Multiculturalism is EVIL.

Why? Because it assumes all cultures are equally valid or at least worthy of (governmental) protection. Objectively, many cultures are poisonous, evil, vile, self-corrupting, etc. If all cultures were equal then all incomes, lifestyles, and outcomes would be equal. Simply let all cultures compete for the hearts and minds of the populace and may the best one win.

Multiculturalism is not couscous; it is the stoning of adulterers.

Are William Shakespeare and a Middle East suicide bomber culturally equivalent?

In some cultures they love their relatives, in others they eat them. Do you have a preference?

Every multiculturalist believes - whether he knows it or not - that it is right:
- to force young girls into marriages they don't want
- to deprive them of the schooling and careers that they do want
- to regard them as prostitutes if they leave their abusive husbands
- to punish, even to kill, those who cross cultural and religious boundaries.

They don't eat clowns in any culture. That's because they taste funny. :o)

Hell no! William Shakespeare is just another dead white European male.

"Multiculturalism is EVIL."

I second that emotion. How do all these over-pampered, princess-mentality'd feminists and libs fall for the multicultural con when so many cultures they fawn over would hack them to death for being as liberated as they are?

That they are blinded fools (a la the Bible), is the only explanation I can come with that fits the facts.

Excellent points!
Can we get some islamo-apologists-pests to weigh in here and enlighten us like they usually do? I'm sure there's a logical explanation, or maybe we could compare it to the Salem witch-hunts, or some other stupid shibboleth.
These maniacs are no real threat, except to themselves. if we banned all news of there actions for 6 months, they'd dry up and go away.

Good point. I'd say that they were about as equivalent as Hafez and Timothy McVeigh.
