[[Literature/TheTalmud The Talmud]]. Note how the Your Mileage May Vary page for the Talmud is much shorter than the Bible\\\'s, and that the Bible\\\'s Your Mileage May Vary page had to be locked against editing due to (from the Locked Pages page \\\" Chronic edit war over Trope definitions and proper page tone and perspective...\\\"). Also this singling out is in contrast to the page for the Qu\\\'ran (see here; [[Literature/TheQuran The Quran]]), the holy book of Islam which has (fortunately) remained free of the desecration that has plagued the Bible\\\'s page despite the increasing amounts of anti-Islam sentiment following 9/11. Also note that the Bible has ten reviews, some of which are sadly just scornful rants (by people I personally suspect haven\\\'t read the whole Bible, or any it at all), yet such scorn is (thankfully) absent from the pages for the Talmud and the Qu\\\'ran.
I have a theory, here sampled from the Acceptable Religious Targets page regarding Christianity; \\\"There are also possible cases where [[TheScapegoat Christianity is mocked as a way to mock the other Abrahamic religions by proxy]]. Regarding said religions, mockery of Islam has become rare because many have given them [[TheDreaded a reputation]] following the 9/11 attacks in 2001 so those people fear (violent) reprisals if they criticize Islam, while Judaism has [[DarkAndTroubledPast history of persecution]] and there\\\'s [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement a significant amount]] of [[WriterOnBoard Jewish influence in Western media]]. Interestingly, in the case of the second, many people [[SelectiveObliviousness overlook]] or [[LittleKnownFacts are unaware of]] the fact that Christians (and by extension Christianity) [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians has also had a history of being unfairly persecuted]].\\\"
See what I mean?
(P.S. I realize that I may have mixed up Torah and Talmud; what I meant is that in the first example the Christian holy book and the Jewish holy book are practically the same yet the Christian holy book is scorned here while the Jewish holy book doesn\\\'t seem to be).
