Don't ask me, I still haven't figured out why Abe Foxman is making such a fuss over this movie. The reasons he has provided so far seem ludicrous to me. He's either using this controversy as a fund raising vehicle for the ADL, or perhaps he is just simply an anti-Christian bigot.

I still haven't figured out why Abe Foxman is making such a fuss over this movie.

1. Foxman and Co. make their money by scaring Jews into believing that everyone on the right is anti-Semitic.

2. Historical results of Passion Plays throughout European history.

3. Foxman and Co. are in the employ of Mr. Gibson to generate publicity for the movie. Granted, a bit far-fetched, but given the rather predictable results of Foxman's whining, some consideration should be given to this theory.

The reasons he has provided so far seem ludicrous to me.

Explain what seems ludicrous. Maybe I can help you understand something you don't.

Foxman is first and foremost a liberal with their innate distast for Judeo-Christian values and traditions. His personal history (he survived the Holocaust being hidden by a Christian family and then had to be "rescued" from that family by his father who "deprogrammed" him) might have something to do with his views.

Mr. Foxman sounds like a guy named Saul that lived in the 1st century and went around trying to stamp out this Jewish movement that believed that Yeshuah was the Messiah. Of course we know what happened to this guy, I read his letters quite often. So, do you think it's possible that one day soon Mr. Foxman may have the same thing happen to him. He won't be converting to something, he'll be embracing the faith of his forefathers, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Moses, David, and Solomon. He'll be acknowledging that the prophets were correct, that the messiah must suffer and die, the messiah would become the ultimate sacrificial lamb. That he would rise; that he would be called Wonderful, Counselor, Prince of Peace, the Mighty God, Everlasting Father. Yes, Mr. Foxman, that's who Jesus was. I converted to trust the promises made to you forefathers. I believe all that was promised to them, and to you.

FUNDRAISING = MONEY.
