That is a bit of a sweeping generalisation Rammy - as a religious group, Muslims have every right to be upset if these cartoons break a specific 'guideline' within their tradition (ie not producing a representation of Muhammed).
TBH, I feel that using examples such as 9/11 or the London bombings is somewhat disingenuous - these weren't particularly done in the name of Islam, but as a reaction to the western worlds involvement in the middle east. Using these examples does seem to tar all Muslims with the same brush which, in my opinion, is simply wrong.
