NPR has terminated its contract with Juan Williams, one of its senior news analysts, after he made comments about Muslims on the Fox News Channel.

NPR is RACIST....
Sharia Law rules.
..and islamophobic
First order of business in January... defund NPR and PBS.
So just work for Fox News full time, Juan. NPR is like navel lint compared to Fox. Man, F NPR.
What did he say? Was it truthful?
Jeez, what did he say?
Understandable... Juan works for FOX so he is expendable even though he is a liberal. That is too bad because he was one that had a bit of common sense on MPR (not much mind you, but more than most).
This only reflects on NPR badly...
And yet out tax dollars go to NPR.
The new Congress must zero out all funding for NPR
“I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
Mr. Williams also made reference to the Pakistani immigrant who pleaded guilty this month to trying to plant a car bomb in Times Square. “He said the war with Muslims, America’s war is just beginning, first drop of blood. I don’t think there’s any way to get away from these facts,”
I think he said something like he “is fearful when he sees people in Muslim dress on airplanes”
He was all part of the fair and balanced thing though...by having someone on the air from NPR it showed that Fox was keeping its airwaves open to all points of view at all times by keeping Juan there.
I can’t wait to hear what he has to say about them and the hypocrisy of the left.
Poor Juan I wonder what he thinks about that maybe he should go on the view with Joyless and Whoopi Cushion
and discuss it
Did Juan never read the clause in his contract specifying that Christianity was the only religion he was allowed to disparage.?
Mr. Williams, who is also a Fox News political analyst, appeared on the “The O’Reilly Factor” on Monday. On the show, the host, Bill O’Reilly, asked him to respond to the notion that the United States was facing a “Muslim dilemma.” Mr. O’Reilly said, “The cold truth is that in the world today jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet.”
Mr. Williams said he concurred with Mr. O’Reilly.
He continued: “I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
