You really believe this is about saying 'fuck you' to Muslims? Don't they also take the piss out of other religious figures? I'm still waiting for Jewish/Christian posters to come on here ranting about such offensive cartoons. I actually get the feeling you'd like your accusations to be true for some weird reason.
The biggest fuck you, you could ever give to Muslim. And the reason they did it? For no other reason than that they could and the Muslims could like it or lump it. As I remember it, there was no great crisis of free speech they were trying to address. Nobody was attacking free speech at the time. It was a straw man put up to inflame the Muslim community and to put the Muslim minority in it's place.

So are Christians supposed to lump or like this massacre on a church or the other countless ones around the world, or what about the bunch of Muslim kids that attacked a German Christian church and parishioners on Christmas Eve or the German man on same night stabbed for wishing "merry christmas" to a Muslim man and woman(I suppose he was inciting them was he). Nah none of these things are comparable to a doodle of a guy that may have existed thousands of years ago. Just search Christian church massacre and see the other side of the coin...the Christian minorities in Muslim countries
