Default Re: OT: The Passion of the Christ movie

Even though it's a non Muslim movie, the government of Iran wants the movie shown in Tehran because of it's perceived "anti Jewish" message. Man is that wrong on so many levels. Not only are they not understanding the basic premise of Christianity, but are using an event out of antiquity to condem another religious group.
I vaguely remeber a movie from the 70's called Muhammed: Messenger of God. The Muslims freaked because they thought it pictured Muhammed (a big no-no) but it was a movie from his point of view (and camera too). There were riots, movie theaters were burned with doors locked and people inside, Fatwah's issued. And like a big Three's Company episode; all a big misunderstanding! No real point to this second part except; Man, religion is kooky.

I pray to the Red Star of the Solar Empire.
Always trust your car to the men with the Red Star
