Sowell: Will Orlando Change Anything?
Creators Syndicate ^ | June 14, 2016 | Thomas Sowell

Posted on 06/13/2016 10:15:50 AM PDT by jazusamo

However great the shock of the massacre in Orlando, it is only a matter of time before we start hearing again the fact-free dogma that "diversity is our strength."

If there is any place in the Guinness Book of World Records for words repeated the most often, over the most years, without one speck of evidence, "diversity" should be a prime candidate.

Is diversity our strength? Or anybody's strength, anywhere in the world? Does Japan's homogeneous population cause the Japanese to suffer? Have the Balkans been blessed by their heterogeneity — or does the very word "Balkanization" remind us of centuries of strife, bloodshed and unspeakable atrocities, extending into our own times?

Has Europe become a safer place after importing vast numbers of people from the Middle East, with cultures hostile to the fundamental values of Western civilization?

"When in Rome do as the Romans do" was once a common saying. Today, after generations in the West have been indoctrinated with the rhetoric of multiculturalism, the borders of Western nations on both sides of the Atlantic have been thrown open to people who think it is their prerogative to come as refugees and tell the Romans what to do — and to assault those who don't knuckle under to foreign religious standards.

The recent wave of refugees flooding into Europe include Muslim men who have been haranguing European women on the streets for not dressing modestly enough, not to mention their sexual molestation of those women.

I’ve read over and over that it was a gun free zone.

I don't approve of self-distructive behavior.

I will not say that it is a good thing.

I will try to prevent them from trying to entice other people onto that path as best I can.

But my holy book says I am suppose to try to show those people there is another way and lead them there with love.

Not try to kill them.

The new paradigm: When in Rome, force the Romans to do as you do.

I caught Mark Steyn the other day. He said, ‘You have to be selective when making your Diversity Quilt.’

Later he said, ‘This situation PROVES that you don’t put your Radical Islam Square next to your LBGT Square...’

Or something to that effect. Loved it.
