CNN can run what they choose, as long as it's factual. If they choose not to run a rather childish picture then that's their right.
Major Muslim reporting organizations and their goals and biases are a whole other can of worms.
When any news organization is used more for propaganda than impartial reporting it's a sad day for everyone.

From canada.com,
Fundamentalist Muslims protested outside the Danish Embassy in Malaysia, chanting "Long live Islam. Destroy our enemies" and accusing Denmark's Jyllands Posten newspaper, which first published the cartoons, of seeking to incite hatred. (bold mine)
I understand the outrage surfacing; even positive depictions of Muhamed are strictly forbidden by most Islamic groups. However, this kind of overrarching hatred and anger towards entire countries after a single published cartoon is just a little extreme.
