my throat hurts, its hard to swallow, and my body feels like i got a serious ass beating.
no matter how strong the religious beliefs of christians they never call their children jesus, in stark contrast to this muslims name half their children muhammad, when i lived in bournemouth i knew about 5 different muhammads i've never really understood this because muhammad is supposed to be so sacred to muslims doesn't giving people that name devalue that sacredness and also lead to situations where you may curse their name when they do something wrong.

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

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.
