Like what? In what way are we generalising that is invalid?

Even you have mentioned being offended. Tell me, which of these cartoons is such a problem? Any specific one, all, some? Because I think they're mostly lame - several avoid depicting Muhammed anyway.

Yeah. We're all dumb, have no understanding of any of the issues and can only see our own view of things.

Let's check up a definition of the word 'bigot':

a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices
Sounds to me like that could just as well apply to a large number of Muslims too.
