"Culture" deals with the arts, in all forms. It and a common language is the basis of national coherence. America has been Balkanized and fractured, with sublimation of past heritage. This was not always so, but it is now.
Tell me what the current ( within the past ten years ) glories of the theatre, ballet, music, art, books, movies, T.V. and POP CULTURE have been, as opposed to the vast flowering of these things in the previous century; excluding those things that aren't applicable.
An historical factoid for ya......in the 1920s, a delegation was sent to Europe, to prove to Europeans that America actually HAD a worthy culture.
I called it what it IS called! And not every African Muslin engages in the same type of female circumcision, BTW. It is NOT actually an Islamic thing, as not all Muslims engage in the practice.
You can't throw the baby out with the bath water. Not by all Americans. Some are struggling to uphold a country that was handed to us by our fathers.
I don't buy hip hop trash, or go see leftist movies by michale moore types.

This country isn't broken beyond repair...not yet. Many are working on dragging it through the dirt, I most certainly agree. But, they aren't the be all end all of Americans. The silent majority is in some type of lethargic mode. What the lynch pin will be to shake them out of their lethargy I don't know, but, it will come.

Those hold no interest for me, save books. I'm forced to read novels from yesteryear. I read on a site once talking about this very subject. It asked if an immigrant will come to our shores and see America with fresh eyes and write about it.

Looking for scraps from the table of Europe even then. Pfft. Europes lost today, their culture is being breed out and driven out. Maybe we should send a deligation there to see if they have a culture.

mohammad(piss be upon him) never forbade female mutilation.
Sheikh Gad al-Haq, said that since the Prophet did not ban female circumcision, it was permissible and, at the very least, could not be banned.[41]
It goes on in Iraq, it's quiet common. Muslims do commit female mutilation.
