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.
The parallel with Jews and wealth would be Muslims and bombs, in which, I agree, Muslims should not be stereotyped as barbaric, though certainly you'd have to agree that the problem of violent extremism, inhumane treatment of women, gays, and apostates is more pronounced in Islam and cultures that are traditionally Muslim than any other religion in modern times? And is it wrong to point that out?

Mocking the Prophet and the religion of Islam, is not even remotely related as far as I can tell. How many Jewish terrorists have been inspired by making fun of the Prophet Moses? My guess is few to none.
