The protestors asked the Danish government to officially apologize for these drawings and punish the newspaper which published it, and the artist who drew it. To put pressure on the Denmark, Muslims started to boycott Danish products, and most of the Islamic countries sent letters of protest to the Denmark. Some countries are trying diplomatic pressure, like Libya which closed it's embassy in the Denmark. The Danish government explained that it is not responsible for these drawings nor it has any control over the newspaper which publish it, and this a matter of freedom of expression which is granted by it is constitution. Also the government expressed it's respect to Islam as a major world religion.
Islam prohibits any drawings of Muhammad, and definitely a sarcastic drawing is something considered unforgivable offense against Islam.
As a former Muslim, I do not agree with these drawings, but I do salute the courage of the Danish people and their government to stand for their basic rights despite the pressure and the blackmail they are facing from the Muslim world; of whom want to force the Danish to apologize for having freedom of expression. For this I say: Hail the Danish People... The following is the drawings which caused this crisis.

Muslims
all over the world are protesting against comics posing the
prophet of Islam Muhammad in a humors and "disrespectful" way published in a
Danish newspaper called "
Muslims
who are not custom to the freedom of expression are not satisfied with this
answer. Since most of media in the Islamic world is controlled by the government
and are not saying anything except it is approved by their governments, Muslims
think that Denmark's government approved these humiliating drawings and
therefore they asked the Danish government to apologize for this and even punish
those who are responsible. 
Despite the economic and political loses the Denmark is suffering and will
suffer, an opinion poll showed that 62% of the Danish people do not think that
their government should apologize for something out of it is control and did not
do.
