A good demonstration that religious zealots are religious zealots, and potentially dangerous no matter what their denomination is. |

True. And besides, it isn't like Elton is singing his crappy "English Rose" song all the time anymore. Now that he cut that shit out, he should be allowed to live.  |

Right-wing zealots and Muslim zealots have a lot in common. Just imagine the riots there would be if there was a gay Jesus cartoon. |

Did this guy only post the video of him holding a sign? If so, that would make him an intolerant [Mod Edit] , but a terrorist? If you watch the video, it's pretty clear that he's not calling for anyone (other than God) to kill Elton John. |

If Elton John is convinced that there even was such a person as Jesus,
he's closer to a Christian than I am. |

The man should be arrested for making a nuisance of himself, BTW. Calling this "terrorism" is an idiotic misuse of the word. |

Fortunately, being a "nuisance" on a public sidewalk by a busy street in the middle of the day is protected by the First Amendment. |

Not if you are preventing the neighbours from enjoying their day. Take him away and release him somewhere where I don't have to see him, thanks. |

Perhaps he threatened to fly a plane into Elton. |

No such right exists. I can't call the cops on MC Hammer because he wears metallic-colored parachute pants that bother me to no end, and he can't call the cops on me because my skin is pale enough to reflect the sun and cause him to squint. If someone is merely bothering you in a public area, your only recourse is to simply ignore him or leave. |

Too bad he hasn't written a song worth listening to since then. |
