"Arameic" = Aramaic.... (D-OH!! D-OH!!))

Sorry, but Aramaic is much closer to Hebrew than Arabic. In fact, portions of the Haftorah books of Ezra and Daniel were written in Aramaic, as well as almost all of the Talmud and the Jewish Mourner's Kaddish (entirely in Aramaic).

I find it somewhat amusing that the only people who may be reasonably conversant with Aramaic are rabbis and Talmudic scholars, but even most non-observant Jews are familiar with the Mourner's Kaddish.

OTOH, no matter how the film is received, I can state unequivocally, that, with only one or two exceptions, I have always been treated with kindness by Christian Americans (I suspect it may be a mutual respect kind of thing). I firmly believe that will not change with the release of Mr. Gibson's film.
