Free speech. It's a terrible thing, isn't it? :)

You know this film has been defended in terms of Gibson's right to express his vision, by some very high profile Jews, like Michael Medved, David Horowitz, etc. Dennis Prager has seen it too, and he is of the mind that the film might, at least the version he saw, create some anti-semitic animus in Arab countries and in Europe, where people are not as enlightened as Americans. And In fact, changes, edits, have recently been made to the film, according to someone from ICON who I saw on TV last week.

But as I have posted before, this movie is not sacrosanct, it's a film, and like all films, it will be critiqued, and like all art, it will be seen through the eyes of the beholder. Mel Gibson is no more immune to the critics that Martin Scorcese was when he made a film about Jesus.
