Libreals...they are really a big problem in this country..They try to make things better but all they do is make it worse.. All because they can not face certain facts...Juan should have never gotten fired for what he said here. But because of the naive liberal woman he was...thank you for making the relationship betwen Muslims and Americans worse Mrs Schiller..apparently we cant express certain feels, that could lead to the problem we currently have...
@Islam The LoveOfMyLife I wouldn't use the word verses, and i do not read the doctrine of satan. But it has been confirmed, and you should have known better since you seemed to be part of such cult.
who is blaming the entire islam nation? sure there are some ignorant ones that might actually think that but like youve said, these radical muslims do not represent the entire moderate muslims. just like those ignorant non muslims do not represent the rest of us. again, not sure where you are going with this when you say, islam as a whole should not be blamed. wake up and smell the coffee man. stop acting like you are out of your mind. makes you look bad.
I find myself in a semantic conundrum. When was it when the identification of persons from Islam was changed from Moslim, to Muslim. When I was young (I'm 64), I believe the reference was changed during the '60's with the Black Muslim movement.
What if I said, "When I see a black man walk into a store, and If he is identifying himself first and foremost as a Black Man, I get worried, I get nervous."
Plus he get the Times Square bomber "factual quotes" completely wrong.
People need to look at this situation carefully.Juan Williams was on NPR as an "analyst", where his comments were based on facts. But when he appears on FOX the culture over there is to be OPINIONATED, which is everything NPR did not hire him for. Juan you can't have best of both worlds. It wasn't going to be long before FOX or in this case NPR fire him for not following company rules
O'Reilly thinks there WASN'T a backlash against Muslims after 9-11?! Is he serious? Does he live in post-9-11 America? If there isn't a backlash, why are people wanting to burn Korans? Why are 70% of people against a peaceful Islamic community center in old Burlington Coat Factory? Why are people in Tennessee and Wisconsin protesting the building of a mosque to serve members of their communities?
I am even more disappointed that he agreed with O'Reilly that Muslims did not face a backlash in the US after 9/11. Mosque burnings? Attacks against individual Muslims? Widespread discrimination / racial profiling? Widespread media attacks (Mr. O'Reilly included) that demonized Islam? Hundreds of detentions without cause? . . . Sure, the US may do better than most countries, but that does not mean you can/should deny some very real problems.
@wpopp12 whether muslims did face backlash in the U.S after 9/11 or not, if 9/11 never happened, there wouldnt be racial profiling, mosque burning....etc as you put it. that is what you have failed to realize.
Did racial profiling, burning mosque...etc exist in the States after 9/11.
again, this is what you and others that share your sentiments fail to realize.
@kimaste If 9/11 never happened then perhaps those things would not have occurred. But the questions then becomes whether millions of moderate, peaceful Muslims in the US, and hundreds of millions of others worldwide to blame for 9/11. Those who did not commit nor support the atrocities of 9/11 should not be blamed for it, nor face negative repercussions for it just because they shared the same religion as the attackers.
@wpopp12 im not following you there pal and maybe cause you are not following me. ill say it again. if 9/11 never happened, there wouldnt be any blame on anyone. hard to understand?
@kimaste I do not dispute your claim that if 9/11 hadn't happened, then Islam would not have been blamed for it. Basic deductive reasoning means that it must be true that no one would be blamed for an event that never happened. However, I am saying is that just because 9/11 occurred, and the actions were perpetrated by Muslims, does not mean that Islam as a whole is to blame, and that innocent Muslims are to be blamed for it. Some very radical Muslim extremists, not Islam as a whole, is to blame
lmao, I've never seen a dumb brunette before, but, i guess that there's a first time for everything. She's like an echo to O'Reilly, she's been too influenced by him, as all she says falls on the same point as him. And have you noticed, how Fox News anchors cut off a person, whenever they're saying something that goes against their views about Islam?? What is Fox News? The new type of Yellow Journalism?
I'm muslim and black and guess what. the way he worded that could have been different number one. Number two I as a black person get nervous when I see black men like him. So how does one defuse these thoughts. First of all I'm in an environment where blacks do crime against each other. So this is in my mind as 'caution!!' if he's on the plane he may have the same feelings. But can he live with it if the shoes on the other foot?
none so blind as those who will not see!. "where am i going wrong here?"....well, bill you are bigoted. so is jaun. so is fox network..... they are so far gone they cannot even see that they are being bigoted.....or worse.....they think it is ok and will defend it....... fox news, the home of bigotry.........and proud of it!
If O'Reilly would stop interrupting his guests and act like he cares about what they think, Williams would have been able to more clearly explain himself. That said, NPR fired him wrongly.
What? He got fired over that? The whole conversation he was making the point that we SHOULDN'T group all Muslims together through bias based upon what the bad ones do. They fired him on the grounds of the same position he was trying to make...
welcom to dar al islam!!! if u continue being liberal, soon everybody will become dhimmis. islam i a social-political ideology with 1% religious twist. islam shouldn't enjoy the freedoms that other religions enjoy because islam isn't a religion. jesus, is this so hard to grasp. start educating yourselves-read not only the quran but the hadiths and the sirat and the important islamic scolars like ibn kathir.
Telling patriotic Americans to leave? Such as who ones that abolish the constitution? Whos the less of an American huh? The one who tries to change everything in the Constitution so it better suits them or the one who keeps the constitution and upholds patriotic duty and civil laws? Thats true patriotism.. not someone who just abolishes it to further their own agenda
NPR is entitled to its own decisions as to whom it employs.
Juan said some pretty dumb things. "Muslims in Muslim garb" don't hijack planes. EVERY terrorist wore western attire.
Juan also recently said blacks aren't the ones hijacking planes, suggesting that only Arabs do it. Wrong. Richard Reid was half black, as is Zacharias Moussaoui.
Richard Reid was born in England. Obviously, Mr. Williams is talking about African-AMERICANS when he refers to "black". If you think African-Americans and Islamic Africans from countries like Somalia are the same then you are wrong. The skin is the same, but I can guarantee to you that there has been and never will be an African-American that is devoted enough to a religion to hijack a plane and ram it into a building. Come on, that isn't even debatable with intellectual ppl.
Bill said it!! it's Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan! are these really the islamic countries. They don't even speak arabic to understand the language of the quran.
And again, we never heard of muslims before 9/11 so please let's concentrate on our real problems, on the people who are manipulating us to fight their battles for them.
It's Shirley Sherrod all over again. If you actually listen over O'Reilly's ranting, William's controversial remark comes into context with the rest of his position. He's saying that despite his irrational fears American society can't act on such stereotypes and be true to its ideals.
Firing him has done more to empower conservative demagogues than anything else. NPR should have brought him into a calmer forum to discuss his views with better clarity instead of fire him without discussion.
@psbjr That's why the terrorist attack even the innocent because they believe it's the whole nation against Islam. I see no difference between O'Reily and the terrorist school of thought. An idiot he is alright.
@TheAlibaba2010 He's a sell out for his race? So he should turn into a Jesse Jackson, an Al Sharpton, or lead the New Black Panthers Party? This kind of stuff prolongs racism because those guys and groups only show up for black issues. I'm tired of black people chastising other blacks for being normal, and then calling normal blacks Uncle Toms and "Sell-outs". Why can't blacks be normal citizens and become journalists, M.D, lawyers, and etc? We have less professionals because of people like you
i don't think he is a bigot, but i do think NPR made the right decision in firing him. i am Muslim and I am not a terrorist, and i would like to think someone as intelligent as Juan Williams would not be irresponsible enough to promote dangerous smears that could lead to violence against Americans.
Obama is the worst thing that ever happened to this country. Race relations have gotten worse, MUCH worse, since he got into office. I don't remember anything like this happening BO (before Obama). Juan Williams is an patriotic American. Saying someone dressed in Muslim garb makes you nervous isn't bigoted. Come ON. Muslims killed Americans on 9/11. Are all Muslims bad? Of course not. But if the good Muslims would take a stand against the extremists, this wouldn't be happening.
It's about time NPR kicked his butt out of there. The man was embarrassing them by how much he shills for Fox and their bigoted propaganda platform. How can any man from such an intelligent enterprise like NPR be so dumb to stoop to stereotyping Muslims to help Bill O'Reilly's racist agenda. He's shamed his career by working for pro-bigotry forces like Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes.
@RocStarr913 You call NPR an intelligent enterprise? It's a taxpayer funded radio station. If Juan Williams isn't liberal enough for them, then they don't deserve to be funded anymore.
By the way, the race card has been played so often that it has lost all meaning. Calling someone racist is almost an admission of defeat. It's too bad you guys used it too often. Now you look like idiots.
@wiz9496 It's not called playing the race card, wingnut, it's called calling people out on what is wrong. By the way, Juan Williams is not a real liberal, he's a Republican poorly disguised as a token liberal. He admitted in an interview that he's a registered Republican.
@RocStarr913 You are so full of crap. I've listened to him on NPR and watched him on Foxnews for years. He's a genuine liberal, and has a long track record to prove it. He's guilty of not choosing sides, the very attribute we should look for in a newsman. He'll still be a liberal, but he will be jaded by the attacks he's enduring. That's bad news for you.
@wiz9496 Williams said he had voted for Republicans, including George W. Bush the first time, all his life during the John Kerry election. So who's kidding who here, wingnut? Juan Williams is a "token liberal", meaning he's a phony right-wing stooge just like the other so-called "Democrats" at Fox "News".
@RocStarr913 I voted Democrat for many years, so I can relate with him. If you're claiming that he's not a liberal, you are wrong. The problem is that he's a reasoned liberal. That's what you dicks don't like. We all know what happens when you dicks don't like someone- The media destroys them. Try it with this guy and you'll only make him bigger.
@wiz9496 Well said! I have met quite a few liberals I could actually sit down and have an intellectual discussion with over a beer or coffee. Unfortunately they are becoming fewer in number. In their place we have a bunch of mud slinging, name calling, immature pinheads!
In Islam, God was murdered by Mohammed. why? Mohammed said that God had no holy spirit. Mohammed said that God does not speak. then. An entity that has no spirit. An entity that does not speak. It is an entity that is dead. By whom? by Muhhamad. Just outside of islam, God can exists.
Yeah I agree with those on Juan's side. Other than that one comment, he had a very solid argument and was very good at taking O'Reilly's typical "I talk when I wanna and I'll tell you when to stop talkin no spin zone" crap.
I think if he had a chance to explain himself he would say something about how that comment is just a sad reality of life becuase of how American society (espec. the news) have created assosiations between Muslims & Terrorists. Pretty weak reason to be fired I believe...
@DarwinsFriend Are you being sarcastic, or do you really think that telling the truth of feelings about religious/ethnic/cultural discomfort should be silenced? Will that make the feelings go away? Or just be hidden in dark corners where people can't talk it through and try to come to meeting of minds and hearts? It will fester, I think, if hidden; but if we speak openly and examine concerns -- even on radio/tv shows, in a civil manner seeking truths, how can that be so dangerous? Why?
@leafwatch Not sarcastic what-so-ever. Williams contract with NPR specified "news analyst ", not commentator. He stuck his pud in the mouse trap and it closed on him. Not anymore complicated than that.
Juan Williams was the only thing making me apprehensive about defunding NPR. I like the guy. And now that he is gone, I say snatch away all of NPR's federal funding..
The little group of lefty elitests that run NPR...........had sex with themselves yesterday.........and will lose their jobs tomorrow. Just ridiculous. The 75% of Americans that aren't lefty morons need to stand up and push back.......its time to demote the lefties to their natural inferior position in this country.
Haha, that is what this country has come to. Guys tries to express his own fears in a mild way, in an attempt to defend MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-SLUMS.....and he gets canned. Wow, the United States Of Ameritard has fallen harder and faster than even I expected. Time to stock up on guns, ammo and a huge blockhead type dog.
Most air travlers get a little nervous when they see a person dressed in Muslum 'garb', no where to run at when your 20,000 ft plus in the air. That doesn't make you a bigot. I guess he should'nt have said anything what most of us are thinking. SAD!!!
@bobfrombarstow No, Bob. Seeing someone who appears Muslim and getting scared about it is EXACTLY what bigotry is. The only thing I get nervous about when I see folks who look like they might be Muslim is my flight being delayed become some ignorant ass-clown is going to complain to the airlines that they are scared and can they please boot bad Muslims. Shameful.
@dave00100 I am not for the fear of dying would be a bigotry thing or not. But one should remember that the hijacker's on 9/11 we're not wearing Muslim garb.
@ToddonCapeCod I love how the right wingers are always telling true patriotic Americans to leave. Sorry, Todd....You're the one who hates the nation and the constitution - you should carry your dumb ass on out! And take your retarded tea bagger buddies with you.
@dave00100 i have never read anything more illogical in my life. Very mature comment about the teabaggers though. The only reason I understand your hostility is because once again the left side is losing their grip on our government and soon we will be back on track
@oijiojoij0jj0j0j90j0 HaHaHa Every time thr right wing rejects start polling well they act like the rest of America is as stupid as they are. ROFL "Losing our grip on the government"? You have no clue what kind of deluded, ignorant, ass-clown you sound like with your tired talking points. You people are an embarrassment to my great country. Enjoy your 15 Minutes - you'll be thrown back under the rocks you crawl out from soon enough.
@ToddonCapeCod Funny...when I look around the only people I see trying to destroy this great country is bigoted, hateful, moronic, right-wing douche-bags! Keep 'em scared, Toad - that's what you people do best!
@ToddonCapeCod ROFL - You wouldn't know "real" if it got a tax break for outsourcing your job to China.
Besides that, who is available to give me help? You and yours are all tooo frightened about the scawy Muslims, Mexicans, Africans, libruls, guvment, homosexuals, atheists, and anyone else who doesn't hold your self-serving, minority view. I can't crawl under ever bed trying to find a right wing tutor.
Don't forget Toddy, Henny Penny dies at the end of Chicken Little because she is stupid.
And you folks on the Left are Oh-so-tolerant, aren't you??! That's why Juan Williams is out a job, because he won't tow the PC line!
So much for Left-wing tolerance! Its about as much of a crock as global warming.
Thank God you and your ilk are in the minority, and are about to lose power in this country, BIG TIME! Then people who actually give a damn about this country and its future, will actually protect us and make this the nation it is intended to be!
@ToddonCapeCod You baggers never disappoint in the ignorance department! Your bigot boy Juan got canned because he violated the conditions of his employment. See, real journalism enterprises have standards - something a clueless Fox News[sic] viewer would never understand.
Thanks for the Global Warming reference. It's a helpful reminder of how absolutely brain-dead stupid the conservative movement has become.
You don't give a damn about this country - bearing false witness...tsk, tsk.
@dave00100 You pedophilic moonbats never disappoint either with your kowtowing to people who even want to kill YOU! Ever think about that?
No, journalism enterprises do not have standards; any trip through the Media Research Center or Newsbusters will tell you that in less than 5 minutes!!
Oh, so you mean to tell me you're even stupid enough to believe in global warming?!?!?!? Why do I even bother talking to you?!
Bill WAS being careful when he said that the religion of Islam has nothing to do with it. It DOES. And the reason why only "extreme" (I like to say "devout" or "those who know the Koran well") Muslims become terrorists is because of the teachings of the Koran; the teachings of Muhammad. He says that all "infidels" deserve to die. Period. That is the source of the murderous acts of terror done in the name of "Allah."
Libreals...they are really a big problem in this country..They try to make things better but all they do is make it worse.. All because they can not face certain facts...Juan should have never gotten fired for what he said here. But because of the naive liberal woman he was...thank you for making the relationship betwen Muslims and Americans worse Mrs Schiller..apparently we cant express certain feels, that could lead to the problem we currently have...

Juan Williams was fired for free speech but his position as an employee of NPR was obviously over when he made the questionable remarks.

i don't think he is a bigot, but i do think NPR made the right decision in firing him. i am Muslim and I am not a terrorist, and i would like to think someone as intelligent as Juan Williams would not be irresponsible enough to promote dangerous smears that could lead to violence against Americans.
just saying.

Obama is the worst thing that ever happened to this country. Race relations have gotten worse, MUCH worse, since he got into office. I don't remember anything like this happening BO (before Obama). Juan Williams is an patriotic American. Saying someone dressed in Muslim garb makes you nervous isn't bigoted. Come ON. Muslims killed Americans on 9/11. Are all Muslims bad? Of course not. But if the good Muslims would take a stand against the extremists, this wouldn't be happening.

Maybe if the good Americans stopped allowing the government to interfere so much in the affairs of foreign countries, there would be less blowback.

It's about time NPR kicked his butt out of there. The man was embarrassing them by how much he shills for Fox and their bigoted propaganda platform. How can any man from such an intelligent enterprise like NPR be so dumb to stoop to stereotyping Muslims to help Bill O'Reilly's racist agenda. He's shamed his career by working for pro-bigotry forces like Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes.

@RocStarr913 You call NPR an intelligent enterprise? It's a taxpayer funded radio station. If Juan Williams isn't liberal enough for them, then they don't deserve to be funded anymore.
By the way, the race card has been played so often that it has lost all meaning. Calling someone racist is almost an admission of defeat. It's too bad you guys used it too often. Now you look like idiots.
wiz9496 1 year ago
@wiz9496 It's not called playing the race card, wingnut, it's called calling people out on what is wrong. By the way, Juan Williams is not a real liberal, he's a Republican poorly disguised as a token liberal. He admitted in an interview that he's a registered Republican.
RocStarr913 1 year ago
@RocStarr913 You are so full of crap. I've listened to him on NPR and watched him on Foxnews for years. He's a genuine liberal, and has a long track record to prove it. He's guilty of not choosing sides, the very attribute we should look for in a newsman. He'll still be a liberal, but he will be jaded by the attacks he's enduring. That's bad news for you.
wiz9496 1 year ago
@wiz9496 Williams said he had voted for Republicans, including George W. Bush the first time, all his life during the John Kerry election. So who's kidding who here, wingnut? Juan Williams is a "token liberal", meaning he's a phony right-wing stooge just like the other so-called "Democrats" at Fox "News".
RocStarr913 1 year ago
@RocStarr913 I voted Democrat for many years, so I can relate with him. If you're claiming that he's not a liberal, you are wrong. The problem is that he's a reasoned liberal. That's what you dicks don't like. We all know what happens when you dicks don't like someone- The media destroys them. Try it with this guy and you'll only make him bigger.
wiz9496 1 year ago
@wiz9496 Well said! I have met quite a few liberals I could actually sit down and have an intellectual discussion with over a beer or coffee. Unfortunately they are becoming fewer in number. In their place we have a bunch of mud slinging, name calling, immature pinheads!

Yeah I agree with those on Juan's side. Other than that one comment, he had a very solid argument and was very good at taking O'Reilly's typical "I talk when I wanna and I'll tell you when to stop talkin no spin zone" crap.
I think if he had a chance to explain himself he would say something about how that comment is just a sad reality of life becuase of how American society (espec. the news) have created assosiations between Muslims & Terrorists. Pretty weak reason to be fired I believe...

@DarwinsFriend Are you being sarcastic, or do you really think that telling the truth of feelings about religious/ethnic/cultural discomfort should be silenced? Will that make the feelings go away? Or just be hidden in dark corners where people can't talk it through and try to come to meeting of minds and hearts? It will fester, I think, if hidden; but if we speak openly and examine concerns -- even on radio/tv shows, in a civil manner seeking truths, how can that be so dangerous? Why?

@leafwatch Not sarcastic what-so-ever. Williams contract with NPR specified "news analyst ", not commentator. He stuck his pud in the mouse trap and it closed on him. Not anymore complicated than that.

Most air travlers get a little nervous when they see a person dressed in Muslum 'garb', no where to run at when your 20,000 ft plus in the air. That doesn't make you a bigot. I guess he should'nt have said anything what most of us are thinking. SAD!!!

@bobfrombarstow No, Bob. Seeing someone who appears Muslim and getting scared about it is EXACTLY what bigotry is. The only thing I get nervous about when I see folks who look like they might be Muslim is my flight being delayed become some ignorant ass-clown is going to complain to the airlines that they are scared and can they please boot bad Muslims. Shameful.

Bill WAS being careful when he said that the religion of Islam has nothing to do with it. It DOES. And the reason why only "extreme" (I like to say "devout" or "those who know the Koran well") Muslims become terrorists is because of the teachings of the Koran; the teachings of Muhammad. He says that all "infidels" deserve to die. Period. That is the source of the murderous acts of terror done in the name of "Allah."
