(US Admin 2) Multiculturalism is the equivalent of assuming a Barracuda will peacefully Coexist with all the other fish in you aquarium. Excerpt: Former Islamic extremist Ed Husain has referred to the result of 25 years of multiculturalism as not multicultural communities but plural monoculturalism. Husain recalls: Many Muslims want to live apart from mainstream British society; official government policy has helped them do so. I grew up without any white friends. My school was almost entirely Muslim. I had almost no direct experience of British life or British institutions. So it was easy for the extremists to say to me: You see? Youre not part of British society. You never will be. You can only be part of an Islamic society. The first part of what they said was true. I wasnt part of British society: nothing in my life overlapped with it. Kenan Malik, a British writer of Asian heritage, noted: Where once [it was] argued that everyone should be treated equally, despite their radical, ethnic, religious or cultural differences, now it pushed the idea that different people should be treated differently because of such differences.
