And is it wrong to point that out?
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.
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.
