I guess any little thing involving Mohammed as a teddy bear or in cartoons, however minute, offends certain Muslims so deeply that we all hear about it.
They are only following the law their god has revealed to them. It's the moderate religious that make no sense when they espouse that their revealed texts are only 'sort-of' God's word, or that people's eternal souls are on the line but that we 'shouldn't make much a deal out of it'.

Religion has a way of poisoning things.
