Wow good for him. He's willing to risk his career to say what needs to be said. I wish there were more in Hollywood like him.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Right on! The truth shall set you free! Those European countries that colonised Muslim Africa are sorry now, and will sorrier in the decades to come.

[wardaddy]

the truth hurts.

hasn't he already been bashed before for admitting being a Tory?

[xzins]

If Rhys-davies is right that by 2020 that 50% of schoolage kids in Holland will be Muslim, then he is correct. The traditional dutch culture will disappear.

He shouldn't be pilloried; he should be quoted. He's not even prophesying. He's simply reading the stats.

If there's anything Dutch worth preserving, the Dutch mamas & papas, thoroughly indoctrinated by western liberal low population/birth control propaganda, better start having more kids.

[Salvey]

We are losing the ability to sit down and be able to have a tolerable argument.

Well, he's right about that. Unfortunately, a calm, dispassionate discussion about, say, race, is off limits today.

Western Christianised Europe has values and experience that is worth defending.

Ya think?

[Porterville]

[ValerieUSA]

An actor with a brain and courage! How refreshing!

[pbear8]

A sensible man making sensible comments.

[Palladin]

Very impressive. I always liked this guy. He is a wonderful actor. He is right on the mark when he says Western civilization is disappearing.

Just take a look at the reading lists in our high schools and colleges:

Shakespeare has been replaced by Toni Morrison.

[EternalVigilance]

Sheesh. The man has lots of restraint, I think. After all, think of all the times he was standing behind that lefty who played Aragorn with an axe in his hands and didn't chop his head off!

;-)

[3catsanadog]

He played a very nice Middle Eastern man in "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

[Bobby777]

wow ...

[lainde]

WOW...BTTT!

[etcetera]

"I am for dead white male culture..."

Here! Here!

[arasina]

Finally, a LOTR thread that will be clicked on by FReepers who wouldn't usually do so. (Such as I.)

[Bogey78O]

Is it inflammatory to say that a culture that has caused nothing but stagnation for almost 2,000 years is not as good as one that has produced the most stunning advancements in just a few hundred?

Arab culture is regressive by all standards and it's promulgation in the West while silencing any Western thought in their own countries is a tragedy.

[Prodigal Son]

I don't think that Western society is opposed to Islamic society at all. I think a very important part of Islamic society is opposed to Western society.

How could anyone even argue with that statement? It is truth through and through.

[Welsh Rabbit]

"I condemn these comments as being racist and ill-informed," said Adam Price, Plaid Cymru MP for Carmarthen East & Dinefwr. "It is obvious that this man who now lives in the lap of luxury in Hollywood is out of touch with realities of the nature of present day European society. "His attack on Muslims and comments about the threat that they pose to Western society shows his ignorance of world events and the true teachings of Islam. "Ammanford people will feel very let down by a man with such close connections to the town."

Why do the Welsh even bother to distinguish themselves from the English if they're going to elect such namby-pansy little girly men to represent them?

[cyborg]

Reading HIS words and not someone's else's interpretation, I do not get the impression of racism at all. Besides how is this racist? Islam is a religion. I happened to agree with him. I think there are liberals AND conservatives who will read more than what he intended to say.
