There were complaints the first time these cartoons were published. Simple "Dear Editor, WTF?! Offensive"-style complaints.

The cartoons were published multiple times in multiple papers (i.e. Complaints were ignored).

There are plenty of peaceful/legal protests against this that are "causing a fuss" but are doing it near-legally. There are also extremists who are going "bomb the infedel"-style protests... and I assume that's who you're talking about.
Ye its the violent ones I mean. And i the complaints were ignored then well, i don't know. I suppose they can publish the cartoons elsewhere but you're right, it is ignoring those who are offended, in which case they have every right to get upset with it (In a peaceful way of course). But I have to say, if it was cartoons making fun of Christianity (such things happen in so many TV shows) I doubt there'd be violent protests, or at least as many. It seems that any poking fun of the majority, or the country's main religion isn't as noticed, yet when it's the ethnic minorties, much more notice is taken(Not being predjudiced or racist, just saying that you seem to see a lot more coverage about insults towards say Muslims than you do on insults to christians, except in the cases of the Christian zealots)
