Denmark = a Dane conundrum

Why are these Muslims, protesting over these caricatures of Mohammed, associating the few Danish people that published the drawings with the government and people of Denmark? Not only is recalling ambassadors and boycotting Danish goods a quite infantile overreaction, but it is punishing completely the wrong people!

Again, I can only imagine it is because there are Muslim theocracies, and in these countries there is such control that the state must be complicit in any action for it to be allowed.

How then do the Muslims (in question) reconcile their defence that we shouldn't tar all Muslims with the brush of the 'few' fanatics?
