But those terms are pretty much all fair comment - you've just called him a troll yourself, i.e. his primary aim here is to provoke a reaction.

The difference is, there's no crowds of people on the streets of Western cities being stoked up by religious leaders to froth at the mouth, burn flags and effigies and threaten terrorist attacks on Tehran unless they call off the "conference". No equivalents of fatwas are being issued.

In other words, there is no attempt so far by any "Western" power to limit freedom of speech, those opposed to it have merely exercised their own right to call this event the offensive sham it is.
