He can certainly establish that caricatures of Mohammed have been drawn by Muslims for centuries. He can probably establish that many Muslim publications, including some in the main library in Tehran, currently have Mohammed caricatures. He can probably establish there is nothing in the Koran that forbids or even mentions a ban on caricatures of Mohammed and he can probably establish this "ban" stuff is pretty recent and largely confined to certain sects of Islam.
While I agree Ezra Levant is a wingnut, he'd probably love to see someone try to sue him for damages or charge him with a hate crime because he's probably pretty confident of the ground he's standing on, knowing he's probably bulletproof on it.
Although maybe not bulletproof when it comes to real bullets.
Incidentally, just listening to CNN last night I think they mentioned a survey where more than 60% of Americans think the whole cartoon fiasco is a result of Muslim intolerance but more than 60% also think publishing the cartoons was an unnecessary provocation.
