Is it really a matter of whether you view it as a protest or not?
He said he's doing this in reaction to the recent events in Syria.
IF you do something in reaction to something with the intent of expressing your disapproval, I guess its and act of protest.
Gandhi did also used fasting as a form of protest, and he was a devout hindu.
I don't know why you deny the same thing to the Christians.
