Being anti-Islamist is not being racist!
John Rhys-Davies is coming under firing for giving giving comfort to racists. No matter that he asserted this:
This conflation of Islam = non-white is ridiculous, Islam is a confession, a belief system, non-Muslim societies are under no obligation to honor the Muslim tradition that one is Muslim if one's father is Muslim (just as non-Jewish societies do not give much heed to the custom of matrilineal descent among Jews). Rhys-Davies fears cultural destruction and extinction. If the words of men like Rhys-Davis are only espoused by ethnic nationalists in the Western world-than I might as well pick up move to be with "my own kind," because the promise of a universal liberal order where equality before the law is a dead letter that no one will fight for it when they come for the apostates:
Fuck your opinion, I know what the average "Joe Ali" thinks about apostasy, and what they would do if sensitive white liberals stood by and allowed cultural "traditions" to supersede equality before the law. Berlusconi was right damnit! And the Muslims know it, why else would they be killing themselves to cross into Europe! Look at this picture of Rhys-Davies, an archetypical dark Welshman, I imagine a little Photoshop with his clothes could turn him into an "Arab." If he converted to the Muslim faith would he then be a racial minority???
