Well, it's stil a prejudice but... At least you're giving some of them the benefit of a doubt. Naturally no one has a right to protest in such a way as they did (burning down ambasies) - that's pure and simply a criminal act of agression (and the countries would have a legitimet right to delare war on them). An attack on an embasy is an attack on the sovereignity of that country.
Still the situation is slightly more complex. It's got quite a lot to do with the world devision. The reasons muslim countries (especially the Arab world) is reacting the way it is are very similar to those in newly funded European countries in the second half of the 19th century (Germany and Italy) who were protesting against the colonial supremacy of Britain and France.
Regular citizens of European countries aren't daily concerned with how much more they have then regular people in Arab countries, nor do they daily realize how much of what they have is at the expense of somebody else.
It's the deprived people that see the daily injustice in this and that's they are way more sensitive to such "sacrelidges". It's simple and easy being colturally open and tolerant- when you're well taken care off. Even the homeless bums have certain rights and can get a warm shelter and at least one warm meal a day in Europe. On the other hand poor countries (here I'm not talking about Saudi Arabia) still feel famine. If a country is at the bottom (I'm talking Somalia now) then people can't even think about some foregin country (except if they have a chance to escape there). But countries that are just getting wake feel deep injustice (that's one of the reasons there was a 100 year war between England and France - among other things - because England felt deprived).
So even now there are two sides of the medal!
