No, I don't agree. It's not the same thing at all. He would be driving a moving advertisement (a very in your face one) for something he disagrees with. He hasn't threatened to nuke the hell out of the country this has occurred in, nor is he about to embark on civil disobedience, or inciting others to possibly murder anyone. He took the matter up with the appropriate authorities and appears to have consented to a reasonable compromise. This is not obsessive bigotry and it is not at all like the other examples you stated. I'm not saying I agree with his opinions. Just that I admire him for standing up for them in a reasonable way.
