Well, the same Danish newspaper declined in the past to publish a cartoon of Jesus, citing the negative reaction of Christian readers.

This seems more like a direct and purposeful provocation. Perhaps in response the the election of Hamas in Palestine? Perhaps in response to the Islamic Republic of Iran?

The reaction of muslims around the world has very little to do with the cartoon. They are reacting, perhaps, to the west meddling in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan. Reacting to the indiscriminate killing of civilians in their countries? Reacting to World Bank and IMF policies that extorted perpetual rights to natural resources as payment for bad debt and foreign aid.

No doubt it is a dangerous and volatile situation. Let's see how long before the west, led by Bush, exploit it for corporate gain. It is really no surprise to see reactions calling them "violent" coming from people living in a country that has been bombing the world - the third world and arab world - for decades. It seems to willfully ignore that America is the most violence prone country on earth in this century, launching unprovoked, pre-emptive war. Those chickens will come home to roost sooner or later.
