Are you sure they're not confusing Gollum with Golem? Golems are clay people with the word of god written on their forehead (or "truth" I think) and are generally animated for the purposes of revenge. Quite different.

not confusing so much as combining... the minister, jewish herself, was struck when she saw the movie by the gollum/golem thing. she talked about golems today... some similarities. anyway, she doesn't think it's a coincidence. i don't know enough to comment...
