Williams appeared on 'The O'Reilly Factor,' Monday and host Bill O'Reilly asked him to comment on the idea that the nation was facing a dilemma with Muslims.
O'Reilly has been looking for support for his own remarks on a recent episode of ABC's 'The View,' in which he directly blamed Muslims for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Co-hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg walked off the set in the middle of his appearance.
Williams responded: 'Look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.'
