So the question I put to you is why this cartoon mayhem now? What’s different? Is it really just our recent behavior?

The whole purpose of the cartoons was to get a reaction. The purpose was to offend. That's it. They artist said, "Look at what I'm going to do. I'm going to draw something that will upset you. What are you going to do when I'm done?"
I mean, you can't walk into a black neighborhood, wearing a KKK costume, trying to get a reaction, then cry "Free speech!" when things go sour. Well, technically you could, but you'd be a jerk.

Exactly right. They wanted a "rise" and they got one. Its that simple.
