An actor who starred in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy has called out the West for ignoring the evils that are attacking Christianity around the world.

Citing the persecution and martyrdom of Christians across the Middle East, largely at the hands of the Muslims, actor John Rhys-Davies said, “There is an extraordinary silence in the West.

“Basically, Christianity in the Middle East and in Africa is being wiped out – I mean not just ideologically but physically, and people are being enslaved and killed because they are Christians. And your country and my country are doing nothing about it.”

The Welsh actor’s comments were made on Adam Carolla’s popular podcast, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Rhys-Davies, who played the axe-waving dwarf warrior Gimli in the movie series about the conflict between good and evil, said, “We have lost our moral compass completely, and, unless we find it, we’re going to lose our civilization.”

He warned Islamic terrorism and political correctness could bring destruction.
