(( An interview with a member of a Muslim community in Charlotte County prompted a viewer from Lynchburg (Lori Harris) to write: "Come on, this guy by no means appeared to be born and raised in the Muslim nations, what a slap in the face of those born and raised here in the USA. This guy only appeared as an American who has taken the Islamic religion, and more power to him if that is what he wishes, however, he lived on the same lot of land with someone...who has been arrested for gun charges..."
The problems the owner of Ciro's Pizza is facing brought little sympathy from a viewer (Lawrence T. Baker, Jr.) in Rocky Mount: "I'm sick of hearing all these stories about how bad all your listeners are for not going to stores or restaurants owned by people from the middle east. We are not all that bad and if not going to their place of business means we are bad you are picking on the wrong crowd."
