Multiculturalism is not in adopting styles and morality of other cultures, but in being aware of them. It would be inappropriate to adopt all moral systems just because other societies practice them. One example: should we promote FGM just because it is widely practiced in Africa, ?

Exactly. Apparently, Ginsberg didn't look to the Egyptian courts when it came to seeking guidance from the international community concerning gays.
Very selective in which international laws to emulate, I'd say.
