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

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.

I'm not sure either, but I'm pointing out that thus far, to my knowledge Gibson's film hasn't caused any Jews to be accosted in the street. Apparently, however, it has caused that to happen to Christians, said Christians being accosted by the very people who claim to be aggrieved by this movie...and when I say "very people," I mean individuals, not a people group.

I'm sorry if I have offended you, but my sense of humor is based on a fine sense of the ridiculous, and this triggered it in a big way.
