They call themselves Christians, but the evangelical group that demanded Lowe's home improvement chain yank its television ads from a reality show about Muslim families sounds more like a club for bigots.

The Florida Family Association describes itself as a coalition of God-fearing Americans. Yet instead of preaching values such as tolerance or humility, or performing community services such as feeding the hungry, it devotes most of its energies to attacking Muslims and gays.

As in its latest denunciation — of TLC’s “All-American Muslim.” The reality show chronicles the lives of five unremarkable families from Dearborn, Mich., a Detroit suburb with a large Muslim and Arab-American population. It’s essentially a cast of squares: high school sweethearts, power couples with busy careers, a father who coaches the local football team. Except they aren’t Christian.

Which this group finds unbearably offensive. It called the show “propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agenda’s clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values.” Meaning that because one of these families isn’t harboring a terrorist or plotting to impose Sharia law, they couldn’t possibly be Muslims in America.

Incredibly, Lowe’s said it was “best to respectfully defer” to that complaint and pulled its ads. The Florida group says it also demanded that Toys “R” Us, based in Wayne, pull advertising from the sitcom “Modern Family,” which features a same-sex couple. We hope they thought better of it.

For as long as Lowe’s continues to “defer” to discrimination, let’s boycott this chain.
