Ya know there was something about that Dwarf Fighter in LOTR that I liked. Now i realise what it is, he is a proud and determined fighter that never backed down and surpisingly he is the same in real life. I am so glad that someone in the Hollywood realm has finally said something against Islam. Islam is a vile, putrid and evil cult that only wants to take over control of everyone everywhere. A religion that demands apoligizies and cries if it does not get them, is a very weak self centered belief.

We need more courageous public people like Rhys-Davis to confront the spread of Islam and their backwards beliefs...

Loved him best in Shogun. Great actor.

I was hoping no one would stoop to your level :)

That is a good question.

I wonder if the morons ranting about his critisisms of Islam will be as ontraged by YET ANOTHER crowd of Muslims chanting for somones death.

NEW DELHI — Author Salman Rushdie fled the city of his birth last week after demonstrations calling for him to be killed were staged outside his hotel in Bombay.
Islamic protesters brandished banners that read, "Kill Salman Rushdie" and "Kill Rushdie, the white-collar terrorist," outside the Taj Mahal hotel, where the author was staying with his girlfriend, model and actress Padma Lakshmi.

He had another interview a month or so ago and he said his father, in the 1950's, was warning about the upcoming war against Western civilation with the Islamic fascists. He said it was even bigger than the cold war.

I hope he tells them to pound sand. He speaks the truth and they hate it. Just who do they think they are always demanding that everybody else bow to their will. Screw 'em!

God bless this man of principle who is willing to put his career on the line standing up for what he believes.

How refreshing to hear a person speak with a backbone and not the spineless jellyfish politicians and media whores who embrace this assault by islam on our western culture.

I am going to contact this gentleman and let him know he is far, far from alone in his beliefs and how proud I am of his courage. His is a message that needs to be heard and taken to heart.

Ditto! Gimli would be proud of him! I'll look around the internet for an e-mail address and post it here if I can find it.

I daresay the majority of white Britons AGREE with his comments, but most will not say so publicly for fear of being called "racist" -- the worst thing you can be in this day and age.

Ironically enough, Mr. Rhys-Davies is publicly condemned for simply speaking his mind yet so many denizens of the entertainment industry live blatantly selfish, immoral and self-indulgent lives or spout off vicious anti-American rhetoric and are not condemned, including some of his Rings co-stars. But that's okay -- to the politically correct, what counts is not doing the right thing it's saying the right thing, purporting to hold the right attitudes. I think that one of the reasons why Hollyweirdos tend to be liberal is that liberalism sanctions their self-absorbed and morally degenerate attitudes and behavior.

RANT OFF!

Thats the truth if I ever heard it.

God Bless him for his courage in stating the truth!

Ping.

At least somebody in Europe, with some media exposure, "gets it".

LOTR:John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) Interview (MUST READ)Islam Vs. The West

>>"The actor's over-the-top views . . ."

Is this news or an editorial piece?

Just one of many examples of press bias that could be extracted from this article.

[Lil'freeper]

"Many do not understand how precarious Western civilisation is and what a joy it is. From it, we get real democracy. From it, we get the sort of intellectual tolerance that allows me to propound something that may be completely alien to you.

If THAT is "anti-muslim" and "racist"... then I'm an anti-muslim racist, too.
