The emotion I see on these threads is one of hatred for Jews (but oddly not so much the Catholics) who have dared to criticize the movie. It feels like a mob to me. I don't perceive any love in it whatsoever. It is more like a soccer game with violence about to break out should the score or calls not go the way the crowd wants. Intimidation, threats, railings, ... I don't see any good in it whatsoever.

I have no problem with anyone reading and following the book. In fact, I encourage it. Please do it.

As for the LOTR movies, they were fantasy with themes that apply to this generation. I don't recall any strife like this on those threads. I imagine if anyone had the nerve to make a movie about Muhammed these days people would die because of the strife. I hope that does not happen with this movie like it did with the Passion plays in Europe.

You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say "Baby what have you been smoking?"

I don't hate Jews and am not anti-Semitic. I fully blame the Palestinians for the lack of progress in Middle East peace. However, Christians are likely to become upset when they are falsely accused of anti-Semitism, which is what Foxman appears to be doing, and of accusing the Gospels of anti-Semitism for merely stating the fact that the Jewish establishment of Jesus' time did not like him and lobbied the Romans to put him to death. It is the injustice of Foxman's accusations excites the anger, not anti-Semitism.
