Multiculturalism has failed.

This is absolutely right. Europe's fate is sealed as being nothing more than a bunch of mediocre countries at best. Their main source of an economic base will be tourism in the future.

All because they placed multiculturalism as their priority.

It has nothing to do with multiculturalism, every single country has had their time in the spotlight. Historically you don't get 2nd chances at being a world power again for centuries if it even happens again. Europes fate was sealed at the end of ww1, the EU was a last ditch effort to stay relevant and it didn't even last 20 years at its peak. Multiculturalism has certainly led to France and others many problems but they were mediocre has bens WAY before any of this came about

.....and to think that Europeans consider(ed) themselves so much more "enlightened" than the rest of world, LOL.

Exactly! Most people don't realize that it's also a reason we can not rely on the European economy, and why the world still looks to us for economic stability.

He urged a "more active, muscular liberalism" where equal rights, the rule of law, freedom of speech and democracy are actively promoted to create a stronger national identity.

The prime minister, who took power in May 2010, argued that "under the doctrine of state multiculturalism, we have encouraged different cultures to live separate lives, apart from each other and the mainstream".

I guess his solution to the problem is forcing foreigners to adopt local customs? Of course not - they will mandate the locals adopt the foreigners customs.

when you talk about wealth and resources you have to remember that those things do not be long to a government or people or nation (communists excluded). resource and wealth belong to private individual people. I think as we move through the next century we will see less nationalism and more individualism.

I hope you're right.

"We have been too concerned about the identity of the person who was arriving and not enough about the identity of the country that was receiving him," Sarkozy said in the TFI channel show."

I wonder if they have to press a different number to switch between languages on the phone?

There is plenty of land left in Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada to open a few more reservations. Practice all the Sharia law you want out there, just keep it away from my community.

NIMBY?

There should be no endorsement of Sharia law anywhere on U.S. soil.

Well, I forgot about this thread for a bit, but Spensers answer is 99.9% what I would have responded with.

So basically, who ever wrote that agrees with me.
