As a consequence of the London bombings?
Zombietime briefly has the story of what is now believed (also by
danish politicians) to be the real reason for what has happened:
"Furthermore, when a delegation of Danish imams went to the
Middle East to discuss the issue of the cartoons with senior
officials and prominent Islamic scholars, the imams openly
distributed a booklet that showed not only the original 12
cartoons, but three fraudulent anti-Mohammed depictions that were
much more offensive than the ones published in Denmark. It is now
thought that these three bonus images are what ignited the
outrage in the Muslim world. The newspaper Ekstra Bladet obtained
a copy of the booklet and presented the three offensive images on
its Web site (though not in an easy-to-find place). All look like
low-quality photocopies."

The text above the picture of the praying muslim and the dog
says: "Why muslims pray!" Obviously, none of these pictures have
ever been published by any danish newspaper.
The 12 original drawings are well within what is usually accepted
as political or religious satire in Denmark.
