Russell Simmons Offers To Buy Up All The Remaining Ad Time For TLC’s All-American Muslim

» 115 comments

Now that is putting your money where your mouth is. Yesterday, Russell Simmons had spoken out on the cowardly companies like Lowe’s who had buckled to extremist conservative pressure to stop advertising on TLC’s All-American Muslim, a show that dared (DARED!) to show Muslim Americans who weren’t crazed terrorists bathing in the blood of Christians or something. Furious at the seeming victory of bigotry, Simmons did what any person with integrity, passion, and an absolutely insane amount of money would do; he offered to buy up all the now-vacant ad space himself.

RELATED: Lowe’s Pulls Ads From Muslim Reality Show After Complaints From Conservative Groups

Simmons, despite being in Australia when the news of the advertiser pull-out hit, had made his feelings on the matter clear as soon as possible:

“This can’t happen in America; [Lowe's] needs to fix this immediately,” Simmons said, calling the move Islamophobic. “They can’t get away with that, it’s ridiculous. There are American principals at stake here. I can’t imagine the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP, the National Urban League, or any organization that fights for their own rights will allow this to happen to any other group because they know they’re next.”

It was perhaps at that point that Simmons remembered that he’s the head of a group like that. That’s right, Simmons is the chairman of the Simmons tweeted this:


Simmons would use the ad space to advertise his pre-paid Visa Rush Card.

It’s all pretty depressing, right? It’s a sad day when money, not common sense or ideals, is all that keeps our nation’s companies and corporations from falling to the support of bigotry. The anti-Muslim, anti-gay group Florida Family Association threatened Lowe’s with a boycott and they instantly crumbled requiring Simmons to spend his money to help keep the show alive. Wouldn’t it be nice if, no matter how much money was at stake, people just kind of knew that, in the year 2011, mass bigotry is wrong?

Well, there’s a bright spot. It turns out that, when Lowe’s dropped out, there were other companies willing to take its place. Despite Simmons’ bravado and certainty in that first tweet, it turns out that he and his Rush Card are now having to fight to purchase the spots.


All those corporations rushing in to do the right thing, It’s like the end of It’s a Wonderful Life when everyone helps pay back the lost money. Of course, the cynic in me thinks it’s probably more likely that those companies have thought of the only thing more powerful than special interest group pressure; a huge controversy giving a new show more exposure than it could possibly dream of. Still, it’s more fun to look on the bright side. It appears, this time at least, hate has failed.

    Simmons has built a fortune on the approved failed victim status of the Rainbow Coalition. Why wouldn’t he  protect his cash base? Consider it an investment. Do NOT consider it a concern for justice since his advocacy by skin color is as depraved as a Klansman’s.

    Agree or Die is what I oppose, and I cannot understand how any person concerned with the welfare for ALL humans can possibly excuse that belief…..absolutely nothing else about islam concerns me at all. If the Make a Wish Foundation were to adopt a … join us or die….  mandate, I would stop sending them money every year.

    The only people that think the Qu’ran does not explicitly state this, are those that have never read it.

    Religious Belief too often acts as an excuse and a shield to hide behind while committing evil.

    With or without religions, there will be good people that do good things
    With or without religions, there will be evil people that do evil things.
    But it takes a religion, for good people to do evil things.

    Russell Simmons should not be listened to any longer by the Black community, ESPECIALLY on the Muslim TV show issue. He is neither competent or sincere regarding the issue and should really limit his “hustling” to the record industry. He is an embarrassment to his people and to the country. I am a Detroiter, expert on terrorism, and former paratrooper/Desert War Vet, and run a rap label.  It is unfortunate, as the former head of the CIA’s Bin Laden desk put it-Americans have NO common sense when it comes to the Middle East/terrorism.  We continue to aid the enemy at the detriment of our own well being physically and economically.  This show just gives comfort to the enemy, and is assuring they will continue to beat us to the punch as they did on 9/11.  Trust me I grew up with the people that this show is covering and they are not loyal Americans and do believe they will defeat America due to its MENTAL weakness and lack of common sense.  This show proves they are winning this battle.  If the rest of America knew just how bad things were there, how the entire economy and physical safety of the US is in jeopardy because of the same people on that show, everyone would be behind Loewes.

Is he actually going to grab a rifle and join the infantry? Of course not.  We need more of this and less of the appeasement of people like him:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0lzZvCNkJwJerome Almon313 459 2801-I have appeared in the Middle East’s top newspaper and TV outlets (such as Al Jazeera) due to my correctly predicting terrorism trends-including home grown terrorism in 2001.  I also am a university lecturer and have had homeland security adopt my doctrine at the US/Canadian border (to stop terrorist infiltration of the US).

    You’re right.  What on earth would liberals know about a radical who promoted compassion for the less fortunate (Matthew 9:36), preached charity for the poor (James 2:14-17), believed in paying taxes (Mark 12:17), and eschewed the single-minded appropriation of wordly goods as morally deficient (Luke 18:25)?

    “even though many of the protesters the Tabaccos encountered during their first anti-protest told them they couldn’t find jobs, and that was why they were protesting.
    “We’re out there trying to do something positive, and not one occupier came over to us and handed in a resume,” John explained, “It kind of shows that their argument is disingenuous.”

    And Moore adamantly denied he was a 1%’er, before caving in to the truth.

    Damn there is nothing worse than someone placing sweeping stereotypes. There are too many clichés and too little substance about one’s viewpoint of the text in the Bible, the To’rah, and the Koran. The books hold all sorts of contradictions, and even worse, others claiming a superior knowledge of them. You are all going to die sometime. Clean your own soul before you place judgement against another.

    Placing a label on me doesn’t bother me, as I do not want to waste my time hating others. I think that Russell Simmons was a generous gift. Does it inspire me to join Islam? No. But the same can be said of the Christians and the Jewish faiths. If these faiths are so crucial to you practise them and leave others to bring their own decisions.

    Because there is not one sect commanded to be solely practised by the USA let your personal choices be personal.

Beck has the right to say what he wants, I don’t have to support it, Lowe’s has the right to advertise were they want, and I have the right to shop at Home Depot.

    Clearly, some don’t understand Islam. While not everyone who is Muslim is
    a radical, Islam IS a radical “religion”. First, understand Islam is
    not a religion. It is a political ideology wrapped in a religious
    shroud. Second, followers aspire to have EVERYONE convert to Islam. It
    is a mandate from Allah. Islamic leaders here and abroad have made it
    abundantly clear that they intend to dominate the world with their
    “religion”; “victorious over every other religion” (Koran 61:9).

    It is written in their holy books and broadcast daily throughout the world.
    “So, fight them till all opposition ends and the only religion is
    Islam.” Qur’an 8:39″And fight them until there is no more Fitnah
    (disbelief) and religion is only for Allah. But if they cease/desist,
    let there be no hostility except against infidel disbelievers. Qur’an
    2:193

    Why would you ignore or doubt their intentions?You mistakenly
    assume that Muslims, as human beings, are much like the rest of us. They
    are not. Their lives from cradle to grave are ordered by the laws of
    Allah which are stated in the Koran and other religious writings like
    the Haddith and Bukhari. Their sole allegiance is to the laws of these
    writings even though some practice their “religion” more dutifully than
    others. When push comes to shove, the slackers will fall in line or risk
    the consequences delineated in Sharia law for non-believers and
    apostates.  AGAIN, THEY ARE NOT LIKE US!!!

    Through the Koran-approved practice of Al-taqiyya, LYING is SYSTEMATIC. While they are not supposed to lie to each other, Muslims are permitted to lie to unbelievers
    whenever it is beneficial to the cause of Islam. What kind of a religion
    teaches such a practice? When they say they don’t lie or murder, they
    mean they don’t do that to each other. You, the infidel, are not equal
    to the believer and are governed by a different set of rules. Muhammad is
    God’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but
    merciful to one another. Quran 48:29, “Victory,” Dawood, p. 514. 

    While I am civil to the Muslims I’ve met, I feel that befriending Muslims is a
    wasted effort. They will seem very sincere and to some degree they are.
    They sincerely believe that everyone should be a Muslim, and they will
    sincerely tell you whatever it takes to make you think they are a
    peace-loving people. By Mohammed’s own words the parts of the Koran that
    preach “tolerance and kindness” were abrogated in later verses. (He
    tried being nice early on in the establishment of his religion. After
    ten years it was not as successful as he wanted in acquiring converts so
    he switched tactics to the sword. Convert or die.)

    There are those (many Liberals) who are advancing their cause and lulling Americans into a false sense of security. I implore those Liberals, do not be a useful idiot for
    Islam! Muslims will be Muslims. Even though most Muslims will not become
    terrorists and die for the cause, all Muslims are obligated to make the
    nation in which they live a Muslim nation. They do this by supporting
    terrorists with money and cover. They get jobs in sensitive areas: CIA,
    FBI, the Pentagon, as aides to high government staff, etc. They get
    themselves appointed to high positions in the judicial system. They get
    elected. They write books espousing how pacifistic and peaceful they
    are. They use uninformed non-Muslims to defend them and promote them as
    victims of some sort of new racism. AND THEY WILL NEVER STAND-UP TO DENOUNCE ANOTHER MUSLIMS ACTIONS INCLUDING MURDER! 

    The followers of Islam would have us believe that we can co-exist in this country. No matter what they say, Sharia laws and Islam are simply NOT compatible with the U.S. Constitution, and our Judeo-Christian values . Failure to discriminate will erode the freedoms and liberty of future generations in America just as surely as the Muslims will continue to push Sharia law at every
    turn.  And like it or not, THIS IS THE TRUTH!

    No prob with someone working hard and doing well.  My prob is with the terms of the Rush Card, they look even more expensive than Bank of America; in fact, they look even worse. So, we should be happy that he has bought advertising time to induce people who have little money to spend it on paying Rush Card fees?  Ten dollars a month to use a card with a pin? One dollar for each balance inquiry?

    I watch the show but I don’t understand how a company can be forced to advertise on a program. Fine, if you don’t like their discontinuing advertising, don’t go to the store but they have a right not to advertise just as you have a right to boycott. For those of you who own small businesses, do you want anyone telling you where you have to spend your advertising dollars?

    Susan, The RushCard fees are very reasonable when comparing to similar financial services.  Let’s take a closer look at  BofA: for the MyAccess Plan (most basic checking plan that BofA offers), the required average daily minimum balance is $1500. If that daily minimum is not met, customer is charged $12/month in maintenance fees. We then factor in the additional NSF fees. Please note: according to a Bretton Woods 2011 study, the average United States household with a banking account incurs 12.7NSF fees per year. This is just the average, and we know that our customer base falls out below that average. So our BofA estimate which assumes 12/NSF fees/year (as well as approximately 2 paid ATM withdrawal­s a month, at $2 per withdrawal­) results in a cost to use for customer per month of $51.14. Once you start going above 12 NSF fees a year, monthly cost to use becomes even more ridiculous­. (Transacti­on fees are capped at $10/month for Pay as You go RushCard plans and ATM withdrawal­s are $1.95 per withdrawal­).   To learn more about the RushCard fee structure, it’s available on RushCard’s website here- https://ww­w.rushcard­.com/howit­works/sche­duleoffees­.aspx.

    We actually know him. We actually read his words,and follow them. There is no place in the Bible that Jesus said to hate anyone. But the RW do actually somehow find verses and twisted almost any way they want them.

    Very informative, thank you. Unfortunately I’m sure you’ll be attacked for telling the truth.

    You are in fact a racist / bigot raging against right thinking conservatives on a regular basis, somehow I’m sure lowes like me is laughing at the loss of your business.

    I think that’s Great…keep shopping there.

    HOME DEPOT completely supports the ‘LGBT’ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender) Lobby and loans out their people, vehicles, tents and supplies to Gay Parades.  Funny, I have never once seen a Gay Home Depot commercial where 2 guys are painting a room together…I wonder WHY that is?

    LOWE’S sees a problem with buying ad time for a Muslim show that all know are completely opposed to a Judeo-Christian beliefs and very antagonistic towards Jews and Christians to the point of the radicals putting them to death AND we’re currently fighting a war against the facets of the so-called faith Islam…

    Hmmmmmmmmmm…let me see…what side should I follow, it’s a tough choice…seeing that I am a Christian Conservative, meaning that I go to Church (when I can) and my beliefs and morals are based in Conservative Christian ideals and have tried to bring my children up in that type of environment.  I’m sure I’ll be annihilated by the Liberal Lefts who see this post, but then…like many others I’m used to it, unfortunately.

    I think, after careful consideration and fact finding, I will choose LOWE’s…how about you?
