Anti-Semitism Not Being Created by 'Passion,' Says Study

from IMDb (http://us.imdb.com/StudioBrief/#3):

A U.S. survey conducted by the Institute for Jewish and Community Research has concluded that fewer than two percent of those who are familiar with Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ blame Jews for the crucifixion. In an interview with CNSNews.com, a unit of the conservative Media Research Center, Dr. Gary Tobin, president of the IJCR, commented: "So far The Passion of the Christ is not producing any significant anti-Jewish backlash. ... The film and perhaps even more, the discussions about the film, are having something of a positive effect, which is good news. Some Jewish and Christian leaders have been understandably worried that the film might unleash a wave of hostility toward Jews and even erode the constructive effects of Vatican II. But this does not appear to be happening."

Unfortunately, that's the entire story...no further details. I don't know if the IJCR study is right or not (and, of course, it doesn't take into account what may happen in other countries), but I thought it was worth noting.
