in the Koran, images of Mohammed (peace be upon him) are prohibited.....
it's similar to the commandment "Thou shalt not worship false idols".... having images of the God/Prophet to worship can lead t you worshiping the image rather than God/Prophet
Christianity doesn't place such constraints upon images...

Many Christians do take offence about images of Jesus.
Christians pray to images of Mary, etc: Does god get insulted?
I think the answer you are looking for is: They get upset because they have nothing better to do with their lives...
Why should anyone be upset on behalf of God or Religion?
Fighting in the name of God is the biggest insult of all...

It is offenssive to "re-create" any form of the Holy Prophet... Jesus is also a prophet of islam and if there are images of him found it is also offensive just like the rest of the prophets.
Muslim do not worship idols, we worship our Allah, it is similar in the case of images of the prophet, we follow his teaching and not an image.

Because the Quran forbids Mohammad being pictured in any way. And the Bible allows this even though it's written that people don't have to worship painted faces.

Simple Muslims take the word of God when he says "Thou shalt have no any other Gods before me." Seriously..
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous.
As much as they love and respect Mohammad PBUH they love Allah more and respect and honour his words...

All religions have something to which the object, as a matter of course, I have seen many pictures of Muhammad (pbuh) from Islamic countries such as Iraq and Iran.
They just don't like us taking the piss, fair enough, but please don't kill us for doing so.
