Default Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

Groups that are trying to protect against racism and stuff like that are usually over-sensitive and some actually become prejudiced toward their race (as in, favorably; like this black guys was joking and said some racist remark [toward whites] and another white guy, joking along, said a racist joke [toward blacks]; white guy was sued; black guy went scotch free).

Anyway, the people against anti-Semitism are overly sensitive and probably exaggerating tons of stuff. It says in the CNN article, only one guy from ADL has actually seen the movie. And there have been several Jewish and Jewish supporters who say the movie is great (also in the CNN article).

Although you may not believe Gibson is being malicious or purposefully slaming Jews, you are condemning the movie before you've seen. See it before you start calling it anti-semitic. If you refuse to see it, don't bash it. It may very well be anti-semitic, but you have no right to call it that if you haven't seen it.

You say you're basing your opinion off of sources you've read, but you obviously haven't read enough. There are plenty of people who say it isn't anti-semitic, probably even more than what you can find considering that controversy sells more papers than not.

Listen to both sides of the argument. Don't base your opinion by just listening or paying attention to one side. Most of all: see the movie.
