I didn't write the post, I pasted it from another person, but I think there is a double standard when people can't even associate wealth with Jews without being criticized but the public has no problems with insulting Islam and it's founder.
People are sensitive to anything that might offend the Jews but don't care about how offensive they are to Muslims.
It's ok to show hate towards Muslims but not ok to show hate towards Jews. When Mohammad is mocked, the intention is to attack Muslims and disrespect them.
This double standard has to go.
