But again, in the context of the entire conversation, I think I see what he was saying. I'll admit, this is an unusual position for me because I'm on the frontlines of justice for the oppressed and I'm one of the few people who likes to hear Al Sharpton speak. But I don't see the real damage in Williams' statements.

I really don't think that NPR, or most companies for that matter, would not fire someone for saying that they were worried when they saw Muslims on an airplane with them.
Mr. Williams could have easily made his point without bringing his personal beliefs or concerns into the conversation.
