What if Jews were Insulted?
By Bernie on 21 Jun 2006:
So I get an email (yes from Muslim) complaining that Jews would react just as violently over the cartoon affair earlier this year if they were insulted.
OK. First the Muslim response:

AP Photo - Karachi - Feb 16 2006 - A few demonstrators took to the streets to protest the Danish Cartoons insulting the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him)
London Protester obviously is learning something interesting in her Muslim school
Yahoo Photo - NY Protester wants us to know of things to come
Yahoo Photo - Iranians burn cross to demonstrate how tolerant they are of other religions
Yahoo Photo - One or Two Pakistani women come out to quietly voice their objections over blasphemous cartoons
Yahoo Photo - Tanzania youth welcomes Denmark into the peaceful world of Islam
So to answer the Muslims complaint that Jews would react just as violently if they were insulted. Yes, you are right, once when I made an offensive Jewish joke when I was studying in Jerusalem, a Jew threw a bagel at me. Unfortunately, it was before he put lox and cream cheese on it. Now of course you know that bagels are sacred to the Jews - so this rarely happens unless a Jew is severely provoked. This is why you will hear the phrase "he threw a fit" but you will hardly ever hear "he threw a bagel".
