NPR, Juan Williams and Another Take

NPR dumped Juan Williams. Here’s the report, and then I have another take.

To recap, Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly faced heat last week after remarks he made about Muslims on “The View.” He was discussing those comments with Williams on “The O’Reilly Factor” when Williams made the remarks NPR found objectionable.

“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,” Williams said. “But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they’re identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.“

Here’s what I’d like to know: What do Muslims think of non-Muslim, Westerns (mostly Christian) staring at them? What runs through their head when they see non-Muslims looking at them?
