Multiculturalism

Lord Tebbit, a former Tory government minister, has been recently making
comments about multiculturalism. This is a topic about which he attracted
some criticism [needless to say] many years ago, when he mentioned a
'cricket test' to see where immigrant communities' loyalties really lie.
Last week, in an interview on the ePolitix website and regarding the 7/7
bombings, Lord Tebbit said:
'I do not think had my comments been acted on those attacks would have
been less likely. What I was saying about the so-called "cricket test" is
that it was a test of whether a community has integrated.
If a community was looking back at where it had come from instead of
looking forward with the people to whom they had come to, then there is
going to be a problem sooner or later.'
And:
'A multicultural society is an impossibility. If you have two cultures in
one society then you have two societies. If you have two societies in the
same place then you are going to have problems, like the kind we saw on July
7, sooner or later.'
Regarding Islam, Lord Tebbit said:
'The religion is so unreformed since it was created that nowhere in the
Muslim world has there been any real advance in science or art or literature
or technology in the last 500 years.'
On Friday last week, Lord Tebbit gave an interview in which he expanded upon
his views:
'We've generated home-grown suicide bombers through a combination of the
permissive society, which is the ugly and uncivilised society, together with
a Muslim population that is deeply rooted in its own moral code and unable
to see the defects in its own society.
Put these two together and it is an explosive mixture.
We can't have a multicultural society. Our culture is what defines a
society, so if we have two cultures we have two societies living in the same
territory. That's a recipe for trouble.
We've got it in an extreme form here because of the interaction of the
refusal to stand up for our own culture and also the worthless nature of
some aspects of it.'
He continued:
'The conflict is when the moral code of Muslims comes into contact with
the depravity of our inner-cities. They are supposed to be loyal to a
Government which when faced with drunkenness extends the licensing hours and
when faced with a wave of teenage abortions introduces more sex education in
schools which may require a young Muslim to role-play as a homosexual
father.'
Lord Tebbit argued that Muslims should have been taught 'what is good in
this country - its history, its traditions, its tolerance, its democratic
system'. He continued:
'What we've taught them instead is if they go out with a strict moral code
late at night he sees drunken, vomiting, foul-mouthed youth abusing
themselves and anyone else within range and he sees a culture in which we
have generated an enormous amount of teenage pregnancies and
irresponsibility.
And he's not going to integrate into that, is he?'
Lord Tebbit is making some good points. It is of course not the case that
some Muslims became suicide bombers because of Britain's yob culture and
there are very many non-Muslims who deplore the breakdown in law and order.
Muslims do have the additional problems integrating which their religion
brings, and that is the key factor.
But Lord Tebbit has completely ignored the effects of political correctness.
The Loony Left first impacted upon the political scene in the UK in the
early 1980s, under Ken Livingstone in London. It is now 25 years later.
Over these last 25 years schoolchildren have been taught the wonders of
anti-racist maths etc, year after year. A whole generation has grown up
having being systematically brainwashed by the neo-communists.
A whole generation of ethnic minorities [and English people too] and the
population as a whole have been indoctrinated to believe that any attempt to
stop mass immigration is racist; that if ethnic minorities do worse at
school then it is due to racism; that the fact that ethnic minorities may be
less wealthy is because they are victims of racism; that if ethnic
minorities cannot get a job it is because of racism; that the racist English
are better off because of the slave trade and hence all their wealth is
because of racism; that if there are Palestinians being killed then it is
due to the aggression of the West and Islamophobia; that the invasion of
Afghanistan was an act of Islamophobia; that the war on terror is
Islamophobia; etc, etc and etc.
As per the March Quote of the Month [bonus] from Jacques Barzun: 'Political
correctness does not legislate tolerance; it only organizes hatred'. We are
now seeing the consequences of that.
This evil nonsense has got to be stopped and the ideology opposed and
exposed as the neo-communist sham that it is. The Politically Correct
Industry, the quangos and government departments responsible, needs to be
shut down.
