Why was Mel Gibson asked to apologize?

Question

over the passion of the christ, he was merely portraying the views of many people in an honest manner, whereas prophet(pbuh) cartoons were exaggerations with no factual evidence

so much for freedom of speech, there have been people jailed in the US and France for debating the figures of the Holocaust death toll

yo yo mama, christians have been responsible for worse things, lets not compare atrocities(I will surely win, God-willing) because there are good and bad in every religion

Answer 1

I agree. Political correctness is pathetic.

Answer 2

See, what people seem to be missing is that it was NATIONAL NEWS. All over the country, we saw Jewish people of power protesting Mel's film. But why? Is this a new story?

See, THE PASSION became number one because people wanted a good film about Jesus. Funny how Hollywood never did produce one. Why? Ever take a good look at the last names of almost every power broker in Hollywood? They are all Jewish. Last time I checked, Jews resented the notion that they butchered their own Messiah.

My point is, Mel was persecuted. This was all over the country and on TV. Why don't people remember this? He even had to delete a scene from the movie because someone shot a bullet over the set while filming. Mel said if he put that scene in, the Jews would have killed him. It's the scene where pilate says to the Jewish mob, do you take this man's blood upon you, and your children and your children's children...etc. Essentially, it was the key point where Messiah was taken from the Jews and given to the rest of the world instead: no longer have to be Jewish blood to be good with God.

If Mel was persecuted, don't you think the man has the right to be a little pissed off at that? Probably why he was drinking in the first place! And don't you think a drunken man is just going to ... say it!!

Cut Mel a break. He's the good guy. He just did something "stupid" but...really, it was not his fault at all. It was Jewish prejudice against Christianity that caused the whole soap opera in the first place. Let's be honest people, is Mel really at fault here?

Answer 3

I think the Passion was emotionally powerful and a tremendouse service to Christians... I owuld have changes a few things but it was wonderful overall

for acurasy "the gospel of John" bythe visual Bible is a better choice and is far less violent being PG13 and more suitable for grade school and many others

both are great

there is a freedom of expression.. there is a freedom of religion... there is no constitutional freedom form being offended...sorry

Answer 4

I somewhat do not comprehend the position you're even getting this crap. maximum folk attacked Mel Gibson because of his anti-semiticism. His flow (activity of the Christ) did not make any Jews cover. They weren't persecuted. American Christians regularly are not anti-semitic. i'm particular you'll locate some who're, yet common maximum help Israel and the Jews. furnish data that Jews, regularly, are being mistreated in basic terms because they are Jews. I stay 10 minutes from a Jewish community right here and that i particular do not see any persecution. data "They" salute each and every guy who speaks out adversarial to jews. i do not truly care if maximum Israelis hate the country. it is no longer my subject... it is their's. yet each and every thing you've revealed right here so a concepts is bullshit. And it makes me suspect you're a troll.... because i comprehend those who stay in Israel and they have not in any respect suggested something remotely on the point of the crap you're spewing right here

Answer 5

You believe Islamist lies and nonsense. No one here has ever been jailed in the US for debating the holocaust death toll. Lunatics do it here all the time. And no one here has ever burned a church or murdered clergy over cartoons. So much for "Islam is peace." And we have a big hole in the ground in NYC and 3000 dead as all the evidence we need of what your prophet has brought.

Answer 6

Who's been jailed for debating the holocaust? This is news to me!
I think Mel should have said that he was miss understood and didn't say the Jews are responsible for all the wars- he was talking about O.J. Simpson and he said the Juice! I think it would have worked with the whole slurring thing! lol

Answer 7

He was asked to apologize because the movie was apparently offensive to some groups. Yet nobody who makes movies or televison shows that portray Christians in a negative manner is ever asked to apologize. Seems to me there is a double standard in this world.

Answer 8

You make a good point friend. The issues is anti-Christianity is the last acceptable bigotry.

Take any anti-Christian article. Remove all the words that refer to Christians and plug in any other "group." Gay, Jew, Muslim, African American, Women - there'd be hell to pay.

The pope quotes a bishop of centuries ago, and the Muslims go nuts. They demand an apology while burning the pope in effigy. And that's ok?

Double standard.

Answer 9

Because people don't like the reality of it. You can tell the story but you have to fluff it so people won't be offended. Stupid. Jesus suffered that's the truth of it, he bled and he was in pain and that's not a nice sight. I loved the movie and would have laughed at them when they asked me to apologize.

Answer 10

I don't know. I believe that he had every right to say what he said. It is a free country, or so the government says.

Answer 11

I think it was a formality, to protect his image. He's supposed to be such a fine upstanding citizen and not allowed to act human apparently!
