Why would you think that?

As I said above, 1.) I've heard of other incidents like that which ended up being perpetrated by Jewish teens, and 2.) If you were dealing with adult anti-semites of the skin-head variety, they might have tried to burn the place down.

I saw The Passion of the Christ tonight. There's not the slightest thing anti-Semitic about it and I certainly felt not the least anger toward "the Jews" afterwards.

My reaction as a Christian was very personal, as I believe Mel Gibson's reason for making the film was. We Christians are so anquished with apologizing for our sins with every stroke of the lash, that we don't really think about everyone in the film being Jewish or Italian....

I'm not surprised that is your perspective. I wouldn't expect you to see the movie the same way a Jew would.
