roots of violent Islamism are not “superficial but deep” and can be
found “in the extremist minority that now, in every European city,
preach hatred of the West and our way of life.”
German
Chancellor Angela Merkel declared that in Germany, multiculturalism has
“utterly failed.” Both Australia’s ex-prime minister John Howard and
Spain’s ex-prime minister Jose Maria Aznar reached the same conclusion
about multiculturalism in their countries.
British Prime Minister David
Cameron has warned that multiculturalism is fostering extremist
ideology and directly contributing to homegrown Islamic terrorism. UK
Independence Party leader Nigel Farage said the United Kingdom’s push
for multiculturalism has not united Britons but pushed them apart. It
has allowed for Islam to emerge despite Britain’s Judeo-Christian
culture. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said the roots of
violent Islamism are not “superficial but deep” and can be found “in
the extremist minority that now, in every European city, preach hatred
of the West and our way of life.”
The bottom line is that much of the Muslim world is at war with Western
civilization. There’s no question that the West has the military might
to thwart radical Islam’s agenda. The question up for grabs is whether
we have the intelligence to recognize the attack and the will to defend
ourselves from annihilation.

I like a little multiculturalism. I’d hate to live in a place where everybody thought exactly the same, ate the same foods, had the same attitudes, did the same things, all the time. Bo-ring.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Spanish flamenco dancing, German classical music, English lyric poetry, Italian renaissance art, French cuisine, Mexican fiestas, Filipino loyalty, Polynesian singing . . . . What’s nice about it in America is that I can have all that without being haughty like a Spaniard, anal-retentive like a German, stuffy like an Englishman, hotheaded like an Italian, arrogant like a Frenchman, and so on.
I welcome diversity from other lands and other cultures, but who the hell said you can’t have both -- the American freedom, security, organization, and all that along with other features at the same time. To abandon your life in corrupt Shitholistan and come to America to make a better one, then insist upon creating the exact situation you originally ran away from seems a bit stupid in my opinion.
The United States is almost by birth and tradition multicultural.But, like
ReplyDeleteanything else, when your enemies begin exploiting your generosity as a
weakness, it's time to cut bait and kick ass. That time began with Ted
Kennedy, and has since snowballed, IMO. .. which reminds me
this old, Jesuitical, post ...
Never forget, In the war on women, it was Teddy Kennedy that scored the first kill.

Multiculturalism fails, because it does not value societal trust (The Last Centurion — John Ringo).
ReplyDeleteTraditional/tribal societies are based on familial trust that trusts "us" and distrusts "the other."
America's uniqueness is partly due to societal trust (Alexis de Tocqueville).
Unfortunately, the tribalism of urban/ethnic areas damages this assumed trust, and recent Progressive governments have sabotaged it.
When those raised in familial trust societies immigrate, it takes time for them to adapt to societal trust, if they ever do (see: Italians, Irish, etc.).
Multiculturalism removes our expectation that they will.

After 15 years in a multicultural heaven known as the hell of south florida, I have finally escaped. I moved to the "nature coast" of Florida. It has taken some getting used to. After all these years your shields don't come down overnight. People here just talk to each other, they don't have shields. I usually wear a USMC eagle globe and anchor on my ball cap. I have never gone out and some other vet does not say Semper Fi. Kids are polite and countryfied, they speak a slower English, that is actually English. People leave windows down in parking lots. Its amazing just to stand in line in Wally World and watch people chat and be decent to each other. Living proof that a heterogeneous society is a much more happy and functional society than the dog pound of American major cities. Since leaving Broward, I feel ten years younger and its not just because I found out where the snook are. But I did. -Anymouse
ReplyDelete"Celebrate Diversity" has become "Celebrate Diversity, Or Else".
ReplyDeleteMulticulturalism isn't necessarily the entire problem in and of itself.
ReplyDeleteIt's the inability or refusal to make value judgements that are at the core of the problem.
When a society can't bring itself to treat a murdering jihadist as a murdering jihadist or an illegal alien as an illegal alien there is no where to go but down.
I knew we were headed for a shit storm the first time I heard about non-judgementalism way back in the '80s.

ReplyDeleteAs a Coloradan I totally get this. All the Californians and New England libtards have majorly screwed this state up.
