    Quran confirms Jews worshipped Calf when Moses pbuh went to Mount to recieve Torah.

    Quran says Jews worshipped their Rabbis and scholars by obeying them who made things halal and haraam without Gods orders.

    Quran also says like christians(Jesus pbuh) jews too claimed Ezra pbuh as son of god.

    All above definitely make them polytheists idol worshippers.

    When the Jews were being led to safety (By Moses I believe - PBUH) They had turned away from God and worshipped a statue of A Golden Bull because they felt God was not watching over them and taking care for them (they were in the desert for several days, losing hope). This had upset the prophet greatly because they had lost trust and faith in YHWH (The Jewish God).

    Also, as an above answer stated, Jews would worship their Rabbis and scholars and tended to follow everything they would preach.

    The Jews had a tendency to copy other nations. So they demanded

    for making in idol in spite of the fact that Allah Almighty had been

    Very Kind to them and helped and sustained them even in the desert.

    But Muslims today also worship Idols.

    Allah is a pagan idol.

    Kissing the black stone in the Kaaba is nothing but idol worship.

    Muslims pray like ancient pagans and keep a 30 day fast just like their pagan ancestors.

    Allah tells us in Quran that Jews made a calf idol and worshiped it when Moses went to God and spent on Mount Sinia 40 days with God. It is a fact and that is why God tells us in the following Ayahs:

    And (remember) when We appointed for Musa (Moses) forty nights, and (in his absence) you took the calf (for worship), and you were Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers).

    ( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #51)

    (3) And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: "O my people! Verily, you have wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf. So turn in repentance to your Creator and kill yourselves (the innocent kill the wrongdoers among you), that will be better for you with your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance. Truly, He is the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.

    ( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #54)

    Qur'an says, Allah converted some Jews into monkeys because they violated, the Sabbath to set an example.

    No rapist or murderer was turned into monkeys.

    ____________________________

    Qur'an 2:65. And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: "Be ye APES, despised and rejected."

    Qur'an 2:66. So We made it an example to their own time and to their posterity, and a lesson to those who fear Allah.

    ------

    Qur'an 2:92. There came to you Moses with clear (Signs); yet ye worshipped the calf (Even) after that, and ye did behave wrongfully.
