“The Passion of The Christ” is not an anti-Semitic movie. Instead, this outstanding film is pro-Jesus Christ. Moreover, no group should try to bully people into not seeing this movie or any other movie. Anyone claiming “The Passion of The Christ” is anti-Semitic is as ludicrous as me claiming the next Holocaust movie, television series, play, book, lecture or college course is anti-German or anti-Roman Catholic. Would it make those claiming the movie is anti-Semitic feel any better if Jesus Christ was crucified in Antarctica? Finally, the violence in the movie is realistic because Jesus Christ’s last 12 hours before his murder were filled with beatings and torture.
