I saw a news story a few minutes ago that said that Jewish pickets at a New York movie theater were confronting Christians determined to see "the Passion of the Christ." I really hate to see this kind of stuff.

Are you saying that Gibson's film has actually fostered acts of anti-Christianism?!?

That is so richly ironic!

I don't know if you're arguing with me or disagreeing with me but sure, the semi-hysterical attacks by Foxman et al were unnecessary, unwise and clearly Christophobic. Foxman (and others) tried to say they weren't condemning the gospels themselves as anti-Semitic--only a literal interpretation of them. But it was clear they didn't want the gospels on screen in any form that suggested that the Jewish elite bore any responsibility at all for the death of Christ.
