Um, Jesus? Are those highlights?
The Persian Passion.

Perhaps as part of trying to find common ground, Iranian filmmaker Nader Talebzadeh’s Jesus is as blonde as anyone’s, but the ideas behind his film pretty much undercut the Jesus of the Bible, who insisted on his deity, authority, death, and resurrection.
Jesus, the Spirit of God won an award at the 2007 Religion Today Film Festival in Italy.

Maybe the Christian world should respond in the same manner as set by muslims last year when cartoons were published characterizing their prophet and god in a manner that was offensive to them... how many Christian churches were burned??? How many Christians who had nothing to do with the cartoons published in far away countries were attacked and some of the killed??? How many publishers still fear for their lives??? Oh, I forgot..we don't behave in such a barbaric way... And who was it that gave an award to the movie???
I'm really irritated and fed up with the double standard set for behaviour and human rights for we Christians and muslim believers.

Nader Talebzadeh"s movie in which in which, as in the Quoran, God reportedly saves Jesus from death and takes him straight to heaven has captured the Biblical mystery of the cross much better than Mel Gibson"s "The Passion of the Christ" and contemporary Christian thinking. Bravo Nader!

Linda you are an ignorant person. Why would you respond in barbaric tone when the Nader is only presenting Jesus as in the Quran? He is presenting Jesus as a Beautiful MAN and a Messenger.
PROVE that Jesus is God or Son of GOD? God is the ONE and ONLY. God has NO sons. God has NO Father. God has NO mother. God does not die. So what are you angry about? Do you know how much ISLAM value JESUS? Do you know anything about Islam? READ instead being ignorant and learn.
What is wrong of God saving Jesus? What is wrong of God taking Jesus to heaven to rest until the day Jesus is sent back to earth?
Each time someone builds a statue of Marry or Jesus and pray to the statue, you are only making Jesus sad. You are shaming this beautiful messenger in the eyes of God. And think about it, Jesus done NOTHING wrong, but fools like you are making him sad.
