Is polygamy acceptable? The French legal instances prefer to avoid the issue; same with the veil, and that in a country where "laicité" is supposed to be an iron principle – particularly on the Left. Same with arranged marriages, sexual mutilation of girls, etc. – all implicitly, if not formally tolerated in the name of "tolerance" – open mindedness to the extreme…

Massive immigration with political correctness doesn't work out very well at all. Not all people coming in wish to assimilate ---some wish to impose their culture instead. Immigration doesn't always mean assimilation into the established culture.

I have no problem with immigrants maintaining the parts of their culture that are not in conflict with our laws, but that is where I draw the line and this is where weak kneed Europeans have gone wrong.

I think that they misjudged the controllability (is that a word?) of the Islamic immigrants. The leftist thought to use the Muslims to strengthen their own interests and break the back of any capitalistic opposition, but it has boomeranged as the title states.
