I know you're all pissed off about Terry Jones, the pastor that burned the Koran. You say 'He's so out of line, so insensitive.'
Yes, he's a nut job, there's a nut job on every corner. But how about we start judging a religion that decides to kill people when you burn their text?

Why bother fighting otherwise? (Actually that would be my choice, just to isolate these stone age people)
Anything else, he is out of his element. He sounds like an old man who has had a few and is now going to proceed to explain it all to you, at length. lol.
When Roman Catholic Europe basically went to war with anyone who wasn't....wait for it...Roman Catholic!
If you participate in "X", group "Y" will commit atrocity "Z".
Therefore, If you do participate in "X", atrocity "Z" is your fault.
It's all politically correct, metro-sexual, peacenik, kumbaya bullshit.
Adam puts this into perfect perspective it truly sad that he has to.......
I'll help you out here, the answer is zero.
Sorry there is no comparison between killing over a burned book and killing in the name of the unborn. No comparison. One group is killing over an inanimate object and the other is killing in their mind in the defense of human life.
Not to mention that just this specific Koran incident is responsible for more deaths than all abortion Dr. deaths combined. Even as a bad comparison it still doesn't go to make your point.
I did not see all Muslims react violently, so to judge the entire religion by its most vulnerable to violence shows a lack of thought about human nature and the situation in Afghanistan.
Actually the Riots that killed the Afghanistan weren't about the burning of the Koran. They were about the news of the American Soldiers hunting down and killing Afghanis for sport. The western media are using the Koran burning as an excuse. wake up.
And - Adam - think about that: They weren't protesting the burning of a book. They were protesting being hunted down and killed for sport by Americans.

Over 100,000 civilians have been killed during our "engagement" in the Middle East. And I'm not denying that Muslims were angry about the Koran burning. They should have been! To many of them (and to me...) it seems like most Americans have no respect for their religion, our soldiers hunt them like animals, our nation exploits their nations for natural resources.... I could go on. Yes, the Koran burning was part of it but it's really simplistic and dismissive of recent past events to say that the Koran burning was entirely responsible.
Adam is a bright guy and very funny. However, his views, especially when dealing with politics are overly simplistic and xenophobic. Also, when you have built a career out of being irreverent and bucking the "politically correct" (see The Man Show and Loveline), I'm not sure if you just feel obliged to take such stances because "thats the kind of Guy you are."
It may not seem like it, but I am a fan and enjoy Adam's show. But you have to understand who he is. You are not going to get nuanced complex political commentary from him. We all have friends like him; funny, intelligent guys who just don't know what the $&£# they are talking about when dealing with social or political issues (I usually call these my Republican friends).
