Considering the heightened level of irrational anxiety in our society regarding Muslims, his statement regarding his own irrational anxiety is beyond just irresponsible. It is what's helping to feed the problem - exactly what Fox is good at and why it even exists. I applaud NPR for taking a stand against that king of noise.

You're arguing for dishonesty.

Do you see the problem there? I ask this in all seriousness. If we feel a certain way about something, is it always better to keep quiet--stuff that feeling deep down inside and pretend that it will go away? Or is it better to address it openly and honestly?

Why do I even have to ask this? Are we in the ƒucking twilight zone???
