"End of an Innocent Age"
by Janet Albrechtsen

PERSONAL NOTE: This theme appears to have become a trend. I must nip it in the bud. Later, perhaps.


"...when boys, born in British hospitals, develop allegiances that demand death to their countrymen, you know that the utopian vision of multiculturalism, urged on us with the best of intentions, has not gone as planned."

"...the West's multiculturalism created conditions that encouraged the West's fanatical enemies. We were so busy being inclusive, denigrating our own culture, that we were not noticing what was happening."

"...more than a few people are saying that tolerance is not as safe as it seems. That too much of the stuff can be a problem because it suggests to those who detest our values and our societies that we will not make judgments about what is right and what is wrong."

"Now, even long-time supporters of multiculturalism, ...wonder aloud whether it is time for us to lay down some ground rules for those from different cultures who wish to live side by side with our culture."

"When Muslim imams claim special exemptions... claim[ing] democracy and Islam do not mix, let us say no to that. Democracy is a core value and if you do not believe in it, please leave."


Final Note: Anything in brackets are additions of my own for clarity's sake.
