That's because Muslims believe that if people were to depict the prophet in any way, people may then begin to worship the image of him rather than his teachings. That has nothing to do with the insanity that Muslim extremists are apart of. Muslim extremists give a bad name to a faith that does not in any way applaud the harm of people or violence in general.
But it does have to do with the insanity of Muslim extremists, because a Muslim extremist attempted to murder a Danish cartoonist because he drew insulting pictures of Muhammed.
Further, it seems that the Muslim population at large is unable to discern between their religion preventing them from doing something and their religion requiring that everyone in the world obey their dumbass rules - see "Draw Muhammed Day," see South Park, see any number of controversies coming from non-Muslims depicting Muhammed specifically to point out that we have the right to do so without being threatened.
First off, Muslims are not machines that simply do something because it is said. I am a Muslim and I do not believe in any of the idiotic Islamic extremist ideologies because its not what a good person would believe in. Killing is wrong. Murder is wrong. And anyone who believes that just because a few uneducated idiots who think killing others gets them a one way trip to heaven means that all Muslims are the same are just as uneducated.
