You never know what people will believe, follow, or find offensive. A couple months back Arnold Schwartzeneger called in to Howard Stern and agreed with him that blowing up the moon would be a good idea (a joke obviously) and went on to say that it was a good thing because it would stop women's menstrual cycles (part of the joke, and of course not true). THe whole next week it was allover the news and people were all upset about him wanting to blow up the moon and saying they hated all women.
Now take another look at this guy. He holds a position that to some people holds some power over them. To them he is the voiceof their religion (or atleast one of them). And for many people when anyone from their religion comes along and says something they'll usually believe it. Thats just the way it is, and has always been. So now there's who knows how many people out there who think killing this guy (or anyone) is a good idea.
