The Takeaway has been talking this week about the controversy that has erupted around the TLC reality show “All-American Muslim” after the home improvement store Lowe’s pulled its ads from the broadcast. The move came after a group called the Florida Family Association launched a campaign against the show, urging companies to pull their ads. Reaction to the Florida Family Association and Lowe’s has raised the profile of the cable show, as well as the community of Dearborn, Michigan where it is filmed. Jack O’Reilly is the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, and Dan Sordyl is a Takeaway listener who lives 20 minutes from Dearborn. They discuss what life among Dearborn’s large Muslim population is really like.
