The protests are political in nature, not religeous. The cartoons were published in a major Egyptian newspaper four months ago. There were no riots. Then the atomic energy people say that they are going to file a negative report on Iran with the UN Security Council and all hell breaks loose.

Why?

Because Denmark is the upcoming chair of the UNSC and this could persuade them to vote in favor of Iran for fear of reprisals.

That the Prophet must not be represented in art is bull. There is nothing in the Koran to that effect and there are numerous paintings in museums throughout the world containing representations of the Prophet. Many of them are Persian minitures and date back over 1,000 years. Some of them have his face blanked out but most do not.
