Multiculturalism says that we all stand shoulder-to-shoulder as equals in the context of the laws of the land we live in, something that, for example, Benazir Bhutto would have recognised as good practice. What we have right now, when cultures clash, is Islamist monoculturalism which says that non-Muslims are always in some way the oppressors. <br /><br />Just as AJP Taylor said that CND were "the last imperialists" because they assumed that Britain acting unilaterally would have a worldwide effect, so we face a new imperialism that requires us to disarm in the face of cultural opposition. As you say, that was never the way to defeat a bully.Joe Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813771610543530480noreply@blogger.com
