Controversial Christ movies passes censorship

The new move "The Passion of Christ" directed by Gil Mebson passed the Jeruselem government censored untouched and was authorised for screening today.

Consersative Jewish groups said they will boycott the movie which seemed to be very popular with local Christians and Arabs. Cardinal Augustus Brown in Rome released a press release said "I've seen much worse portrayals of the Jews in local Arab productions. It's a bloody movie, but the Romans at the time were not nice people. It's ironic I'm in Rome for this statement".

Local American Jews (settlers) protested in the streets calling for a ban while locals noticably stayed away. The Queen issued she will not intervene in this matter.

OOC:ohhhhh how expected

IC:the GEM has a large proportion of Christians and Jews, the thing is they all realise the text in the bible is just that, many Jewish and christian leaders have seen the film and see it as fairly accurate, but preach to their flock that whne they see it they should not believe that all jews were to blame, and that is was the Jewish High council over 2000 years ago, "Forgive but Never Forget" is the stance taken by all religious leaders in the GEM

I say let the people who want to watch it watch it if some one doseint want to watch it then they souldint watch it and that doseint mean they have to ruin the fun for every one right ?

thares always going to be some one who will be offended .

Movie theaters were packed today as Christians and Moslems watched Gil Melson's "The Passion of Christ" which was available in all non-Jewish run venues. No Jewish venues were screen the movie except for the "Jewish Reform Group" who are considered liberal Jews by all.

Spokesman for the Jeruselem Movie Group (JMG) said "It's going be be a good year if more movies like this are made." It was noted the owner of JMG was a Catholic.

Loud protests by mainly American Jews tried to block people from entering JMG theatres, but police stopped them from hindering business. Some Jews say the movie and here are their comments (anonymous)

"It was much balanced than I thought. My Rabbi lied to me"

"Typical Christian bagging of Jews killing Christ" (from a noted conservative)

"Those Romans were bad people" (child of 10)

How much would it cost to play it in Central Facehuggeria? Our people have been hungering for a non pornographic movie for a long time.
