I thought the 'we're running out of virgins' one was quite amusing. I didn't infer that the chap at the gates was anyone in particular, so I don't see the problem with that one.
I still haven't seen the full set as published - the 'bomb head' one wouldn't be a problem
unless someone specifically stated that the image was supposed to represent Mohammed. Which wouldn't be necessary to make the point, really.

I think it is quite clear that the broader publication of the cartoons around Europe was indeed in response to the fire with which they were being attacked.
