Agreed it is a piece of fiction.   The local news folks have been giving this a lot of coverage, especially trying to dig up any potential controversy.  They have interviewed Rabbi after Rabbi, at least the ones who have seen the previews, and none seem to be concerned about any wave of anti-Semiti

Wednesday Gibson's Passion will come out and there are some who are worried that it will cause anti-Semitic attacks. The more I think about it the more I know that it will not. Why?
