Mel Gibson's movie "The Passion of the Christ" depicts the last twelve hours before the crucifixion, it moves the heart of many Arabs. And even bring many Muslims in the Middle East to tears. Long queue was found in front of movie theaters in the Jordanian capital Amman.
In some school, teachers take pupils to watch the movie. Parts of the film are also shown on Arabian TV followed by panel discussions with Muslim scholars.

Most evangelicals regard the movie as a unique opportunity to explain the meaning of Christ's suffering to Non-Christians.
