They have the right to fire him, but I assure you majority of America will find it absurd, and that can adversely affect the integrity of NPR, which is a broadcasting company I've held in high esteem previously.
Slight overreaction?

Of course the majority of Americans won't like it. Based on the response to the recent Cultural Center in NY, and to other Mosque renovations throughout the country, Americans are just as scared of Muslims as he apparently is.
Whether the majority of Americans agree with it or not, it doesn't change the fact that he defined a huge majority of Muslims with the terrible, extreme actions of a few. No matter what race or religion, that is simply not right.
It would be akin to someone saying that all Christians are the same as the Westboro Baptist Church, simply because they profess to be the same religion, or simply because they dress like Westboro does.
That would not be right either.
