    Basically, he said when he sees people on flights in full Muslim garb, it makes him nervous.

    They're eating their own. Juan is on these so called republican shows representing the democratic view holding his own in the process and how does NPR reward him, they can the guy becuase he says he does a double take when on an airplane when he sees a muslim in full gear.

    I would get nervous too. With our new found sensitivity for Muslims feelings it's probably considered impolite and politically incorrect for airport security to search them.

    Completely appropriate.

    “In appearing on TV or other media . . . NPR journalists should not express views they would not air in their role as an NPR journalist. They should not participate in shows . . . that encourage punditry and speculation rather than fact-based analysis.”

    Yeah, pretty ironic because the Muslims I know get searched pretty much everytime they get on a plane. Does that happen to you?

    I'm disappointed that Juan is not above such superficiality. I like him.

    Every time he flies? I've been searched plenty of times too. A few times I felt the guy owed me dinner he got so god damn invasive. But I've only been searched about a 3rd of the time.

    No way. People that say things like this should not only be fired, but should also attend two months of sensitivity training.

    people who say things that contradict what their contracts stipulate deserve to be fired... are you against honoring contracts?

    I'm guessing none of you have read the entire transcript.

    It's Sherrod Part II. NPR knee jerked and completely boned this.

    What is full Muslim attire?

    are we talking full on from the desert muslim


    are we talking full on muslim beauty queen


    or we talking about average muslim carpet salesman


    Either way I would be nervous from all of them, one might kill me, one is just another hot girl I would never be able to talk to, and the other one might fulfill my lifelong dream of a flying carpet.

    You and Manny are so full of . Do you two really believe this is the first time Juan Williams has given an opinion? What has he been doing for YEARS on Fox and the Sunday political shows?
