#1 Heard Rhys-Davies on Michael Medveds radio show this past week. He gets it. He outright pointed his finger at the submission aspects of the RoP.

What about a new law that makes blasphemy speech against a religion an illegal offense. Would that be the end or what?

I say "pincer the bastards!"

#2  I heard that interview and he did an outstanding job, certainly he's better informed than most of the anti-war celebrities that one encounters, he even cited the Habbush memo from the Telegraph article to an anti-war caller and explained to him who Abu Nidal was and why it was so disconcerting if he did indeed meet with Mohammed Atta.

And when the hell did Islam become a race to begin with?

#3 He and sofia sideshow had an interesting conversation, IIRC. Search his archives. And he's laughing all the way to the bank.

Dan - race encompasses all now.

#4 Does he ever listen to any music other than European? Does he eat Indian food? Does he ever appreciate art other than that from Europe?

Yeah well what can you do... so many nations, so little time.

#5 Lucky--

I am all in favor myself of making it illegal for adherants of one religion to "blaspheme" another, provided the penalties are extremely stiff-- say, exile to Antartica.

I predict that within a couple of months, Christians and Jews and Buddhists and Hindus and atheists would be chatting among themselves, all the Mooslims off murdering penguins.

#6 TPF - 'exile to Antartica.' Nah! way to nice a place, and I think they will do far worse things to penguins than murdering them - ever noticed how much muslim women in the full outfit look like penguins.

I suggest North Korea.

#7 "By 2020, 50 per cent of the children in Holland under the age of 18 will be of Muslim descent."

I live in Holland and keep seeing these numbers again and again on the internet,and they are crap. They come from a census that was held in one of our biggest city's called Rotterdam in 1999 and have since been thoroughly debunked.

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

He has this exactly right, and it's being done on purpose.

Robert, you are exactly right as well.
The leftist elites no doubt think its doubleplusgood the majority of the great unwashed don't get that the ability to express an suposedly unpoplular opinion gets more difficult ever year.

It is a fact that Islamists are a plague on western civilization.This is a battle of civilizations,fortunately some of us like Rhys-Davies recognize it.

#11 And when the hell did Islam become a race to begin with?

Good question Dan. Why is it Muslims can say all the hateful things about christians and other
religions (Kill! Kill! Kill!) yet expect us to farking apologize for pointing something out. What was so bad about what John said?

that we daren’t bring up because we are so cagey about not offending people racially. And rightly we should be. But there is a cultural thing as well. - John Rhys-Davies gets it.

RC, You are right. Remarking that skirts are too short is sexism. Saying that you dont agree with Homosexuallity is 'Homophobic' (it isn't - its a choice and opinion). Saying that you dont agree with Islam is 'Racism'. Defending yourself after 9/11 is Imperialism. 2 + 2 = 5. etc...

#12 I wonder how Davies and that leftist nut viggo mortensen got along. Bet there wasn't much dialogue other than what the script required. I'm glad he has the stones to stand up and say what needs to be said, hope it's not too late.

Problem with a rational discussion about 'islam' is that the loony left is trying to reenact the 'civil rights movement' over and over again. And it's becoming more apparent that all their causes are pretty much B.S.

#13 "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."

So what does Mr. Price think about an individual in the U.K. defending his/her property/person with deadly force? Is Mr. Price "in touch with realities of the nature of present day European society" or not?

#14 looks to me like this dwarf fellows right on with what he says and isn't it wonderful that some one else is speaking thier mind on the subject of the Islamo invasion of the west.I'm hoping Kilroy has started off a new era of un-PC ness that'll wake the dozy leftys up and make them open thier eyes to whats going on around them.All hail Dwarf Man!

#16 Shep! Does that Kilroy chap have a chance at a daytime radio show? Is there an independant network that has that sort of programming?

#17 TPF

Hey now. I like penguins. BTW, my name means a little blue or white-flippered penguin.

Rhys-Davies has made a stand, but I'm not holding my breath for the people who stood behind the Blixie Chix to stand for his right to say it.

#18 I remember when Senator John Tower from Texas came to UC Berkeley in the 1960s to talk at Sproul Plaza. Being a Vietnam Hawk in Congress, he was not popular, to put it nicely, but he was invited to speak. He was drowned out by the LLL Students for a Democratic Society. Even though many told these hecklers to shut up, they ruined the speech.

We are at a crossroads in western Civilization. Rhys-Davies is a very courageous person to speak up. The Islamists will use oppression and discrimination buzzwords to get in power, then they will stomp everyone's asses with their abuse of power. The LLL has been too comfortable living off the fat of the land to see that their heads will be on a block when Sharia comes to town.

#19 Damn AP that's a downer. Look at it this way tho.... it's a death spiral regardless of local victories for the Islamist... they don't know the difference between an 9/16 wrench, a 15 mm wrench and a winch. They haven't figured out that to keep the presses running you need to re-ink the stage from time to time.... they have't figured out that an F100 likes to be loved about once every 4 flying hours. They can't grow wheat, they have no clue about maize they frightened of hogs and dawgs don't like 'em. Phef... this is competition?

It's amazing how the idea of "free speech" is a really big deal to a leftist until it's a conservative individual that's speaking.
