criticism is fine. making anti-semitic statements is not fine. "jewish extremists are behind all the religious conflicts in the world" is not a criticism, its an antisemitic statement.
people criticize judaism here all the time. ALL the time. there are always questions on the board "why is the OT G-d so hateful? why is he so sexist" etc. the OT G-d is the jewish G-d. the OT is the jewish scriptures. but you don't find a lot of jews going in there whining about "omg stop putting down my religion!!" occasionally we go in and explain what the verses actually mean, but thats about all.
but stating that jews are somehow responsible for every war in the world when very few wars in the world actually involve jews at all is just being racist and it just shows how extremely unintelligent they are. well, you know, unless the sunnis and shiites are jewish. or if the arabs who blew up the world trade centre were jewish. or if all the protestants and catholics killing each other in ireland are jewish. and if the governments in rwanda who massacred certain african groups were jewish. i guess since all those people are jewish we should take some of the blame, right?

"Jew extremists are behind all the religious conflicts in the world".... this is not criticism, this is a ridiculous anti-Semitic statement based on some kind of weird conspiracy theory. I mean when people criticize Israel's policies, okay, that is criticism, but what have Jews to do with a conflict between Muslims and Hindus for example????
I am not Jewish btw.
It is also true that no one likes to be criticized and everyone is actually allowed to criticize others. I also don't like all these slurs against Muslims here, I don't like them against anyone.

It is simply untrue that Jews are responsible for conflicts around the world. Try researching some history and you will discover that Jews have been amongst the most victimized groups of people in the world. If there are problems for the Arab community, they may have more to do with American foreign policy, such as interference in Iran, Iraq and Syria. There is also a lot of poverty, illiteracy and destabilization in these countries.
It is unfair to stereotype Muslims. A lot of the problems stem from institutions, such as the religious authority that invokes literalist interpretations of shari'a law, corrupt governments backed by the military, and terrorist activity that influences government policy. This has nothing to do with the real nature of Islam or the Koran, nor do these problems reflect what most Muslims believe. However, there has never been any justification for anti-Semitism.

Surely you jest! I answered in the humorous sarcasm the question deserved.
One reason you don't see a lot of attacks on Jews on this section is that you don't get a lot of Jews using this section as a pulpit. I have read a few attacks on Jews on this site, but they are uniformly silly or vicious. The shrill voices on this forum are usually Christians, Muslims, a few silly atheists and a couple of wanna-be comedians.

Nobody likes to be criticized; chalk it up to human nature.
People do not react well to questions such as the one you quoted. I am sure Muslims and Christians would be offended if someone accused them as a group; it is not only a Jewish thing.
Oh, yes, I am Jewish.

Look, NO ONE really WANTS to be criticized, not anyone.
So can we just get over this whole - "look, they're complaining, look, they're crybabies, look, they can't take the heat" THING?
Based on what I've read here in the last month, EVERYONE has has their religious beliefs (or non-belief) mocked, and someone in EVERY religion has become a little defensive about it, so just get over it.
Worry about YOUR OWN reactions.

What a poorly written question? But no one likes a negative critique.
