Im a 'moderate' muslim, wouldnt class myself as a 'fanatic' and I have demonstrated my displeasure through different channels.
In today's times where terrorism and Islam are being so closely linked together I do find it irresponsible for someone to publish such an image knowing that it will re-inforce people's beliefs that all muslims are terrorists and that is what the Prophet promoted. Additionally knowing the anger it has already promoted what has the BBC or anyone else got to gain by publishing them again, other than adding more feul to the fire.

With all respect, (I largely agree with what you posted), the idiots (sorry, I have no other word for it) demonstrating with placards as were mentioned are the ones that are behaving irresponsibly and add fuel to the fire.
In the light of these people, I find myself leaning towards being in favour of publishing the cartoons just to show we take freedom of speech seriously
Edit: I believe this is what is known as a lose-lose situation
