Thank you! I always wondered how to spell Brew-ha ha!

Professor John K. Roth, a prominent Holocaust scholar at Claremont-McKenna College, testified to his own deep Christian faith. At the same time, he acknowledged that while the Holocaust could not be solely blamed on Christianity, it was a "necessary condition" for the tragedy of the Shoah.

What an ass.

The panelists also agreed with a questioner that while the film would hardly inflame scholars of Christianity, the impact might be quite different on the man in the European or Arab street.

Elitism at its very worst. Frankly, they wouldn't know the attitudes on the "street" because they don't stoop so low (in their minds) as to go out on the "street." Fact is, we out here on the "street" are much more moral and civilized than these amoral ivory tower punks ever thought about being.

"We don’t even know whether Jesus was actually crucified . . "

Hmmm.

He's wrong. The Nazis suppressed Christians too and had a sort of Germanic/Norse paganism as their guiding ideology. Reality is that Europe has hated Jews for a long time, Christianity or no.

Also the Germans kind of go nuts every 3rd generation or so and start a war or invasion.

"the shortest and perhaps most practical suggestion of all is: "Don’t forget that it isn’t always about the Jews.""

How refreshing. I have been astounded at the response to this movie about Jesus. An interview I heard yest. was simply over the top. Why can't they "live and let live?" I do not think anyone actually expects violence against Jews from moviegoers! For some reason, some "elite opinion issuers" including non-Jews decided to make a big issue out of the fact that Gibson would have the nerve to make a movie like this, in this day and age.

When there is an anti-Christian film, or disgusting pictorial of a Christian symbol as "art", these "elite opinion issuers" tell Christians to "get over it: it is just free speech."

The hysteria has reached such a fever pitch lately, that I just have to laugh. The "elite opinion issuers" have upped the rhetoric because they have so far failed to stop the movie or run Gibson out of town on a rail . . . Funny - and sad too . . .

"One or two centuries from now, he said, Jewish scholars might well look back on their people’s fate in the 20th century and see in it an analogy to Jesus’ progression from crucifixion to resurrection."

Unless Israel takes some decisive action, one or two centuries from now....Jews will not have a homeland, and europe will be barren of jews. America is/will be thier only refuge.

It's amazing there would be a uproar about this while genocide-by-attrition is actively taking place in Israel itself. Just amazing stupidity. Banal. Ridiculous. Now Sharon is tearing down some of the wall. Welcome death with open arms Sharon.

All the conspiracy theories about jews ruling the world, media, and wanting a world government just don't fly anymore.
