I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH JUAN WILLIAMS AND THE REST OF THE ISLAMAPHOBICS

Update 11/9/2010, 10:40 am:
After reading about President Obama's trip to Indonesia, I decided to assert "Most Muslims are Peace-Loving" upfront, in addition to my statement 6 paragraphs down.

Okay, Now, I'm ready to blast away at Juan Williams:

I'm sorry Juan, but your ass should have been fired for saying you felt nervous when a Muslim (in Muslim garb) boards the plane. Are you insane? You said it on national television dude. You had to know that you were stoking the flames of fear when you opened your stupid thoughtless mouth; and everyone would see your segment on the "The O'Reilly Factor" and would talk about it.

I later learned that you said something to the effect that you don't believe in racial or religious profiling. [Now people, I'm not buying it ... Juan, you had already opened up that can of fear worms, and a whoop ass by NPR was sure to follow.]

Maybe what you said wasn't a thoughtless remark. Maybe you had every intention to say it regardless of the consequences.*

What makes me suspicious (besides what I indicated in my first paragraph) ... How do you even know what is considered Muslim garb? [Seriously, even I can't tell the difference between Hindu garb or Muslim garb.] And ... If I recall, there have been no Muslims in "Muslim garb" that have attempted to do mass harm in America. Maybe I'm wrong ... somebody enlighten me. Even if it were true, do you know how many people you'd have to profile? Millions!!

Now you've got people saying they get nervous not only when a Muslim gets on an airplane, but when Muslims pray, or someone walks down the street in long robes, or a white tunic and pants, or a headscarf or turbin, or whatever. Aside from these fear mongers being irrational, I also say to them, ... how do you know when a Muslim boards the airplane? If you say they've got brown skin and a straight nose, I'll kick you in the butt. No one can definitively identify who is Muslim and who is not. Muslims come in all shapes, colors and sizes, and live in every country and on every continent and dress from traditional to modern. Hell Juan, you could be a Muslim. See Juan, this Muslim dress thing, ... that's why I'm suspicious about what you said and your actions/behavior before and after you got fired.

The vast majority of Muslims are peace loving. So when you say any person who dresses like a Muslim (for which I say "what the fu..k" are you talking about), and who gets on a plane, makes you nervous, you sound like a fool, an idiot, and entirely not credible.

Here's my problem Juan. Your words and the words (about Muslims or the Islamic religion) that flow from the Neo Nazis,** the warmongers, the FOX and FRIENDS bunch, the Bill O'Reilly followers, the Glenn Beck followers, the Rush Limbaugh followers, the Andrew Breitbart types, the Karl Rove followers, and the "Americans for Prosperity types", do a lot of harm. There's no point to fear mongering ... no point when you stoke the flames of fear about Muslims or illegal immigrants. You bring nothing to the table but fear. Get it?

And for those people who see no difference between someone (on NPR) saying "they wish Jesse Helms would get aids" and what Juan said, is being disingenuous. One only gets Jesse Helms, and Jesse Helms friends and family angry, the other gets innocent people killed.***

Here's another thing to consider Juan: Did you think about the harm you were doing (with your irrational utterance) to the airline industry and those who work there, and/or service that industry? [You've got over 50 airline companies.] No you didn't think Juan ... and that's the huge problem. Do you know how many businesses you may have affected? There are thousands of people who make a living servicing the airline industry. Each and every one of them should be writing NPR thanking them for firing you Juan, and then they should turn off FOX news.

Anyway Juan, I know you're enjoying your 2 million dollar salary being an Islamaphobic slave to FOX news.
