It is understood that the question means the issue for Sunnis with Shiites.
The answer is that no basic issues of conflicts. See the related question, listed below, for more information.

The only issue is historian by nature. The Sunnis were accepting the 4 caliphs who succeeded the prophet (peace upon him) after his death. The Shiites claimed that the first Caliph after the prophet should have been Ali Ibn Abou Taleb, the prophet cousine and the husband of his daughter, and his descendants afterward. However, they didn't revolt or demonstrated against the elected Caliphs. Ali (God be pleased with him) himself supported the three Caliphs who cam after the prophet and he (Ali) was the fourth caliph.

Why do Muslims currently have such an issue with drawings of Muhammad?

This is a problem that cuts along sectarian lines. It is Sunni Muslims (exclusively) who have an issue with drawings of Muhammad as a general proposition. Shiite and Ibadi Muslims oppose offensive or disgraceful depictions of Muhammad, but have no issue with images of Muhammad and visits to Shiite or Ibadi majority Islamic countries will reveal numerous votive images of Muhammad, up to the present day.Sunni Islam went through an iconoclastic phase in the 9th century which led to the eventual banning of Muhammad's likeness under the fear that it could be idolatry. Many Islamic pieces of artwork containing Muhammad's face were defaced by iconoclastic Sunnis. However, there were periods when this feeling waxed and waned, leading to later Sunnis occasionally drawing Muhammad. There has been an upsurge in Sunni iconoclasm following the Muhammad cartoon controversies since Sunnis see the depictions as sacrilege.
