Since 1972, John Rhys-Davies has had a hand in 117 movies/TV series. I always liked his character in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Here is his IMDB.com profile: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0722636/

Islam's a race?

[Gritty]

This guy has passed from being an "actor" into being a truth-teller, and that has all the Usual Suspects getting their panties in a wad.

He is precisely on target with his analysis. He has no reason in the world to back off his correct observations, despite the bleats of outrage from those who seek to stifle the obvious.

[Jim Cane]

Good for Rhys-Davies. All he did was utter the truth about the orcs talibanies.

If you like his work, check him out in Dragon Storm this Friday on the SciFi Channel.

I'm still trying to figure out what in the heck happened to his nose. Anyone know the scoop there?

[jimt]

I always thought he was a great actor. It's nice to see his portrayal of thoughtful, courageous characters came from within. He's right on target with his comments.

[Jim Cane]

No idea about the nose. Dwarf tossing accident?

Here in America when that earthquake happened in Iran the reaction of everyone I knew was horror and dismay, the reaction of everyone when they heard that the old woman had been brought out alive long after they thought there was anyone there was absolute awe at the extraordinary capacity of the human spirit to survive. Contrast that with people jumping up and down and clapping at the 9/11 disaster in certain countries.

Damn. I am liking this dude more and more. And he even lives in L.A.!

"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."

Bless him for telling the truth. We have refugees in our church from Algeria and Sudan who have fled from the gentle inclusiveness of Islam in their countries. What is happening there will happen in Europe if Europe doesn't take steps to prevent it.

"There is documentary evidence that Tolkien did not agree with these views and we are saddened to see this kind of misrepresentation occurring."

I read both books and don't remember Tolkien saying the orcs were the good guys.

[Rytwyng]

Wow. I don't know what to say. An actor spoke the truth.

bump to the top....

Besides how is this racist? Islam is a religion

Moslems hate "the white man", because in their minds Western Civilization, Christianity, and the white race are all the same thing. We, of course, know better: we all probably know plenty of non-white westerners, non-white Christians, non-Christian whites, etc, but Islam makes no distinction.

The reason for this is that Islam isn't just a religion - it's a complete civilisational operating system (albeit a bad one). The Christian idea that faith could flower under different governments, in different cultural matrices, etc, is incomprehensible to them, as is the idea that you could, personally, choose NOT to be a Christian yet still remain a member in good standing of Western civilization. To them, church, state, and culture are one.

And so, from their persective, if you're from "Western Civilization", the historically Christian civilization, you're a "Christian" in their minds. And since most of the historically Christian nations were white, Islam automatically assumes that any white person is a Christian, too. And they want us all dead.

Of course, they have no hesitation about persecuting nonwhite Christians either. The Islamic mass enslavement, rape, homosexual assault, castration, and murder of black Christians in Africa, is precisely what they will do to all of us Westerners (whatever color or creed), if they ever have the power.

Molon Labe!

"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.

[cyborg]

good post I agree

[AmishDude]

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

[Rytwyng]

Actually, the Middle East (primarily, the parts that are now Iran, Iraq, Egypt; technically, not Arab areas) was rightly known as the Cradle of Civilization, and had very advanced civilizations. However, when Islam arose and swept in during the 7th-8th centuries, it paralyzed them. Not many years after the arrival of Islam, these countries had ceased their cultural activities, which had been stifled by Islamic law and society, and thereafter devoted themselves mainly to piracy and conquest.

In other words, they've only been stagnating for about 1200 years, not 2000. The problem is not Middle Easterners, it's Islam.

This can indeed be. Dutch people hardly take children compared to people from immigrant origin. In cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam this situation is already happening.
