Multiculturalism roundup from weblogs
The Observer's Jamie Doward revealed -- unusually from a Guardian Group of newspaper -- that British citizens are being urged by Muslim preachers to ignore UK law:
Secret video footage reveals Muslim preachers exhorting followers to prepare for jihad, to hit girls for not wearing the hijab, and to create a 'state within a state'.
It has been alleged -- by bloggers -- that Britain has no culture. And an Englishman reacted:
English, not Europe first and last. I am not an American nor Australian, well maybe just a little bit. I am English not British. I am English and not Multicultural! I am English and not a Homosexual or hopefully any other perversion of English or Christianity. <<read more>>
Sarfraz Manzoor's writeup in The Guardian tittled, ''Britain should integrate into Muslim values'', drew attention. Sarfraz wrote eulogising child-parent role in immigrant families:
Whether the danger is religious extremism, drugs or crime, those involved are largely third-generation Muslims who are so integrated into white society that they are emulating its worst characteristics. Integration did not save them, it created them.
Some points are valid insofar as they reflect on the decline of community, unlike in the US, in British society. However, Islam and Muslim values are not the way for simple reason that Islam does not permit individual liberty.
