Curious here, trying learn what exactly all this uprising is about.

What does it mean a "practicing Jew"? What do "practicing Jew" believe the future to be?

Personally, I am most thankful that this nation was founded upon "Freedom of religion" and believe that it is in the best interest of all citizens that right be protected for all.

I am Christian and study from the Old and the New.

Many things....there is justifiable concern on the part of some Christians that certain Jews see fit to comment on a film which accurately reflects part of their bible. There is also concern that Mr. Gibson Sr. was deceived into revealing the truth about himself. Also, there are concerns that Mel Gibson is being tarred with the "anti-Semite" brush.

This is sort of like the man who came to Rabbi Akiva and asked to be taught the entire Torah while standing on one foot, but....

A practicing Jew, IMHO, is one who accepts upon him/herself the obligations of the Torah. For us, the future is that the Messiah will come speedily in our days.
