There is a bit of irony if the intent of the video was to dispute Islam's insistent claims of being a peaceful religion because they usually make that claim after outbursts like this.
As for his accountability, I suppose it would depend on the video's premise.
Its not as if his whole film is:
"Eff-you guys! Come at me Islam!"
If it were, then yes, he should be held accountable.
However, if it was something closer to:
"Islam claims to be a religion of peace, I dispute these claims, my dispute is based on this evidence that I present to you and my conclusion is that their claims are flawed and this is why."
Then no, I dont think they should be throwing him over the wall at the angry mob unless his evidence was obviously flimsy and meant to incite unrest.

I believe part of the film was to ask a donkey what he thought of Mohammed.
Without seeing it myself, that seems like an intention to mock.
