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.

[Major_Risktaker]

Hmmmm....I forget, now let's see...how many Christian Churches or Synagogues have ever open in Mecca?

HOW ABOUT A BIG FAT DOUNUT HOLE BABY!!!

How can this be...

I guess their religious leaders just like a monopoly.

But I will stand by this: Western Christianised Europe has values and experience that is worth defending

Hearty applause for a strong man of convictions. We had all better get over this PC garbage and have a decent conversation about what is really happening before it's too late. And that includes moderate Muslims as well. They are being destroyed by the radical Muslims right along with the rest of it.

The screen name Gimli isn't taken.

[Mr. Morals]

Will they make him 'slide' out of Hollywood?

Sorry, I couldn't resist! :-)

[sheik yerbouty]

I predict a rise in his career, after a lull. The truth is the truth!

[ThirstyMan]

Bravo!!!
Funny that NOBODY but John Rhys-Davies is willing to speak out against Moslem men for their exclusion of equal rights for women, especially in our PC/NOW world.
Why the silence?
I cannot understand why the pass is granted to Moslems.
Could it be fear?

While the westernized world obeys its Christian rules of etiquette, Muslims violate them and when called on it, they utilize their granted tolerance to condemn their critic's monumental insensitivity? What is going on?
Check out the intolerance of dissent within Muslim countries and then explain to me the respect that Islam affords all human beings. It is a lie!
Muslims, when they come to live in Western cultures, so often enjoy the freedoms granted to them without participating in the Western conscience.

When called on their primitive pagan values, these Muslims so quickly decry their critics as uninformed and ignorant of the true teachings of Islam.
But how is it that we are so uninformed?
The world is currently being terrorized by Muslims! Is this not true? Angry Muslim men have declared war on Western civilization. And do the "true teaching" Muslim populations living among us take ANY RESPONSIBILITY for condemning and hunting down these MUSLIM inspired haters and murderers!
NO!
I'm so very sick of being told about the so-called "true teachings" of Islam. Tell the "true teachings" to the Bin Ladens of this world!!! Please! Speak UP!! Quickly!!! Risk your life!!!
They are the ones tarnishing your religion, NOT we who call Islam for what it is.

"By their fruit you shall know them" ....that's an applied Christian teaching.

[Travis McGee]

I'm a fan for life now!

"Last night Mohammed Javed, chairman of the Muslim Society for Wales, said: "We want an apology. This could stir up racial hatred in society. It's ignorance, he should learn more about Islam and the religions before he makes these comments."

There should be a noisy group of Christians that would go to Mohanned Javed's home country and say the same thing.

I wonder how long they would be tolerated.

John Rhys-Davies was on a talk show just this past Friday, the Michael Medved show I think. He struck me as a very intelligent, articulate man with much to say of great importance. He discussed many of the ideas presented in the article in greater detail. Very good interview....

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.

[protest1]

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.

BUMP

Every Freeper needs to read this!!!

[sweetliberty]

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!

-Islam, a Religion of Peace®? Some links...--

[Stewart_B]

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.

[sneakers]

God Bless him for his courage in stating the truth!

[FreedomPoster]

Ping.

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

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

[FreedomPoster]

>>"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.
