‘Multiculturalism failing’: Swedish PM pleas for order as riots engulf Stockholm suburbs
I immediately assumed that the rioters were Muslims, so I searched the page for the terms ‘Muslim’ and ‘Islam’. No results. So I Googled for another link.
Riots rock Sweden’s immigrant suburbs for fourth night
Again, I searched the page for the terms ‘Muslim’ and ‘Islam’. Again, no results. So, who are the rioters?
I live in New Zealand. My family emigrated here from England when I was 11 years old. I work with Chinese people. I blog with a Maori. My local MP is a Pacific Islander. It’s all good.
Multiculturalism is NOT failing.

If I may be so bold as to suggest the people of different races that you work with share a common ‘kiwi culture’, so while you operate in a multi-racial environment, this is not necessaraly a multicultural environment, particlarly of the type that now exists in the UK and Europe.
When it comes to multiculturalism, Europe’s three main political leaders David Cameron, Angela Merkel and former French President Nicholas Sarkozy are all unanimous in their verdict – it has failed.

They are speaking of course in respect to Islamic culture’s incompatibility with western cultural values of liberty, and democracy. The burning of cars in Sweden by ‘youths’ is just one example of the failure of immigrant cultures to integrate with the West. Now they may not be totally to blame, but the experience is common throughout Europe and the UK.
Richard,
Is this an admission that your post the other day (‘careful with that meat cleaver’), in which you proposed an outright ban on Muslim immigration to New Zealand, was a completely crap post?
By the way, the car burnings in Sweden are being carried out by white supremists (or supremacists as they are usually called these days). So we whites (Christians) are not holier than thou.
Car burning s by white supremacists? Believe that and you’ll believe whatever the media feeds you.
Brendan, my point is that New Zealand *is* a multicultural society, but not a multicultural society of the type that exists in the UK and Europe. So it is wrong to misidentify the problem as multiculturalism per se when multiculturalism is doing otherwise fine elsewhere in the world where there are different cultures in the mix.
Yes, and my point is that Cameron, Merkel and Sarkozy should speak of “Islamic culture’s incompatibility with western cultural values of liberty, and democracy” *explicitly* instead of abusing the politically correct term ‘multiculturalism’ as a *euphemism* for the aforementioned. Also, they should let the leaders of the Swedish government know. According to the Daily Mail
No. And I proposed an indefinite moratorium on Muslim immigration *to the West* (not just NZ) *in conjunction with* a complete withdrawal of Western troops from Muslim countries. In other words, isolationism. Until such time as we can all get along.
from fucking Austria?
Multiculturalism in the Islamic world.

Multiculturalism – the creed that treats all cultures as equal – isn’t failing, because its aim is to cause friction and conflict and an eventual breakdown of the West. It’s working perfectly.
Evidence, please.
“Multi-culturalism not failing”? Wishful thinking.
As a previous poster said, the multi-cult is different from multi-racial.
islam has no interest in liberalism, gender/sexual equality, other religions or integration of any kind in the UK.
We have two nations living separately. Expect sectarian conflict far worse than Northern Ireland within 10 years.
