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.

Actually Levant is the publisher, the editor is Kevin Libin. It was his decision to run the cartoons which was then supported by Levant.
As for the rest, i still say its irrelevant. The WS is a conservative, right wing publication with clear political leanings. But its not a Jewish publication. So...again I question why we are bringing Levant's religion into the discussion. Unless the argument being made is that the only reason Levant allowed the piece to run is because he is Jewish and therefore anti-Muslim.
