I guess as a Brit and not a very religious one at that I simply dont understand the offence taken to it. As far as I can tell theres little in the film that either wasnt already in the Bible or that hasnt been written/spoken before rather than come directly from the pen of Mel Gibson and it seems that a lot of the main protest was the effect that any inaccuracies and such a graphic storytelling of Jesus' torture by Jewish soldiers could have on attitudes towards Jews even now.
I understand some of the "concerns" but I fail to see how any of it was anti - Semitic. Maybe I'm overlooking a lot, I dont know.
