Depicting Mohammed is strictly prohibited in Islam (it is seen as idolatry - a wrong that also finds dictates in both Judiasm and Christianity). It is very offensive. I would compare it to some of the stuff Marilyn Manson pulled in the US. Like ripping a Bible in two during the MTV VMAs. The fact that everyone thinks its no big deal illustrates a remarkable ignorance of Middle Eastern culture. Still, the Danish newspaper apologized for being dumbasses, so they could probably chill out a little. I guess the fact that they have lived with about one hundred years of western colonialism and illegitimate leadership kinda creates a somewhat hostile attitude.
