Fair enough. But I think the point is that Jesus taught and preached some very important lessons in his limited number of years of ministry as a rabbi.
We should be listening to his wisdom and what he said 2,000 years ago, not antagonizing others with a "snuff film" about his horrible death.
Sure he was the most important man who ever lived (whether you believe he is the son of God or not), but hundreds of thousands of people were crucified under Roman rule. Their death and torture were equally brutal.
Torture and capital punishment still goes on today. I'm far from being a bleeding heart liberal so I'm not crying about terrorists being woken from their nap or hardened criminals getting the chair, but...
Everyone regardless of whether they are Muslims, Jews, Christians, atheists, agnostics could learn something from Jesus' wise words. Parker and Stone were simply saying that should be the message and not a bloody horror flick that incites hatred.
Fair enough. But proof is in the pudding, and conservative Christians (who saw the movie in droves and approved) have been staunch supporters of Israel and people of Jewish faith in America.
A poisonous mixture Muslim fundamentalism, extreme Arab nationalism and blame America leftists here, in Europe, and the Middle East are the root of the current problem.
