe's store in Allen Park against what the coalition says was the company's decision to "cave to anti-Muslim extremists." The travel planning site Kayak.com also has pulled its ads from the show, which features five families in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .................................................................................................................................................................................. Last time I heard - the US was still a free country where companies and individuals express professional decisions at will. The Muslims hate the fact that more and more US citizens are waking up to their "system" and don't want any part of it here in the US. The silent infiltration is no longer quiet - every time a Moslem steps - people are noticing!!! This is is good! 1 posted on Saturday, December 17, 2011 6:45:13 AM by BCW [ Post Reply \| Private Reply \| View Replies \| Report Abuse] To: BCW "...conservative Christian group" that supports Sharia and Islamic control?

Comcast Chief to Pay Penalty on Stock Purchase ........................................................................................... By REUTERS December 16, 2011 nytimes.com Comcast’s chief executive, Brian L. Roberts, will pay a $500,000 civil penalty for failing to notify antitrust authorities before acquiring voting securities as part of his compensation package, the Justice Department said. According to the complaint, Mr. Roberts failed to notify regulators before acquiring voting securities of Comcast as part of his compensation beginning in October 2007. This resulted in his holding about $120 million of Comcast stock. Mr. Roberts’s total compensation in 2010 was just over $31 million. He controls a third of Comcast’s voting stock and owns less than 2 percent of the company’s equity, according to a company filing. Comcast said the issue was a “technical and inadvertent violation that was self-reported, promptly corrected.”
