Multiculturalism

Multiculturalism: understood as the political ideology that it is both desirable and practicable for considerably different cultures to co-exist in the same society.

There’s a lot to say about this topic. Instead, for now, I’m just going to say if you think I’m hard on the ideology of multiculturalism, be aware than many people in the UK are feeling the same way, and take a look at what Leo McKinstry has to say on the matter. In his view:

“Britain is now governed by a suicide cult bent on wiping out any last vestige of nationhood.”

Nope, he’s not speaking for the BNP, just for himself.

What about Ayaan Hirsi-Ali, abused ex-Muslim? What does she think about the liberal left and their naive theory of multiculturalism?

“My dream is that those lucky enough to be born into a culture of “ladies first” will let go of the myth that all cultures are equal. Human beings are equal; cultures are not.”

That’s what.

What does Bishop Nazir-Ali think? Surely he likes the idea? Nope.

David Davis, senior figure in the Conservative Party?

Well then, what about black man Trevor Phillips, head of the Commission for Equalities and Human Rights? He must surely agree with it automatically? Um.. no. He did once, not now.

It’s not looking so good for the lefties. Even the Labour Party has been trying of late to backtrack on its insane and destructive policy of pandering to incoming cultures and allowing them to self-segregate.

Yes, it would be great if everyone could “just get along”. But no, that isn’t possible while many of these cultures are backward and religious, and while the government panders to them. Multiculturalism can work within limits (i.e. when the cultures wish to assimmilate and are not at odds with the host nation). It can’t work while the tenets of those cultures oppose those of the host nation, while the immigrants identify first and foremost with their ethnic group and not with the host nation, and, quite frankly, wherever Islam is involved. If you want to understand why, just read the Qur’an. If you think they’re going to mellow, you don’t understand Islam.

Any bending to multiculturalism in these cases simply serves to weaken the host nation. Any other belief is naive, as it is a refusal to accept the wealth of empirical evidence that is right before our eyes, right here, right now, in the once United Kingdom.
