Then why do people riot in the streets when someone draws a picture of him? He's clearly scared to a lot of muslims.

Because he was inspired by Allah with the Qu'ran, and he was chosen by Allah to be a Prophet. He established Islam firmly in this world, and so people got upset when he was defamed in those pictures as a joke.

I already answered the question. It was rhetorical. He clearly is sacred to many muslims and certainly isn't seen as;

Because if you were made fun of in cartoons no one would riot.

He is not sacred, he is a man. However, Allah selects a certain number of men to be Prophets. This is the highest level of achievement for a human. You can't go to the polls and vote for a Prophet. Nobody campaigned or went and voted for Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, etc. to be Prophets. It was Allah who chose them. Likewise, Allah only chooses a certain number of people to be the followers of Prophets and worship God alone without partners, and do righteous good deeds.

I'm not telling you what the religion says he is. I'm telling you that to many muslims he is seen as scared. According to Islam Jesus is a chosen prohet too. He is on the same level of achievement as Muhammad, yet you don't see muslims rioting or protesting when Jesus gets goofed on in imagery on TV every few days or so. Jesus is not seen as sacred by the same muslims that see Muhammad as sacred. I'm not telling you I know the reason for this. I'm just telling you it exists.

My take on all those protests is that before the cartoon being published, Muslims fellt like they were/are purposely being targeted around the world by the media and the military, like 'bombing our bretheren overseas and arranging them in naked shit stained human pyramids, now they got the nerve to kick us while we are down and claim artistic liberty?' The cartoon understandably just pushed some people to the edge.
Muhammad was a man, so you can give a man that name.
So that we remember he was just a man, we should not characterise him.

Yes but, if the muslims that rioted did not think he was sacred then they wouldn't have rioted, or they would have rioted any time any muslim is portrayed like an evil being or any prophet is represented in picture. I'm not saying that Islam teaches that Muhammad is scared or should be treated as such, but anyone that denies the absolute fact that backwoods muslims believe him to be sacred (just like backwoods American nuts believe the flag and to an extent the president is sacred) is simply not being honest with themselves or not thinking it through, like the arab muslim world is immune to the mass stupidity that plagues the rest of the world. This doesn't mean all or most think he's scared, just like not all or most Americans think the flag is sacred, but a lot of, a lot of muslims think he's sacred.
