I'd say, that there is a little thing you overlooked:
The cartoons are not just portrayals of Mohammed,
they are a pejorative portrayals.

ACTUALLY, historically speaking and in most islamic
traditions, it's no big
deal. There have been many and varied portrayals of Mohammed through the
centuries. Some have no problem with his portrayal, some insist that
portrayals must either blank or shield his face, some insist that only
Mohammed may not be depicted, and some - like the nutjobs who love to throw
paint over billboards advertising women's cosmetics - insist that the
portrayal of ANY human face is blasphemy.
But little things like the truth rarely get in the way of the ravings of
religious nutjobs, of course.
