It's a bad look for the newspaper, but it also goes to show that they thought making fun of Christianity in a Christian dominated country would backlash on them in a worse way than they obviously thought making fun of Islam would do (and eventually did), in a country where muslims is a minority.

Obviously they were wrong.. no one could have predicted that muslims would be so pissed that they would burn embassies and put out bounties for killing Danish people, there's no way anything like that would happen if they printed the Jesus cartoons.. and it's the Danish Imam's that really blew the whole situation up, by spreading the pictures and other unfamiliar pictures to muslim countries.

It takes away a great deal of credibility from the newspaper, but it doesn't mean that they did anything illegal by printing them.
It's a Danish newspaper with a couple of hundred thousand readers, now they suddenly got more than 1.4 million readers daily on their site...
