This gives the impression that he islamic world are making a mountain out of a molehill, after all, how can such a cartoon like that be truly offensive?
When in actuallity, Danish muslims have put together their own "dodgy dossier" and taken it to the middle east, which includes the published cartoons, but also includes some far more offensive images along with alot of other anti-islamic properganda.
Think of the reaction like this:
A dossier of images mocking jesus is released, it contains pictures of jesus copulating with a goat, and also that well known image of the jesus action figure.
Christians get understandably offended at the obscene images included, not hugely offended by the action figure.
The media reports that the christians are offended by the action figure and don't mention the goat images.
Non-christians fail to understand what all the fuss is about.

What of the Oma though?

By Oma, do you mean the muslim Ummah. The term/phrase Ummah refers to the collection of muslims worlwide. So if someone speaks of the Muslim Ummah they are referring to all the muslims of the time, irregardless of their race. You can also refer to an Ummah from a specific time and place, eg) the British Ummah or the Ummah at the time of the Prophet.
