it's annoying that most of the debate seem to surround whether they should have fired him or free speech rather than the NPRs obvious liberal bias and how they fired someone for violating that.
The real debate is whether one can say 'muslim terrorist' or not.
The real debate whether one can speak plainly or one must speak in politically correct code talk.
The real debate is whether a black man can step off the dhimmicrat, NAACP, ACLU reservation and speak plainly without being ostracized and castigated.
Anyone who claims NPR doesn't have a militant liberal bias is brain dead, no debating that, it's too plain to ignore.

What Williams actually said, in his own words:
FoxNews.com - JUAN WILLIAMS: I Was Fired for Telling the Truth)
began by saying that political correctness can cause people to become so paralyzed that they dont deal with reality.
My point in recounting this debate is to show this was in the best American tradition of a fair, full-throated and honest discourse about the issues of the day.
Some points here about some of Juan's statements;
1. Timothy McVeigh was NOT a Christian even though he had been raised in a Christian home and didn't do what he did in the name of Christianity as daily attacks now done somewhere in the world are done in the name of islam.
2. Muslims of mideastern descent were involved in the OKC bombing from the very beginning right up until the moment the bomb was set off. Journalists and private investigators even turned up the name of one of those mideastern men who has never even been questioned by the FBI up until this day.
3. McVeigh's accomplice Terry Nichols learned his bomb making skills from islamic terrorists in the Philipines, made hundreds of calls there leading up to the bomb and received through a nearby neighbor hundreds of calls from a top ranking muslim terrorist. (Was that Ramsey Yousef?? Not hard to find)
4. A top ranking islamic terrorist in the Philipines claimed responsibility for the OKC bombing as did another convicted muslim terrorist who was being incarcerated in NY state.
5. CAIR, a Hamas front, called for the firing of Williams claiming his statement to be 'islamophobic." Saudi Arabia and Iran support CAIR monetarily and it tries to influence American policies. In that capacity CAIR is illegally acting at the behest of a foreign government (s), which isn't illegal unless they are doing it as an unregistered agent of a foreign government which IS the case here.
6. Saudi Arabia spends billions every year in a worldwide effort to have all governments make it illegal to make 'islamophobic' statements publicly and we see this happening, public figures being prosecuted, in at least four countries now, Austria, France, UK and the Netherlands.
Unfortunately we have already passed such 'hate crime' legislation here in America, buried in the defense appropriations bill was the 'pedophile protection act' which includes muslims as a victim group along with a heinz 57 variety of baby rapers and such.
