So he has a Jewish following and an affect on the Jewish thinking. So by adding fuel to fire he is inticing more displeasure or new displeasure in the minds of the Jewish people against Muslims and all this while one of the most disputed areas of conflict in the world involves the Jewish and Muslim religions. It has a lot to do with it.

SO..you are saying that if he was a Christian, or Agnostic, or an Aethiest, he wouldn't be printing the pics? It is just because he is Jewish (and all that suposedly is involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) that he is 'fanning the flames'?
Asr the editor's of the US papers that have printed the pics Jewish? How about the editors of the student paper in PEI? or the Prof. that displayed them?
Though you may think he is a nutbar, Ezra's beckground is not in Jewish Ethics, it is in Canadian Constatutional Law. He is approching this (as are many pundits) as a Western Values vs Radical Islamic values issue.
He is quite clear on that.
