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

The cartoons were first published in the Danish newspaper months before the Palestinian elections. Many groups, even the Anti Defamation League, characterized them as distasteful and offensive.

The issue was resurrected when the Islamic Society of Denmark distributed the photos, along with three fakes, giving as an explanation:
to "give an insight in how hateful the atmosphere in Denmark is towards Muslims."
