No. The worst case is that they will misinterpet the whole thing and use it as an excuse to hate Christians and Jews both more, and try to launch even more Jihads against us.

Note what I said - they are watching the same thing you and I are watching - but seeing something quite different. The film is really just a single snapshot out of Christ's life, not his entire story, although it has some flashbacks.
