Isn't this just made up? Do you have any evidence at all that Target was pressured into dropping the Salvation Army?

If Target wants to only serve the SA, or only serve Muslim Mothers, or Toys
for Tots, or Lesbians of Lebanon, I don't give a darn, but it seems many who
preach tolerance have a visceral intolerance for the choices of others.

That's an interesting take on things. Mine is that the religious right uses the same tactics as the Taliban to force their extreme views on religion onto everyone else at a figurative gunpoint. Do you really think that if Target supported a muslim charity there would be thousands of protesters outside of their stores right now?
