Prominent Muslims fear NPR analyst's firing may fan hostility (searching for elusive "backlash")
LA Times ^

NPR's decision to fire news analyst Juan Williams for remarks he made about Muslims on airliners was not only roundly criticized by conservatives Thursday, but also was viewed with alarm by some Muslim American activists and scholars.

Williams said Monday on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" that he worries when he sees Muslims in traditional garb on airplanes. NPR fired Williams on Wednesday, saying that his comment violated the news organization's ethics guidelines and undermined his credibility.

Some prominent Muslims expressed concern Thursday that his firing would widen a gulf between Muslims and non-Muslims in the United States.

They should be worried. This is not going at all well for them. And it may be the end of PC. That is bad for all that is liberal.

Why not deal with the real problem, which is aggressive acts taken by terrorists against helpless civilians?

Trust me, when the backlash finally comes they'll know it beyond any shadow of a doubt.

it’s all about them, isn’t it? Never mind that the guy lost a job he’d had for 10 years, never mind that the entire funding scheme of NPR is now in an uproar, and that NPR has been outed as a tool of George Soros. It’s all about them.

Are they saying anyone who isn’t a muslim is a non-muslim and not an infidel?

I resent being called a non-muslim if that’s what they’re saying.

Both practice “Taqqiya Talk”. Also used frequently in Congress by RINOS and RATS.

The cowards at NPR have taken down their “Contact Us” link. Here is what I tried to get through: “I firmly believe that the CEO should be fired, but more so, I believe that NPR’s government funding should end. She cleverly said that NPR does not receive government funding, but the truth is that all of their affiliate stations do. It is time to cut the fangs off the attack dog. I will make sure through my Congressman and Senators that they will attempt to do so.”

Naw, Muzzies need to know, Juan Williams got shot by liberasl. We on the Conservative side do not care about Juan. He’s been shooting at real Americans for over 15 years, Just like you crazy muzzies have been.

We play Cowboy and Muzzies, Liberals. What ever game your up to.

Ya think? CAIR stirred up a real hornet's nest by pursuing Williams, and it is backfiring in major-league fashion...

Well of course it will. The action reinforces the idea that muslims are trying to take over the US from the inside.

It just doesn't make sense to fire a journalist on an opinion/news program for giving his honest thoughts as part of a story.

Non-muslims recognize this. So, what's the real reason?

The backlash is against white urban liberals who are beholden/enslaved to Geo. Soros.

They also do not pay any taxes. That should also end.
