Because in the Sunni branch of the Muslim faith, it is considered blasphemy to create any visual depiction (caricature or otherwise) of the Prophet Mohammed. The nature of the caricature did not matter. It only mattered that someone was drawing renditions of Mohammed.
Even if the drawings had been flattering, given the current climate of hostility from Muslims toward the West, there still likely would have been rioting among Sunni groups.

They were manipulated and lied to. There was a huge beat up by their religious leaders that the West was disrecpting their religion and wanted to bring an end to Islam. The masses responded by huge rallys where they burn effigies, not because of a caricature, but because of hateful relgious preaching. It's not the people to blame, it's the preachers.

Because weather they admit it or not, they are the most racist, violent, intolerant, discriminatory and overbearing people I have ever seen or heard of. Seeing them on documentaries is like going back to the barbaric stone age.

Just the idea of it...they knew what it depicted, and muslims react violently over so much, why not this?

because it must have been a disrespectful way to potray what they believe in... besides when you say "caricature" it almost, always make you think of something silly, exagerated and funny. for muslims, religion is not a laughing matter. they value it. they want respect from other people, especially in their tradiations..

Has anyone ever told you about something bad that happened that you did not see, and it angered you?
Anger is a fleshly response. The less control we have over it, the more rage is presented.

So-called 'guardians of morality' in the US condemn movies without watching them; it's by no means a Muslim-only phenomenon.

I considered how I would feel if I saw a cartoon of Jesus' head on the body of a dog. People are firestarters. They lack humanity in their hearts.
