Gibson Warns Film May Spur 'Infectious Pro-Semitism'
by Scott Ott

(2004-02-17) -- Mel Gibson, producer of the controversial new film The Passion of the Christ, told ABC's Diane Sawyer that his movie may spark "a backlash of infectious pro-Semitism."

"Jesus was a Jew," said Mr. Gibson, "And this movie may inspire people to love Jesus. I know that pro-Semitism is shocking, but that's the risk you take when you tell the gospel story."

Mr. Gibson said he considered including the following warning on ads for the film:

"The Passion of the Christ contains pro-Semitic content and may lead you to follow the world's most famous Jew, and to want to share His saving love with other people...including Jews."
