Will Multiculturalism End Europe?

[Sofiyya 1,687]

All this whining from European leaders about multiculturalism makes me realize that they cant chew gum and walk at the same time. All the cheerleading from conservatives shows that they only give lip service to the notion of personal responsibility. Last generation, Europe blamed Jews for their problems, this generation blames Muslims. All along, they aborted most of their potential workers, turned away from religion, and spent themselves into tremendous debt. It's everyone's fault but theirs. Boo hoo!

Yeah its a weird state of affairs for world leaders to bemoan multi-culturalism when the prevailing culture that people are supposed to assimilate into is exclusory.

Funny that.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

But what the hell - let's just vote in the BNP and make it even more exclusory.

It worked brilliantly in Hitler's Germany, not forgetting of course the halcyon days of the Balkans war and the Rwandan genocide. Clearly a small price to pay for getting everyone to march to the beat of Nick Griffin's drum.

If Europe "ends", it's highly likely that it will be "replaced" with something better.

Like maybe something like in the middle east ? I mean the way those country's are so progressive how in the world can Europe compete with them ? I'm guessing this is the reason there's millions Europeans illegally immigrating to the middle east and north africa every year eh...

Prove to us how much you despise multiculturalism by breaking out your white robes and sending your furriner wife home. I dare you. Until you do that, you're just full of sh!t. That goes for Danno, too.

multi-culturalism works well in Malaysia -

maybe it's time for the Germans to migrate ?

And, Maylasia is mostly Muslim. Maybe it works because there are few Europeans to muck it up.

Malaysian law does not recognize marriage between a Muslim and a non-Muslim unless the non-Muslim converts.

Malaysia is being touted as a shining example of multiculturalism. It is not.

From MALAYSIA.GOV:

Marriage Procedures Between Muslim and Non-Muslim

A non-Muslim must convert from his/ her religion to Islam in order for him/ her to marry a Muslim. He/ she must refer to the State Religious Department or seek help from an Imam at the nearest mosque in the area. After which, the same marriage procedures for Muslims apply.

civil courts include Federal Court, Court of Appeal, High Court of Malaya on peninsula Malaysia, and High Court of Sabah and Sarawak in states of Borneo (judges are appointed by the king on the advice of the prime minister); sharia courts include Sharia Appeal Court, Sharia High Court, and Sharia Subordinate Courts at state-level and deal with religious and family matters such as custody, divorce, and inheritance only for Muslims; decisions of sharia courts cannot be appealed to civil courts.

Why Me- on the subject of Shariah, they will obfuscate till they're blue in the face. For the purposes of this thread, it suffices that Malaysia's marriage laws are not symptomatic of a multicultural utopia.

We don't tolerate gay marriage much here. And, mixed race marriages only gained acceptance many years after the Supreme Court ruled miscegenation laws unconstitutional.

Malaysia is being touted as a shining example of multiculturalism. It is not.

So is the US, and it's not.

Homosexuality is a cross-cultural phenomenon. We're talking about multiculturalism.

... mixed race marriages only gained acceptance many years after the Supreme Court ruled miscegenation laws unconstitutional.

Very good point. America, as imperfect as it is, has moved forward. Malaysia is yet to follow.

So is the US, and it's not.

I didn't say it is. But it's doing a lot better than Malaysia.
