You are obfuscating. The West is not tribal.

If you want to live in a tribal society, this isn't the one for you. If you want to tribalise this society, you can bugger off right now because I ain't having any of that shite.
If you meant something else, come out with it.


nm Soren - you completely missed my point.

Multiculturalism is a domestic policy concerned with how to integrate different ethnic groups that are already part of an nation's population. It has nothing to do with treating "the whole world as our family". For example, it is not an open-border policy, it is quite independent from the nation's immigration policy and nor does it have anything to do with our overseas aid policy.

Not hard to so - see highlight


You are a bit of a Kevni of the Muslim persuasion - have had hinted at every imaginable position as regards anything to do with Islam. A Muslim for all seasons.

I don't blame you personally, I hasten to add. You are intelligent and articulate and I do not doubt your fundamental good will for a moment. But even you find it impossible to be both a Western liberal democrat and a Muslim. You, like all Muslims, find it impossible to make specific criticism of Islam - Koran, Mohammed, hadith - where they evidently and irreconcilably clash with Western ideals. 

Your task is impossible - to reconcile the Enlightenment (of which the West is the living product) with Islam (which is completely untouched by the Enlightenment). It is not possible to justify a pre-enlightenment social, intellectual and political order (Islam or any other) on the grounds of Enlightenment principles of individual liberty, freedom of conscience, speech and religion, balance of the various powers (judicial, executive, legislative), etc.

Yes friends, don’t come the warm cheese with the old boy. He won’t have it.

The old boy has principles of individual liberty. Do your own thing - that’s the old boy’s motto. Live and let live.

Yes friends, it is so. The old boy’s an Enlightenment man. Judicial, legislative, executive.

Just don’t serve your milk and your stool on the same plate - that’s haram.

Naturally, i voted no.
How can alien cultures and religious systems live together when they all hold different aims?
There has been no nation in history who has had multiculturism and succeded in the long run.
Number one example- the soviet union.
Number two example- the ottoman empire
Number three example- the roman empire.
And what about the british empire? it only exists in white countries.
So no is my answer.


This,

Also political ethologist Frank Salter, author of On Genetic Interests: Family, Ethnicity, and Humanity in an Age of Mass Migration, has argued
Quote:
multiculturalism has reduced Australia's historic Anglo-Celtic majority to a subaltern ethnicity. They are second-class citizens, the only ethnic group subjected to gratuitous defamation and hostile interrogation in the quality media, academia and race-relations bureaucracy. The national question is obscured in political culture by fallout from a continuing culture war against the historical Australian nation. Many of the premises on which ethnic policy have been based since the 1970s are simply false, from the beneficence of diversity to the white monopoly of racism and the irrelevance of race. The elite media and strong elements of the professoriate assert that racial hatred in Australia is the product of Anglo-Celtic society. But in the same media and even in the Commission for Race Discrimination most ethnic disparagement is aimed at “homogenised white” people


Patrick Buchanan from the US has written:
Quote:
We are attempting to convert a republic, European and Christian in its origins and character, into an egalitarian democracy of all the races, religions, cultures and tribes of planet Earth. We are turning America into a gargantuan replica of the U.N. General Assembly, a continental conclave of the most disparate and diverse peoples in all of history, who will have no common faith, no common moral code, no common language and no common culture. What, then, will hold us together?

A woman is in hospital after a group of up to nine people beat her until she was unconscious on a full Melbourne bus.

The 26-year-old St Kilda woman complained to the driver after the rowdy group boarded the bus in the city, because they were being boisterous and knocking into other passengers.

After she complained, one of the women in the group threw a drink over the St Kilda woman then punched her in the face, police say.

Other group members then dragged the woman to the ground where they punched and kicked her body and head until she was unconscious.

Several other people had also complained to the driver about the group, which was standing in the aisle because the bus was full.

The group fled after the bus driver opened the door on Swanston Street.

The victim was treated at the scene and taken to hospital for treatment where she is in a stable condition.

Police say the group of six or seven males and two females boarded the NightRider in the city about 2.30am (AEST) on Sunday morning and are perceived to be of African appearance.

They will review CCTV as part of their investigation.

Somehow, you never hear about gangs of 'Scandinavian' appearance. There are no Danish, Swedish, Norwegian gangs. No English, Scottish, French or Swiss gangs. No Spanish gangs or Dutch or Belgian gangs.

Antisocial behaviour by African, Middle Eastern, Vietnamese, Asian, Pacific Islander gangs - yes, plenty of those.

What could be the reason?? A mystery.

Are there no oppressed and disadvantaged Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, English, Scots, French, Swiss, Spanish, Dutch or Belgians?

Don't tell me it's because they are culturally compatible?! Simply because they JUST fit in???

Aren't we all the same inside???

Do you mean apart from those with serious gerontological complications?

I can think of one who is most oppressed by a matron in a certain aged-care ward, old chap. She won't even let him eat his own stool if you please.

Yes, as an admirer of John Stuart-Mill, I know how disappointed you must feel. If I was you, I'd keep them in my bedside drawer.

Oh, they look in there?

Try revolution, old boy. It's your only option.

That list is our progressive bible. Its only fault is that it hasn't included Muslims and boat people. They too are underprivileged people. Once we reverse this list world peace can then be attained.
