Firstly these thugs that are attacking people and threatening bomb attacks are a minority, and please remember that.
This depiction of their prophet is offensive, and a lot of normal Muslims are offended. Think of the equivalent of someone drawing a demeaning picture of your Mum/Dad/spouse and you'll get the idea. BUT most Muslims will not do anything more violent than start a heated discussion.
This overreaction is down to a small bunch of shit-stirring Imans from Denmark, who showed these cartoons (plus some extra unrelated offensive ones) to various leaders in the Middle East. After all these were originally published last SEPTEMBER with little fuss.
It worries me that people see these extremists, and think all Muslims are like this. And use this as a platform transmit racist abuse thinly disguised as a call for freedom of speech. The newspaper took a gamble at creating a bit of free cheap publicity, with some childish cartoons. It succeeded but it backfired badly. Unfortuntely for the citizens of Denmark it harmed them too.

(Feb 7 06, 09:23)I'm offended from time to time by so-called art and political positions I don't agree with. It's called living in a democracy.
Deal with it.
