Mel Gibson is a public figure on his personal crusade to make a monumental religious movie. His life is open to scrutiny.

It's one thing to attack Gibson's behavior. It's another to cast aspersions on a religion.

I believe that less than five percent of Americans are Jewish. Is that a "fringe" religion too, now? How about Buddists? Or the Mennonites? Or the Mormons? Are the "antiquated" religions?

Scrutinize Gibson for shady business dealings or intemperate statements (if they, in fact, exist). But don't single out a religion for attack.

I'm rebuking Hutton Gibson's Holocaust Denial and antisemitism. I'm criticizing Mel Gibson for not rebuking and correcting him.

You tell me. Tell me what you really believe about the Jews. Share your deepest feelings. Get it all out.

You tell me. Share your pain.

"Intemperate statements" ? ...
A denial

I don't consider Holocaust Denial and Antisemitism to be a religion but if it were I would single it out for attack.

Only a few months ago they said that Arnold Schwarzenegger father was a Nazi; now they are saying the same thing about Mel Gibson's father. The label Nazi is so handy, they dispense of it so freely, and without any merit to any one that they are trying to destroy. Unfortunately, many idiots in our country believe these defamations. How many big Hollywood Christian actor and actress came out in public and declared that they will go to see Mel Gibson’s movie? Very few! The reason is simple they are being intimidated. Here we have majority Christian country scared sh*tless from a minority godless Hollyweird. The reason of these godless idiots are very effective is simple, they are relentless in pursuing their enemy. If some organization on the Christian side would keep list of Mel Gibson antagonists, and demand boycotting their work, they would learn very fast not mess with the Christians.

The religion of Catholics -- real Catholics, not the Mel Gibson DIY kind, but the kind in union with the Pope of Rome, is singled out for some of the most venomous attacks imaginable on practically every FR thread dealing with religion almost every day.

I, personally, have been informed that to be an obedient Catholic is to be a child-molester; that is, I have been told that I am a pedophile on account of my religion. (This would come as a shock to my wife and children, as well as to my confessor ... as well as to God.) The particular poster who said that is banned at the moment, but not for that offense.

Maybe you should start by opposing that little FR tradition.
