Muhammad isn't sacred, he was just a man like you and I, who was inspired by Allah to reveal the Qu'ran.

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;

He is definitely not sacred. The reason why he is not sacred is that only the Creator is sacred. And if you study the teachings of all the Prophets you will find that they worshipped their Creator. And anything created can not be put on par with the Creator. The Prophets are the same as us, in that they are created human beings subservient to a higher power.
However, the Prophets are very special people. Because, today, we vote for people to be our leaders, or it is handed down through generations (kingdoms). But the Prophets were special people because they were chosen by Allah to be leaders of the people. Allah has selected some 400,000 people throughout time, to be Prophets and carry out the message of worshipping One God without partner, and doing righteous good deeds. We make no distinction amongst the Prophets.
Then, Allah has selected an even smaller number of people to be the followers of the Prophets. Which means we worship our Creator just as they worshipped the same Creator (Allah). The special prize that Allah gives man on this Earth is not money or material wealth, but it is believe in a higher power (Allah). Because if you know the value of material things, but you don't know the value of your own soul, then what good is it?
