While a Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), was instrumental in getting National Public Radio (NPR) to fire Juan Williams, some Muslims are speaking out against succumbing to the censorship of political correctness.
Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, told The Daily Caller that though Williams could have been more tactful, his ouster is symptomatic of the problems Americans continue to face when discussing Islam.
"As much as the way he said it was poorly chosen, the era we find ourselves — of political correctness — we are not able to address what this fear is," Jasser said. "Anybody that starts talking about this fear gets shut down."
