I would cry freedom of speech, but I do think a company is entitled to manage their own brand. I am sorry they decided to comply with something so un-American.
The source article for this article does not contain to much information outside of conservative subjectivity. With that said I agree with those arguing against the hypocrisy where one religious group is give special treatment while another isn't. That itself is a violation of freedom of religion and there for un-Americana, but I disagree that a company is un-American just because they are being culturally sensitive to Muslim in a region with a large Muslim population.
Home Depot is free to practice business as they like, and I am free to shop at Lowe's even though I live in Atlanta, home to Home Depot's HQ. Home Depot, I hope you enjoy your new customer base....buying fertilizer, pipes and matches by the truckload.
