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.

"Outraged Islamic leaders in Wales demanded an immediate apology from Lord Of The Rings actor John Rhys-Davies, who claimed an increase in Europe's Muslim population was a "demographic catastrophe" threatening "Western civilisation"."
Outraged Islamic leaders can kiss my ass. Too many of them are terrorist sympathizers for my liking.

Has anyone else noticed how, all of a sudden, Islam is a race?

Tolkien's story of good versus evil as a metaphor for modern race relations.
That sound you are hearing is JRR Tolkien spinning in his grave.

May God bless John Rhys-Davies for having the courage to say the truth, even if its unpopularity may ruin his career. He is a fine actor and I have enjoyed his work in the Indiana Jones movies, The Living Daylights, and especially The Lord of the Ring saga.
We need more people like him willing to speak as simply, and to the point about the dangers facing Western civilization today. If people fail to take note, life as we know it is doomed to fail.

Why is it when Pat Buchanan says essentially the same thing regarding America (you know that nation we live in) he is branded as a heretic, nazi, whacko, nutcase?? Pesonally I love my European heritage, have lived there and am saddened at the devolution of their culture. Mr Rhys-Davies speaks for me as both an American and one of those of dead white guys so hated here. Wish we had some like him in our entertainment culture who would fall on their sword for principle and love of country. He must be a descendent of Llywelyn "The Great".

"Rhys-Davies....interprets Tolkien's story of good versus evil as a metaphor for modern race relations." This isn't about race. It's about ideology. What an ignorant statement.
"I'm burying my career so substantially in these interviews that it's painful. But I think there are some questions that demand honest answers."
That's another big difference between the right and left. A conservative will realize that actions have consequences and they are more likely to count the cost before shooting off their mouths whereas a lefty will shoot off his mouth at will and then be surprised , or even outraged, when there are consequences.
"The actor's over-the-top views were criticised by Tolkien Society publicity officer Ian Collier."
Truth is over the top now? These journalists are so clueless it's almost painful how they contort words.
"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."
Umm, no, Mr. Price. That statement makes it quite clear that it is YOU who are ignorant.
"we celebrate what is good in cultures and challenge what is bad in civilisations."
I believe that is precisely what he was doing.
"I feel sorry for this actor because he must feel very insecure about his future. I feel sorry for his close mindedness."
What a patronizing, BS statement. At least Mr. Davies knows who, and what, he is. He has his eyes wide open, and he speaks the truth. The demons of darkness (and Islam) have always hated the truth. Exposure represses their power. Thank God for him and others like him, who have a handle on what really matters and are not afraid to stand up for what is right, even if it means making personal sacrifices.
"We are losing the ability to sit down and be able to have a tolerable argument."
BINGO! And that is the intention of political correctness. It hasn't got a thing to do with being sensitive. True sensitivity would cut both ways. PC never does.
"But I will stand by this: Western Christianised Europe has values and experience that is worth defending."
BRAVO! High time somebody said it.

He can speak now thanks to those veterans who defended us and maintain our culture..
Once the muslims dominate the insitutions...remarks like the ones he made will bring a death sentance...
Meanwhile the muslim apologists and mexican illegal alien invasion apologists will have their place in the demise of our history as well...
He's a good man that Mr. John Rhys-Davies...a very good man indeed

And I'll say, with all due respect and humility, that this man is truly ignorant beyond understanding and dumb as a sack of rocks.

"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.
"I'm burying my career so substantially in these interviews that it's painful. But I think there are some questions that demand honest answers."
Worth repeating.

Is it too much to ask that we just send Gimli over to Arafat's compound? Gimli could sharpen his axe on that nasty pubic hair looking growth on Arafat's chin. :-)
Sorry about that. Just venting.

He didn't attack "Muslims", he attacked RADICAL FANATICS that hide behind Islam.
Big difference. But race-baiters don't care about that distinction.
