In every Western European country immigrants have completely pushed ‘natives’ out of the prison system. Crime has risen across the board, making Sweden the country with one if not the country of the highest number of reported rapes in the world. In Belgium 2005, Minister of equal opportunities Grouwels even stated that many Belgian women living in immigrant neighborhoods now wear a scarf over their heads to be safe from assault. In 2006, a small French Union demanded the government to do something about the constant assaults on police officers which they labeled “a permanent intifada”. Police complained they were constantly ambushed and trapped while their attackers yell “Allahu Akbar”.
Peter Golden, a labor politician in England, could no longer work in his district as he was constantly assaulted for his sexual preferences, echoing complains of the local gay community. I could go on & on, but fact is, you sir, can no longer walk safely in many European neighborhoods, and for women, its a whole lot worse.

There are areas in Sweden even the police do not dare to show up, and one particular neighborhood is no longer served by the postal services.

For those who live in such neighborhoods, this is nothing new, it is only the unwillingness of the media to adress such questions and people like you who take no issue with the disturbing statistics of this new Europe. I know many women who have been assaulted and have been called “white sluts” or “blond whores”. I’m tired of this, and even though i will constantly be labeled a racist, although hate is no motivation of mine, i will gladly accept another monicker you use. At least i can look myself in the mirror.

I am sure you are part of the “all religions are the same crowd” without ever cracking open a quran or reading about “Prophet Muhammed” and wonder if he is the perfect rolemodel Muslims should have in mind for their daily lives.

The next time a Islam critic is killed in Europe or elsewhere, google Abu Afak, Bint Marwan or sunayna. You may get a glimpse of the answers ordained by the prophet of Islam for those who criticize his religion.

I lived and worked in Singapore as a physician. I’m American of Italian extraction and speak fluent Mandarin Chinese and Indonesian. While there is a modicum of “multiculturalism” as you say in Singapore, it is more a tolerance than a true cross-mixing and blending of the various racial and ethnic groups. They tolerate each other’s presence mostly at work, in business, in schools and in mixed neighborhoods. To a degree they even fraternize with each other, and rarely there may even be an intermarriage,(my Goan Indian friend was married to a TeoChiew Chinese woman) But there is also an enduring, but carefully concealed prejudice based on stereotypes shared by almost everyone. Another Indian Tamil friend of Brahmin caste could not date a pretty Tamil girl of lower caste for fear of social ostracism. In the hospital where I worked the Chinese spoke their own dialects to exclude other Chinese from their petty intrigues. Cantonese hated Hakka, Hainanese hated TeoChiew, and Hokkien hated everybody. When they saw me approaching they would instantly shut up, fearing I would spy on them. Since they knew I spoke Mandarin, they could not be sure whether I also understood Hokkien. In the hospital cafeteria there was self segregation: Tamils with Tamils, Punjabis with Punjabis, and of course Muslims strictly with Muslims. Asians are highly civilized people, and are experts at living in harmony simply because they want to succeed and thrive, with a generous helping of their Hindu-Buddhist traditions of laissez-faire. But understand that this “multiculturalism” is based on the realism that a swarming population must share limited space and resources, and not on some Western utopian idea of schmoozy “love”.

I have lived in Quebec. Many of these people will try to explain why they hate the “English” and it makes this group where there isn’t even one.

What people fear they hate. In Quebec, they fear losing their “culture” no matter how generic and North American it seems to outsiders, they have had to replace the control of the population by the church with something similar to religion, “Quebec culture” . It is nothing but a way to make the population ignorant without the tools that religion used to carry.

Same in Japan, how else can you keep the old boys club in power without a Religion that can strike down on person ? They brainwash their youth with “culture” to try to turn them into robots for that old boys club.

This method of control works well, until open minded people come and spread the good news of unity and respect of all people, and show them how wrong there controller were, and all the lies ( no place is more advanced than Japan, French gives you better culture)

It is all lies.

But I really liked how you approached it from multiple angles.
Thanks again for yet another good read.

Cheers

Understand that many immigrants have complained about my province making it hard for them by demanding knowledge of French and forcing them to send their kids to French schools. Not to mention the language police doling out fines for those businesses that refuse to display French more prominently than any other language. Chinese immigrants are particularly irked by that later point.

In any case, the question of Quebec’s place in Canada is obviously a hotly debated topic that has been lingering around since the 60′s and even before, albeit in a much more subdued “leave us alone, we’ll leave you alone” isolationism. While I’ve heard Albertans demanding their own independence based on some fear of “God hating, pro choice, free market destroying commies” in other provinces, Quebec’s claim to independence has always been “cultural” in nature. Oh sure, some separatists will tell you about Ottawa screwing Quebecois over, but in almost all instances of Quebec nationalism it comes down to “we’re different”. Why? French language, obviously, and some vague references to being “more left leaning” than the other provinces. Of course, Quebecois are not French, despite France’s overwhelming presence in our literature and history classes in school. That so many “intellectuals” end up deferring to French auteurs and find few if any home grown peers to look up to is equally overlooked. But rest assured, Quebec culture is a real thing.

Like Canadian culture, really. Quebecois might snicker that their bloke neighbours are lacking in that department (hence the constant “minimum Canadian content” regulations in media output), but ask your average Joe Canadian and he’ll tell you that maple syrup runs in his vein (even though most of it comes from Quebec) and Hockey is his bread and butter (because only Canadians like hockey, right? I mean, those Slavic or Nordic sounding names in the NHL belong to pure bred Canadians right?).

There is Canadian culture and there is Quebec culture because… well because there is! It’s there, plain to see for all! Don’t see it? Then you’re a traitor. To the separatist, you’re an agent of Canadian hegemony. To Canadians, you’re a vile American apologist.

When asked to define said culture beyond the language or trite stereotypes, things become more complicated. Canadians are not Americans, and Quebecois speak French in a continent full of English speakers.

The association between culture and nation is a result of the French and American revolutions demanding that people work together on a purely consensual basis while maintaining established national borders, borders forged in bloody wars and uneasy compromises. With war for territory being a bad thing (unless you’re a barbarian and need to be civilized), culture becomes a very useful tool to justify national borders.

Creating and maintaining such an illusion of cohesiveness is not always easy when efforts to populate your newly found (or forcefully taken) territory in short order requires importing people from various parts of the world. Language barriers, for example, lead to the formation of “cultural” enclaves – meaning people who speak the same tongue and therefore able to function as a group more easily and better able to provide essential services to said individuals. When these enclaves grow in number and the borders begin to generate hybrids, one might start talking about “cultural melting pots”. But aside from language and culinary preferences (which often have less to do with human intervention than adaptation to locally available products, resources and technology which become habit), what is Italian culture, Greek culture, Spanish culture or even Mexican culture? Are people all over Italy, Spain, Greece, and Mexico the same? Do they all share the same preferences, ideas, and values?

For a nation State to exist there needs to be the illusion of culture. The Japanese State knows this and does impose a daily set of rituals through compulsory education. Conveniently enough, said compulsory education will also put much emphasis on Japanese identity through the much debated “moral education” which of course does not exist in North America… ever… because everyone is a free spirit and free to follow their own path, right?

It begs belief that you can even take the time to write such drivel. Your point is essentially ‘better an idiot who hates people than an idiot who likes people’.
In addition to all this you cannot use history to predict future trends. Especially when your ‘facts’ are so flawed (Singapore, a city state based upon immigration, springs to mind).

One more point. You say that multiculturalism doesn’t work and leads to just more infighting. Do you think that infighting just wouldn’t exist? Look at the class and caste systems around the world. People throughout history have always attempted to differentiate each other. The class system, for instance, was a way of differentiating against people who looked the same. Multiculturalism can work – again, just look at Singapore.
