What I don't like about the comment is that requiring Christians to condemn it is like asking them to apologize for it.

I don't see it that way at all, and his comparison with the Islamic situation is entirely appropriate. Christians have the same moral obligation to refute charges of anti-Semitism in this matter as Muslims have a responsibility to inform a fearful world about the true nature of the mainstream faith. For that matter, I think Mel Gibson has an obligation to clear the air about the difference between his ethnic beliefs and those of his wack-job father.

So, you are in support of extending guilt down family lines. Guilt through the generations. Mel's father's guilt becomes Mel's responsibility.

See, in your ethos, blaming Jews today for their ancestor's sins is possible. In mine, where Mel is -not- responsible in any way for what his father does, it's not.
