Saw on Twitter that someone called them the "Wahhabi Lobby". But actually, it seems ridiculous to me that this only warranted a $3m settlement. They've (almost certainly) been indirectly funding ISIS by robbing a country of its cultural artifacts. Not cool.
Giant crime by a party with a lot of money? DOJ will just slap you with a relatively small fine.
Bag of weed? You're going to jail, buddy!

> Is it just me, or does Hobby Lobby seem to go out of their way to remind their customers that their values aren't the same as the customers? Seriously, they should go out of business. It's probably just you (or more precisely, those like you). It's quite possible that your values are not typical of their customers, or their customers don't care about the values of the owners of the craft store they patronize.
True enough, but I always got the impression their customers would skew liberal. But that might be my liberal assumptions about who does craft projects showing through. :)
The terrorists are really only killing other Muslims in the Middle East, so that's perfectly OK with "committed evangelical Christians".

This is really a distorted generalization of "committed evangelical Christians."

Not in my experience. It's obviously not a distorted generalization of the Hobby Lobby owners themselves, and I think they're very representative of that sub-group of Christians. Not to say that all Christians are like this, not by a long shot; evangelicals are only a fraction, and the far-right-wing politically-active ones like the HL owners are a fraction of that, but they're a really awful fraction.

The evangelicals here in the US aren't educated enough to know there's any Christians over there. If they are, they probably consider a handful of them getting murdered to be an acceptable price.
I assure you even the poorest and least educated pay a lot of attention to the issue, maybe an inordinate amount.
