The Catholic group Agrif (General Alliance Against Racism and for Respect of French and Christian Identity) seeks to ban the Oliviero Toscani-designed poster for the film "Amen"because it merges the Nazi swastika with the Catholic crucifix. It considers the design an affront to their faith because it mixed "the symbol of absolute hatred and the symbol of absolute love". But Constantin Costa-Gavras, the film's director claims that they can't have a monopoly on Christ. The court is still to decide the case.
