""One big difference is that "Last Temptation" was not created to insult or defame Jesus, though a few thought it did.

Mel Gibson's Jesus movie was widely criticized for antisemitism. Again, there were some protests, but nobody seems to have been hurt.

In other words, nothing like the scenes in Egypt and Libya yesterday.

No, the BIG difference is that Islam forbids the production of images of their prophet. To add to that the depiction of him as being involved in obscene sexual practises, would represent the very worst example of blasphemy to its followers.

It strikes at the very heart of what they believe, and plays right into the hands of Islamic extremists, because it tends to push moderates in their direction.

Rev Jones should be kicked out of his church, stripped of his ministry and jailed for a very long time.
