To know who rules you ask who you are not allowed to criticize.

Why are blasphemy laws against religion seen as bad but blasphemy laws against jews accepted?

There are no special laws for that in the UK, and it says as much in the article. She was sentenced under the more general indency laws in the UK which criminalize "grossly offensive statements".
