If Jews are considered bad and corrupt... was Jesus (may God be pleased with him corrupt)? Some people just seem like they have no knowledge and they love steoreotyping.

Three parts and I hope to not be too long-winded (or maybe long-typed is the correct term).
1) Jews are not bad or corrupt according to my religion (Roman Catholic), nor are they so according to any religion that I know of, unless you want to consider the Nazis a religion. They have been one of the most persecuted groups in history.
2) Yes, Jesus was a Jew, but even if Jews were bad or corrupt, He would not have been because He was born without original sin (unlike most of the rest of humanity).
3) I do not mean to be offensive and I do not know much about the Muslim beliefs, but I do know that according to current cultural anthropological studies, the Muslim culture is and has been for a very long time one of the most ethnocentric (unaccepting of others' cultures) cultures in the world, because of the teachings that those who do not believe as they do deserve to die. Like I said, I do not know that this is what everyone is taught, and I do not want to stereotype; my point is that maybe before accusing others of stereotyping, you should reconsider your own words. [I realize you are not explicitly talking to Christians, (you, in fact did not address a specific audience at all) however, I am 95% sure that you realize Christianity is the implied audience]

Who says that Jews are bad and corrupt? Jews for Jesus is about people of Jewish heritage who are xtians. The Jews who practice Judaism do not believe that a messiah has come yet. They are still looking. You are the one that is not knowledgeable.

Jesus was a Jew, yes. Christianity came about after Jesus was executed, hence the name CHRISTianity. After that, anyone who is still waiting for the coming of Jesus or God is a Jew. The ones that believe Christ was already here and died for the sins of human kind, are Christians.

Jesus lived a chaste and holly life. He taught us to love one another and get on with our neighbours. Of course it only works if everyone abides by these rules.

Of course. But the whole notion is a delusion. So is Islam.
