Lord of the Rings actor warns world has 'lost its moral compass completely' and fears the end of 'Western civilization' due to ISIS threat in Middle East
John Rhys-Davies lamented the 'extraordinary silence in the West'
He claimed Christianity was being 'wiped out' in the Middle East but neither America or Britain were doing anything about it
The British actor told US interviewer Adam Carolla that political correctness was too blame, with people too scared to criticize other groups
The Welsh actor, 71, also talked about his memorable movie role in Indiana Jones: The Raiders of the Lost Ark

The conversation quickly switched to modern-day atrocities, including the ISIS beheadings in the Middle East.
Rhys-Davies said: 'Basically, Christianity in the Middle East and in Africa is being wiped out - I mean not just ideologically but physically.'
He warned of how 'people are being enslaved and killed because they are Christians' and claimed that Adolf Hitler's book Mein Kampf is 'a bestseller in the Middle East'.
He told his American interviewer: 'Your country and my country (Wales) are doing nothing about it. We have lost our moral compass completely.'
Carolla suggested political correctness was the culprit, saying: 'Why is it so evolved not to judge?This notion that we’ve evolved into a species that’s incapable of judging other groups and what they are doing, especially when it’s beheading people or setting people on fire or throwing acid in the face of schoolgirls… I like that kind of judging. That’s evolved!'
Rhys-Davies replied: 'This is a unique age. We don’t want to be judgmental. Every other age that’s come before us has believed exactly the opposite. I mean, T.S. Eliot referred to "the common pursuit of true judgement". Yes, that’s what it’s about. Getting our judgments right, getting them accurate.
'I think (this is) an age where politicians don’t actually say what they believe. They are afraid of being judged as being partisan. Heaven forbid we should criticize people who, after all, share a different "value system".
'But it’s all relevant, it’s all equally relative. We’re all the same. And God and the devil, they’re the same, aren’t they, really? Right and wrong?
It’s really just two faces of the same coin.
'We have lost our moral compass completely, and unless we find it, we’re going to lose our civilization.
'I think we’re going to lose Western European Christian civilization anyway.'
