By "innocent Germans", I meant that a showing of Schindler's List today could cause a backlash on Germans who weren't even alive during the Holocaust.

The "backlash against Jews" argument is being used by the ADL as a reason not to show The Passion. Is this a valid argument by the ADL?

Has that ever happened?

Have they actually said, "don't show it"? Or have they said, "modify it"? I guess it doesn't really matter - it amounts to the same thing - censorship of something that's truly a Christian matter. And I'm of the opinion that the ADL in general should keep it's mouth shut.

But I wonder why so many on this thread don't adopt a "more Christian" attitude towards the ADL? A type of "we understand what you're saying...you have a right to be concerned....is there something we could do to allay your fears but still maintain what we believe to be a historical truth?"

I don't see that attitude either on the part of Gibson or his supporters. What I do see is a more "us against them" attitude (and it's not entirely unjustified). But is it Christian?
