The Savannah Morning News
To be a news analyst at National Public Radio seems to require one to be free of any human foible or fear, and without the temerity to speak of a common trepidation in this post 9/11 world.
And, apparently, devoid of the clear-eyed realization that a substantial number of Muslim zealots (who are visually indistinguishable from moderate Muslims) seek to murder as many innocent Americans as possible.

Following the firing of Juan Williams by NPR, I began to search for ways to go on record.
Thank you for providing this opportunity.
When I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.
When I am in a crowded place, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.
Anytime that I see people who are in Muslim garb, I think, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.
Muslim people believe that if you do not believe in their religion they are commanded to Convert you OR enslave you OR kill you !
On September 11, 2001, I learned all I will ever need to know about the Muslim Religion.
In addition, the commentor in #1.1 should look up the definition of BIGOT ... it will enlighten you.
Your local Infidel,

..The original poster you replied to never used the word 'Arabic' or 'Arab' in their post, so your reply is the one that 'puts everybody of a certain affiliation into one box'.....
....However, the original poster does make a point that the Koran requires that all non-believers be converted, enslaved or killed...Not all Muslims practice those edicts, just as not all Christians practice every scripture, but the radicals of ALL religious beliefs are dangerous.....
what did the christians do all over the world for 100's of years?.the same damn thing!
Intelligent people.
Here is my email to NPR and their response.

My email to NPR
The corwardice you have shown in the firing of Mr. Williams is reprehensible. You should be ashamed.
The only bright spot in this stupidity is that I found out about it before sending a donation to WABE, my local carrier of your "news"
NPR's response.
Over the past few days, we’ve been hearing from many listeners and others about our decision to end Juan Williams’ contract. Convictions about whether the decision was right or wrong are strongly held. We hear both views and respect your perspective.
Juan Williams’ comments on Fox News on October 18 were the latest in a series of deeply troubling incidents over several years. In each of those instances, he was contacted and the incident was discussed with him. He was explicitly and repeatedly asked to respect NPR's standards and to avoid expressing strong personal opinions on controversial subjects in public settings, as that is inconsistent with his role as an NPR news analyst. After this latest incident, we felt compelled to act. Reasonable people can and do disagree about the timing: whether NPR should have ended our relationship with Juan earlier, on the occasion of other incidents; or whether this final episode warranted immediate termination of his contract.
We stand by this decision. At the same time, we deeply regret the process that followed it – including not meeting with Juan Williams in person. NPR President and CEO Vivian Schiller has taken personal responsibility for the way the termination of his contract was handled.
Some listeners have also asked for more details about our funding. You can find a detailed overview of our funding on our website in our “About” section: http://www.npr.org/about/aboutnpr/ NPR, Inc. has received no direct operating support from the federal government since 1983, though about 2% of our annual budget typically comes from competitive grants that are federally funded.
I recognize that this decision has sparked a strong debate in the blogosphere and elsewhere, and that you have a firm position on the matter. While we stand by our decision, we also regret that we were compelled to take the actions that we did.
Sincerely,
Dana Davis Rehm

I have been listening to NPR's liberal biased news for many years just as I have been listening to conservative biased news sources. I think I'm smart enough to look through the bias to the real news.
I will continue to listen to NPR but have lost any respect I had for them and will certainly not be helping with funding.
