| − | |This reality program essentially censors and whitewashes the true face of Islam, a terroristic and supremacist political ideology masquerading as a "religion", depicting the lives of five Islamic families in the [[Detroit]] suburb of [[Dearborn]], Michigan. The show drew criticism for depicting Islam in a favorable light, despite its reality being far different, and it was cancelled after one season due to low ratings. Controversy also erupted when home improvement retail chain Lowe's withdrew its sponsorship of the show, leading liberal celebrities Russell Simmons, Mia Farrow and Kal Penn, Internet activist group [[Anonymous]] and Islamic congressman [[Keith Ellison]] and other liberal politicians to call for a boycott of Lowe's and demanded apologies from the chain in response, which led in turn to Lowe's ignoring their demands and other companies joining Lowe's in withdrawing sponsorship of the program, while the threatened boycott itself largely fizzled. | + | |This reality program essentially censors and whitewashes the true face of Islam, a terroristic and supremacist religio-political ideology masquerading as a non-political religion, following the lives of five Islamic families in the [[Detroit]] suburb of [[Dearborn]], Michigan.
