What angers me is the typical, leftist mantra of "if just one person misunderstands the meaning, then it must not be allowed"... Typical... Political correctness gone wild.
I have no doubt that there will be some people who claim the movie proves their preconceived notions that the Jews killed Jesus... Heck, I was called a "Jesus Killer," but I can't really blame Mel, since it happened about 35 years ago...
Given this sort of "reasoning" (not a good term for what they do, since there's no "reason" in their minds at all), then all matches, or fire, for that matter, should be outlawed, since people might get burned. Or knives... Or guns (oops! They're going after than one!).

Excellent point. From what I've seen so far, there has been 1 church signboard that was changed within a day, and 12 hostile emails to the Jewish Anti-defamation league to point to as potential fallout from this movie...and at least one of those dozen emails looked very suspiciously like an Islamic viewpoint and not a Christian one.
But the media is sure to blame Gibson for absolutely ALL anti-semitic activities over the next few months.
