National Public Radio (NPR) news analyst Juan Williams, who is black, has been fired after saying that although he is not a bigot and has written books on civil rights movement, he "get worried" and "nervous" at seeing people on the same plane as him that "identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims" by wearing "Muslim garb". The comments were made on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" to host Bill O'Reilly. NPR's reason for firing Williams was that the comments were "inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR."
