Religious Group Seeks Reparations for Mel Gibson's 2006 Tirade

California Jews Shake Down Mel Gibson For Reparations

Does it ever end? Get a load of this…

Congregation Beth Shalom in Corona, California has sent Mel Gibson a letter in hopes of guilting him into forking over some cash to bail them out of a bad investment they made on their local synagogue. Apparently, the group took out a giant loan that they can’t afford to pay back and are now facing foreclosure.

In a move reminiscent of something out of post-war Germany, the Southern California synagogue is looking to Gibson as though he should pay some kind of “Holocaust” style reparations for the so-called anti-Semitic tirade he made back in 2006.

I guess it’s not enough that Mel has already spent millions of dollars contributing to Jewish charities, including $5 million to the Jewish Cedars Sinai Hospital. Not to mention getting down on his knees and apologizing to the Jewish community on numerous occassions—only to have his career railroaded anyway.

Entertainment website TMZ apparently got their hands on the letter. Here’s what it says:

“Our proposal to you, Mr. Gibson, is since you have been cited as an Anti-Semitic, and have denied those allegations, what better way to prove to all your fans and the nay Sayers — than to endorse and help raise funds for our cause — SOS, Save Our Synagogue…“Mr. Gibson, we offer you to be a Mensch and make a sizable contribution to our cause.”

That’s what you call CHUTZPAH, folks!

Congregation Beth Shalom is affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism and, as a Reform synagogue, strives to help Jews and their families live Jewish lives, rich in the traditions of our people.

      Shameless chutzpah: Could it work for Muslims Too?

      As an American Muslim, I am a great admirer of the Jewish people, especially American Jews. I think we Muslims can learn a lot from the way Jews have made their presence felt in American society.

      For example, I marvel at the chutzpah of the Beth Shalom Temple in Corona, California, which recently tried to shake down Mel Gibson.

      And so…if shameless chutzpah pays off for Jews, why not for Muslims too? How about:

      Dear Bill Maher,

      Our proposal to you, since you have been cited as an Islamophobe, is to send us a million dollars and publicly apologize for calling Muslims a bunch of violent extremists. If you don’t do this, we’ll come and blow you up.

      Sincerely,
      Dr. Kevin Barrett

      And since just about all of the wealthy and powerful individuals and institutions in America are islamophobic, we should be able to shake them all down.

      Then we’ll take the billions we’ve raised, and buy up the media. We’ll make sure that Muslims get the majority of key posts, and that a pro-Muslim, anti-Zionist point of view completely dominates the airwaves and headlines.

      And we’ll use the rest of the money to buy up Congress and the presidency.

      And then if anybody even MENTIONS the fact that Muslims have bought up the media and staffed it with a wildly disproportionate number of Muslims and anti-Zionists…and that anti-Zionist Muslims have bought the federal government via bribery…we’ll just silence them by calling them Islamophobes.

      Now THAT would be al-chutzpah al-akbar.
