Defamations against Judaism developed repeatedly into massacres and mass expulsions over the past 1700 years or so. That's why I believe that we have a responsibility to avoid mindless ridicule against religions

Well then, this episode was ok. It wasn't a mindless ridicule against a religion, it was ridiculing people who worship idols, in particular the people who worship a grilled chees sandwich that may or may not look like the Virgin Mary.

"...it was ridiculing people who worship idols..."

Even if you believe that, people who worship G-d and another (as a concept) are closer than Atheists and are to be respected. Besides, you won't find a willing foreign student of your beliefs (even if they ask without you proselytizing, which is when it becomes your duty) by making them angry with such nasty nonsense.
