Multicultural left on the defensive
In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris, NewBostonPost Editor Jennifer C. Braceras penned an opinion piece laying out the failures of multiculturalism as a policy in Western democracies. Multiculturalism is a deliberate effort to discourage immigrants from assimilating to the culture of the country to which they emigrated. Although the original intent of this policy was designed to protect the sensitivities of the immigrant population, it has resulted at best in segregated societies and at worst towns and neighborhoods that are crime-riddled terrorist breeding grounds where police are afraid to enter.
As Braceras's column correctly noted, in many Western nations, multicultural policies have created segregated ethnic enclaves that have become incubators of radical Islam. It is a real and genuine problem – one that has been identified by European heads of state, including British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
