Nice try. Once upon a time people came to the great melting pot to assimilate (unite--there's that pesky word again) and become Americans. The system was never perfect admittedly, but the goal was noble. Any pretense of that idea has long disappeared, and people, particularily muslims have no desire to become mainstreamed in America. I live in Southeast Michigan which contains the largest muslim population outside the M.E. and I can guarantee you that that particular pluribus has no desire to unum.

"How can differences unite us?
E Pluribus Unim."

"From the many, one." That doesn't say "From the diverse many, one." We understand that among the many, there is naturally some diversity, but the Lib's idea of diversity is an artificial, contrived one. They also opperate under the false belief that by achieving this artificial "diversity" of theirs, that they then have achieved excellence (as if diversity in and of itself automatically equals excellence). You can have diversity and yet not have quality or excellence (prisons could be an example - diversity of inmates, not much excellence).
