I'm going to keep a tally of how many liberal homosexual children come trick-or-treating to my door dressed as Muslims and report back.

I like the taste of bananas, but I don't like things that are made to taste like bananas.

How weird is that?

Ah, right, catalytic converter. That's what I was thinking.

Excuse me, I'll be right back. I just dropped all my fingers.
 
It is perfectly natural to group people by appearance, and we all do it so readily. I believe this comes from several factors wherein it contributed to our ancestor's survival on the Savannah.

So many things in our civilized society cause us to have to work at purging our instincts. Juan was honestly expressing one such tendency which I think he was pointing out needs to be restrained by our rational mind. NPR wrongly fired him for it.
 
I just wish they would be more fastidious with the deodorant!
 
Juan Williams was released from NPR for his partisan role at Fox News, which precludes any attempt at being an objective reporter for NPR. Anyways, I'm fine with it, because what he said was stupid.

Anyways, tldr the thread but how many conservatives were up in arms over this? How many of those cheered the sacking of Helen Thomas?
 
After seeing videos of what he said on tv, yeah a little harsh. But I can see why they fired him. Im scared when I see muslims practicing their freedom to dress and worship as musims because it its like them saying they're muslim before they're american.

Helen Thomas was old & Senile. On top of that it made zero sense. What Williams said IS Common Sense.

It's not common sense to have an emotional reaction to a muslim on a flight, with no evidence of a threat of harm. It's a purely trauma-related response to a major event that had a huge emotional impact on all of us who were adults at that point in time.

It's not rational, it just is. What Williams did wrong was to make that comment, and then not clarify that he regrets that emotional response. Any of us can have a fear response. However, holding on to racial/ethnic/religious bias is wrong.
 
Let me clarify an Emotional Response. I'm more concerned EX POST FACTO about the Final Minutes of Several Hundred innocent people trapped 90 stories above Church & Vesey Streets that Morning as they decided to either Jump into Eternity, Burn up, died of Smoke Inhalation (probable majority) or get crushed in the collapse - than I am about a bunch of Bozo's who are in this Country out of choice yet want to remain visably Islamic First probably as an arrogant gesture towards those they despise.

Okay .

Or maybe they dress that way because they want to and like it?

It is a free country after all right?

Why do you assume that Muslims hate America simply because they want to practice their beliefs openly? Do Mormons hate America because they wear their temple garments under their clothes (but plainly visible much of the time, in the form of the eternal smile)?

None of the 9/11 hijackers were wearing "Muslim garb" when they boarded the planes. Thus, your emotional response is completely ridiculous.

Here are some Muslims that would make me nervous if I see them in their Muslim Garb even if they were on a city street.

There is to my knowledge not a single case of a radical Muslim dressing in anything but western clothing before terror attacks, in recent years, at least.

I have never seen a Muslim who scares me with or without a box cutter. AK-47, now that's a whole other story.
 
What difference would an AK47 make? Haven't you heard? People kill people, not guns!

Thanks for letting me know you're crazy. Now I know not to take you seriously.

But honestly, where in the hell do you people come up with this stuff? :confused:

Why do those Muslims scare you? Have they blown up buildings with airplanes?

Actually they are not visible - YOU know that - and most others have no knowledge they are being worn. In short the Loyalty of Mormons is not the issue here.

Within 5 Miles from where I sit there are about 1,000 + Pakistani's in a few Apartment complex's near the Islaic Center of San Diego. By I-805 & Balboa Ave. to be precise. Many are attired in their White flowing outfits all day and on Friday's the area is packed with the Faithful.

Less than 1/2 Mile from me right now is a Small Community of Somali's - Head Scarves constantly for the Females - in some cases only Eyes visible. The evidence is all around but the Comfortably resentful against America's establishment and past refuse to see it as a problem.
