| An endorsement Mel Gibson didn’t need ... |
| 2004-03-20 |
| Not EFL Arafat aid compares The Passion of the Christ to current Palestinian suffering Yasser Arafat watched Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ on Saturday, and afterward a top aide compared Jesus’ pain during crucifixion to the suffering of Palestinians in the conflict with Israel. Damn you! Now I know how John Kerry must feel after scoring the endorsements of two Third World dictators and a terrorist fellater! Nabil Abu Rdeneh, one of Arafat’s closest advisers, watched the film along with the veteran Palestinian leader and a group of American and European Christians and Palestinian Muslim clerics. ’Course, Islam has its own problem with the movie ... instead of God having "love for humankind" and so sending His only begotten Son to die for our sins, their Allah shuffled "Isa" off to paradise and left a random ’bystander’ to die in his place ... and somehow people complain about the God seen in the movie. *snort* "The Palestinians are still daily being exposed to the kind of pain Jesus was exposed to during his crucifixion," Abu Rdeneh said in a statement after he viewed the movie. How many times can I debunk thee? Let me count the ways ... For the record, I won’t go back on my opinion of the movie and what it’s doing - overwhelmingly, almost unanimously positive - but wait til the media gets word of this ... P.S. Didn’t it just pass The Matrix: Reloaded as the biggest R-rated movie of all time? P.P.S. The typo in the title is from the original article. |
