Lord of the Rings actor John Rhys-Davies decried Islamic terrorism and political correctness in an interview with podcast king Adam Carolla Monday night.
“There is an extraordinary silence in the West,” Rhys-Davies told Carolla. “Basically, Christianity in the Middle East and in Africa is being wiped out – I mean not just ideologically but physically, and people are being enslaved and killed because they are Christians. And your country and my country (Wales) are doing nothing about it.”
“Why is it so evolved not to judge?” Carolla replied, identifying political correctness as the culprit. “This notion that we’ve evolved into a species that’s incapable of judging other groups and what they are doing, especially when it’s beheading people or setting people on fire or throwing acid in the face of schoolgirls… I like that kind of judging. That’s evolved!”
Carolla added that the U.S. “crushing Hitler” in World War II was a “good thing” that would not be possible now because Bill Maher would be “screaming” about tolerance.
“This is a unique age,” Rhys-Davies explained. “We don’t want to be judgmental. Every other age that’s come before us has believed exactly the opposite. I mean, T.S. Eliot referred to ‘the common pursuit of true judgement.’ Yes, that’s what it’s about. Getting our judgments right, getting them accurate.”
“Why can’t we get the same nations on the same page?” Carolla asked. “There’s a lot of nations that are never going to go down this road with us, but your nation, England, they’re sane. Why can’t we get them back toward sanity?”
“I think it’s an age where politicians don’t actually say what they believe,” the actor replied. “They are afraid of being judged as being partisan. Heaven forbid we should criticize people who, after all, share a different ‘value system.’

We need to stop calling it “political correctness” and start calling it by it’s proper name: “Leftist Groupthink.”
The sooner we start taking back the language and defining the terms of the debate, the better off we will be.
Good man..
Bad dates.
Sallah makes a strong argument for fighting against Islam.
Wales better step up and get it done!!
The nation of Wales has been derelict in this duty to fight Islamic cultural cleansing!
There ya go.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. If we believe in something, then we may have to take a stand to defend it. That stand may also mean personal sacrifice. It’s so easier to stand for nothing (until such time that someone who believes in something comes along and chops your head off).
John Rhys-Davis and Brigitte Bardot are pretty much the only prominent Europeans to dare to speak out against Islam. Glad to see he’s not backing down.
He was a Muslim in Raiders though. Sallah Mohammed Faisel el-Kahir.
Bttt
That was an interesting audio to listen to. Thanks
Jesse Ventura?
Samwise Gamgee, and without him Middle Earth was doomed. Frodo failed. Now if your talking about actors I don’t know of any political affiliation of Sean Astin or Jon Rhys-Davies but I like what I hear from Jon.
Man, I love this guy. One of my top 10 favorite actors, for sure.
I read recently that JRR Tolkien had intended that Samwise be the hero of the tale.
An actor does one interview and is actually not a Hollywood libtard and he is qualified to be VP ?
