n/m I found it. http://www.newspaperindex.com/blog/2005/12/10/un-to-investigate-jyllands-posten-racism/
But what is the big deal (besides the whole blaspheming thing)? Seems like a pretty effective political cartoon to me. (getting a detailed message across in a single image). I wouldn't have known it was Mohammad if I wasn't told. But knowing who it is, the cartoon makes good sense to me (that Mohammad and his ideas and his followers are a bombshell in the modern world). I might be missing something, but it does not mean to me that Mohammad has a literal bomb under his turban, or that he is a suicide bomber, or anything actually to do with Mohammad himself, but to me it is using Mohammad as a symbol of Islam, and the bomb as a symbol of an explosive situation. These are fairly standard political cartoon mechanisms. Also, when did "racism" come to mean anything a particular group finds offensive, and not specifically something to do with differentiation by race?
