Re: NPR fires Williams over Muslim fears » GetReligion

No we shouldn't, and Williams never said we should.  But sometimes, because of 
the actions of one/few we are nervous about the many.  That is a reality of life 
and though we should recognize it and try to overcome it, denying the reality of 
it is ignorant.

And just like if you call people terrorsits they may become them, calling people 
prejudice may make them prejudice, although I'd say the former is a much more 
extreme and dangerous reaction.

ergo, we shouldn't be afraid of people in certain clothing.
