and if they had a problem with it or thought it was unethical, or untruthful they should have complained here; Information in English

same deal in the UK with independent press complaints commision etc

threatening to kill, and actually trying to kill people because of it is the act of lunatics, not sane people and its very difficult to reason with a lunatic :p

"harm" is the crucial word here. The drawing didn´t objectively harm anyone. It´s just not allowed to draw Muhammad in the muslim world (as far as I understand anyways... correct me if I´m wron, Chronic). That´s the important difference to people like Salman Rushdie or this dutch movie producer that got killed. Both intentionally and directly insulted the religion. The danish cartoonist just excercised his freedom of speech and violated a rule that doesn´t apply where he lives.

Just could have harmed feelings and a strong religious belief, seems not deliberated, still legal and correct in his country, still international missunderstoods should be fixed with a "sorry, didn't pretend to offend you, in my country this is legal and not offensive" which should be enough, but if even like that, people don't want to forget the incident and still get annoyed and maybe even violent reponsing, this is not a tolerating behaviour from those affected by the misstake/missunderstood
