When I first saw he was fired for comments he made I thought "hmm that doesn't seem right" then I realized I can't just go around and say whatever I want to say with respect to my job and expect to remain employed.
Then I saw what he actually said...and I thought "wow how stupid, he is afraid of people dressing a certain way." I think it was stated above but I had the same thought, a radical Islamic terrorist intent on committing a terrorist act in the US is most likely going to dress like American's in order to blend in and not be hassled.
Honestly, I have no problem with what NPR did, Juan Williams should realize that as a "journalist" he can't just say whatever he feels like and expect his agency to keep him employed. Unless of course you work for Fox News then you can say as much stupid stuff as you want and they will probably give you your own show.
