Back in 2015, Hamtramck in Michigan became the first American city to elect a Muslim-majority council. Naturally, liberals celebrated this milestone for multiculturalism, while leading media outlets hailed it as a triumphant success. “Residents in Hamtramck from different religious and cultural backgrounds coexist in harmony,” beamed the BBC.
Sadly, however, this verdict may now need to be reconsidered. Because Hamtramck’s Muslim council has just voted to ban Pride flags: the rainbow-coloured symbols of the LGBT community.
For the Guardian – which had previously run articles hailing Hamtramck’s “multicultural populace” – this development appears to have come as a terrible shock. Local liberals, it reported at the weekend, had initially welcomed the election of the Muslim council as “a meaningful rebuke” of Donald Trump and his “Islamophobic rhetoric”. Yet now they could only look on “in dismay” as “Muslim residents packing city hall erupted in cheers after the council’s unanimous vote”.

Their version of multiculturalism is having a diverse spectrum of cultures that all embrace their strict liberal agenda.
What a sea-change that would be.
But... no. Highly doubtful. Not until some A-list celebrities start whining about it. Which won’t be happening.
Venezuelans and Cubans rejected the agenda of the Democratic Party to vote red in Florida.
NO. Leftists see NO downside to multiculturalism.
The neo-marxist enemy has always been white, Christian tradition and society
There is a certain kind of liberal who already sees the downside, but is too proud to ever admit they made yet another dumb mistake. So the programs will continue as long as guilt induced funding remains available.
TV Shows can acts this way too. I recall Lena Dunham’s show
“Girls”. You recall Lena, Obama’s friend. Lena’s show had been declining in popularity for years, yet they kept in on, perhaps just to keep force feeding more of her wacky progressive ideas to viewers.
Multiculturalism creates a low trust society which might help Liberals in their drive to destroy a constitutional republic and public decency.
Maybe they are starting to realize it will also destroy their ideas for a new society.
1. They thought musliims would support the entire left wing agenda.
2. They thought Trump didn't want unrestricted muslim immigration from all countries, not just the few terrorist countries he specified. This city council's muslims are moral conservatives—at least on this issue.
Aww, poor babies! Reading is hard!
Not a win for conservatives, as those same Muslims will all vote Marxist in every election.
…Because Hamtramck’s Muslim council has just voted to ban Pride flags…
Laughed out loud reading this. Literally. 😂
“Are liberals starting to see a downside to multiculturalism?”
Yeah, whenever they get their ass whupped, car jacked, relieved of their cellphones and wallet, etc in their “safe” tony neighborhoods.
The nightmare of multiculture will be apparent when TSHTF. Every culture will take care of itself and could care less for anyone else.
At this point I’m PERFECTLY HAPPY with Islamic Immigrants standing up against the Grooming of our kids, since the Democrats are doing it and the Republicans don’t want to fight them since their (mostly) gay ‘advisors’ tell them fighting the Grooming of kids is ‘divisive’.
JACK: Take a deep breath and hold it right before we go into the multicultural abyss! The multiculturalism will suck us down, but it is worth it! Kick for the life we want with no borders, and keep kicking! Don’t let go of my hand! We’re gonna make it to the promised land of the "No Human Being Is Illegal" sign we have on our front lawn, Rose! Trust me!
The Leftists who aren't the "Useful Idiot" types are feathering their beds with ill-gotten gains so they can buy their way into a lifeboat.
” Lena’s show had been declining in popularity for years, yet they kept in on, perhaps just to keep force feeding more of her wacky progressive ideas to viewers.”
I recall it although I never watched it. However, you are right. Much like Disney and their insistence on putting millions into producing “woke” movies. They are box-office flops but they move on to the next one in order to push a progressive narrative.
Liberals are, after all idiots with no sense of reality. What will they say when their Muslim buddies start throwing gays off rooftops?
The Left has thought they were using the Islamists to do their bidding, but it turns out the other way around.
Nope. I’ve yet to see any evidence that any liberal is capable of admitting a mistake.
They’re too self righteous and arrogant for that.
They are religious conservatives.
On everything else - they are standard issue Democratic Party totalitarians.
The GOP should not waste one minute, or one dollar, trying to find common ground with these folks.
