I see your point. "The Passion", through radical Muslim eyes:

1. Once upon a time, the decadent West forcibly occupied part of the Middle East.
2. God sent a prophet to convey His word.
3. The faithless westerners weren't interested in virtue, and were annoyed by his presence.
4. The conniving Jews saw their chance, and had God's prophet butchered.
5. Just goes to show that a) the Jews are evil, and b) the West is evil.

You can see why a Muslim who sees "The Passion" isn't going to instantly turn into a Methodist.

4. The conniving Jews saw their chance, and had God's prophet butchered.

That's not what "Radical Muslim eyes" see, because they don't believe Jesus was crucified.

You put that extremely well.
