It seems the first publication to republish the famous cartoons was in...
Egypt:
http://egyptiansandmonkey.blogspot.com/2006/02/boycott-egypt.html
In the newspaper Al Fagr, on 17 October 2005, four months ago:
http://freedomforegyptians.blogspot.com/2006/02/egyptian-newspaper-pictures-that.html
The editors of that paper are not apologizing, yet nobody is burning
Egyptian flags.
It makes you wonder who decided months later to make an issue out of
the cartoons. Who stands to benefit by this cartoon row?
Also it's impressive that the blogosphere turned this up when the
traditional news media and numerous state departments couldn't seem to.
I bet the Danish Prime Minister would have liked to know this before
he met with Egypt's Ambassador in early February:
