- CC440, on 05/01/2008, -15/+94Regardless of how a Christian views this tale this is the correct story of Jesus as told in the Muslim faith. Think about how we view Moses, the analogy is the same. Jews view him as their savior, we view him as a prophet. There's really nothing for an educated and reasonable person to get riled up about here.
- reflex768, on 05/01/2008, -39/+112I think the Iranians ought to exercise greater religious sensitivity before producing such inflammatory blasphemy. No doubt scores of Muslim embassies will be burned down by enraged Christian mobs because of this producer's culturally arrogant actions. Or maybe not. :-)
- falese, on 05/01/2008, -4/+75who cares. why can't we all just get along? i'm sure jesus and muhammad would probably get along famously.
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -11/+55so how come muslims are okay with using an actor to play jesus, but filming a mohammad or drawing a cartoon is blasphemous
- omnikitty, on 05/01/2008, -9/+41I think this film is a fantastic idea. Here is an opportunity for Christians to make ties with Muslims and vice versa. We do not agree on Christ's divinity but we do agree on His being an important factor in the Lord's plan. (Savior vs Prophet). We may not agree 100% but learning from each other allows us to further understand one another and base our connections on that, not our prejudices or stereotypes. As for sensitivity... I wonder what they'd say about Americans and THEIR sensitivity.
- bluvapor, on 05/01/2008, -5/+36I'm Iranian, and I believe in Jesus.
- Borgcube636, on 05/01/2008, -20/+47It appears you do not understand much religious history. Islam believes that Jesus was a great prophet, and they think very highly of him. In fact, Jesus is mentioned many times in the Quran, and is part of Islams history. It is not religious blasphemy or mockery.
- AzureRise, on 05/01/2008, -3/+29It was a joke referring to over reactions of things like showing pictures of Muhammad. You completely missed the point.
- Vet4Peace, on 05/01/2008, -2/+28Well, this is sure to encourage an eloquent and well-reasoned dialogue between faiths...
- Borgcube636, on 05/01/2008, -4/+28This is NOT religious blasphemy or mockery. Islam believes that Jesus was a great prophet, and they think very highly of him. In fact, Jesus is mentioned many times in the Quran, and is part of Islams history.
- Teburninator, on 05/01/2008, -9/+29Oh, I see what you did thar.
- idavidtang, on 05/01/2008, -1/+21or the Son of God.
- Maevirko69, on 05/01/2008, -0/+20Jews don't view Moses as their savior. They view him as a prophet.
- jmpeagle, on 05/01/2008, -1/+19so do all Muslims...they just don't believe he is the greatest prophet
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -1/+18you idiot. prophet Muhammad spoke very highly of Jesus when he was alive.
- dosapede, on 05/01/2008, -5/+22Obviously nothing supernatural exists. If we find that something does exist, it must be, by definition, natural in some sense.
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -9/+26are you serious? you don't have to prove a negative. if there's no proof of something, the onus is on you to prove it, not for me to prove it's nonexistence.
- 180andback, on 05/01/2008, -2/+19Yeah, what kind of an ***** would make a movie based on his religion? Other than Mel Gibson?
- ZenMojo, on 05/01/2008, -1/+17Similar to facetious except with extra feces.
- ff4marvel, on 05/01/2008, -0/+15Iranian ! = Muslim
- notoneofus, on 05/01/2008, -0/+14No, your comment is ridiculous.
- jordanmerle, on 05/01/2008, -1/+15he was "like a son" though. God taught him how to throw a football.
- zelah, on 05/01/2008, -0/+14He meant they view Moses as their savior, which is not correct either. They're still waiting for the messiah.
- blackjack75, on 05/01/2008, -4/+16I prefer the roman version of the story:
"Jewish leader seems to claim he has rights over our conquered territory. Nailed him. Delusional followers claim he came back from the dead. If this BS works for the peasants, then 300 years from now we will make theirs our official religion and spread it over our world." - BigCheezy, on 05/01/2008, -1/+13There is (should be, theologically) no difference between a Christian's and Jew's view of Moses, sorry.
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -0/+12prove that dragons don't exist.
- irvin666, on 05/01/2008, -7/+19Thank gawd I don't take religion seriously.
- pintomp3, on 05/01/2008, -2/+131. start a religion
2. ?????
3. prophet! - bokep, on 05/01/2008, -0/+11This is their version of the story, no need to get riled up or anything... I don't think many diggers are devout Christians who live by the bible anyways ;).
- ZenMojo, on 05/01/2008, -3/+14Drawing mohammed with a bomb in his turban is blasphemous. Although if you have no problem with Jesus Christ going down on a ten year old to mock Catholicism, then I'm sure dialogue will open up immediately.
- blackjack75, on 05/01/2008, -0/+9Damn, how lucky you are. There is just one truth. And it just HAPPENS to be the one you were born in.
You probably ate lucky charms as a kid. - blackjack75, on 05/01/2008, -0/+9Supernatural is like magic. What we call "real magic" is the one that actually doesn't exist. The one that exists... we call it "tricks".
- Jan33, on 05/01/2008, -0/+9Willie Nelson works for Iran now?
- pintomp3, on 05/01/2008, -0/+9you can know the history and tenants of religions without believing them.
- MASH007, on 05/01/2008, -4/+13Its because Muslims believe Muhammad should not be drawn or depicted because it could lead to people idolizing him. (Just like some people idolize pictures or sculptures of Jesus.)
Muslims would also do the same for Jesus, except he's already depicted everywhere! - stonedgeek, on 05/01/2008, -2/+11"I pray for Christians. They've been misled. They will realize one day the true story,"
Sounds like what ignorant christians say about muslims when they're trying to sound tolerant. - inactive, on 05/01/2008, -1/+10How do you think that poor teddy bear Muhammad must feel in all this?!
- strummy, on 05/01/2008, -3/+11i'm still waiting to see The Passion Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster
- Asianwaste, on 05/01/2008, -1/+9They would work together, use their powers, and fly around the galaxy defending Earth from the invading forces of the Evil Lord Xenu.
- falese, on 05/01/2008, -1/+9booo hisssss, you are ill informed my friend.
it must be time for karna to go night night, he's probably cranky and not thinking straight - MrShlee, on 05/01/2008, -1/+9It is important to understand fundamentalism is bad and your anger is directed at them..
Christian or muslim - cnot3, on 05/01/2008, -1/+9Just make sure you don't draw a cartoon of them together.
- inactive, on 05/01/2008, -7/+15"The message implies that Christianity, a faith of 2 billion people and the core of much Western philosophy, is based on a falsehood."
No *****, and so is every other religion... - MrShlee, on 05/01/2008, -1/+9I have a whole bookshelf. Currently reading "Love All The People"
I recommend it. - ogore, on 05/01/2008, -2/+9The muslim view of jesus is probably more historically correct than Christianity
- pintomp3, on 05/01/2008, -1/+8that doesn't make much sense. muhammad doesn't have a role in christiantiy, jesus has a role in islam. that would be like jews making a movie about jesus.
- bindermichi, on 05/01/2008, -2/+9The funny thing is: Jesus was a jew and more or less founded a new sect within the jewish society... mohammed regarded him as a prophet and the religion founded on his ideas incorporated many of the christian and jewish values... so in the end we're all jews in some way ^_^
- slahser, on 05/01/2008, -6/+13Religion? Keep us out of it.
- pdeco, on 05/01/2008, -4/+11Educated and reasonable, you're asking for far to much.
- Ebulating, on 05/01/2008, -1/+8Honeslty, Islam feels like Mohamed just stole wholesale from the surrounding Judeo-Christian myths and then used it as justification for Conquest.
Traditional Nomadic belief systems do not adapt well to non-nomadic life. -
