Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens likes to wear plaid, scarves, and a guitar. He is a Muslim hipster.
YEAH MUSLIM HIPSTERS.
I really approve of this blog. (:
Of course, Fox News has run with the firing of NPR correspondent Juan Williams, who said that he gets nervous when he sees Muslim garb on airplanes. They find any opportunity to bash “elitist liberals” as often as they can. However, the way I see it is that Williams broke NPR’s code of ethics by sharing his opinion about Muslims on Fox News. Do I agree with his comments? No, but that’s not why he was fired. News presenters and commentators need to remain neutral to maintain journalistic integrity, and sharing their personal opinions in a very public arena goes against all of this. Meanwhile, the media has somehow managed to turn this into a Christian vs. Muslim debate while branding NPR as “hypocritical and anti-conservative”. Bottom line, Williams broke the rules and deserved to be terminated. End of story. I can’t wait to see what Jon Stewart has to say about all of this!
