This is no surprise to most of us. We know that most muslims do not want to assimilate into our culture and way of life. They instead demand that they be allowed to practice their gutter religion no matter how barbaric and inhumane it is.

Europe’s obviously short-sighted and not very well thought out plan to solve their problem of declining birth rates among its citizens by allowing millions of uneducated muslims from north Africa and the middle east to immigrate to their countries has been an utter disaster, which even the elites are finally starting to realize.

These ungrateful leeches are bankrupting social services while continually demanding more largess from the taxpayers, and demanding that the various countries they live in allow them to impose Sharia law, rather than abide by the laws that have governed these countries for over a century. They already have “muslim only” neighborhoods in large cities where non-muslims are not welcome and don’t dare go into for fear of bodily harm. Even the police won’t go into these places because they fear for their safety.

Unfortunately for Europe, it’s probably too late now to do anything about it, other than to not allow any more muslims to emigrate.

Here’s an excellent article about the failures of multiculturalism by Dr. Thomas Sowell-

The Multicultural Cult

By Thomas Sowell

Somebody eventually had to say it — and German chancellor Angela Merkel deserves credit for being the one who had the courage to say it out loud. Multiculturalism has “utterly failed.”

Multiculturalism is not just a recognition that different groups have different cultures. We all knew that, long before multiculturalism became a cult that has spawned mindless rhapsodies about “diversity,” without a speck of evidence to substantiate its supposed benefits.

In Germany, as in other countries in Europe, welcoming millions of foreign workers who insist on remaining foreign has created problems so obvious that only the intelligentsia could fail to see them. It takes a high IQ to evade the obvious.

“We kidded ourselves for a while,” Chancellor Merkel said, but now it was clear that the attempt to build a society where people of very different languages and cultures could “live side-by-side” and “enjoy each other” has “failed, utterly failed.”

This is not a lesson for Germany alone. In countries around the world, and over the centuries, peoples with jarring differences in language, cultures and values have been a major problem and, too often, sources of major disasters for the societies in which they co-exist.

Even the tragedies and atrocities associated with racial differences in racist countries have been exceeded by the tragedies and atrocities among people with clashing cultures who are physically indistinguishable from one another, as in the Balkans or Rwanda.

Among the ways that people with different cultures have managed to minimize frictions have been (1) mutual cultural accommodations, even while not amalgamating completely, and (2) living separately in their own enclaves. Both of these approaches are anathema to the multicultural cultists.

Expecting any group to adapt their lifestyles to the cultural values of the larger society around them is “cultural imperialism” according to the multicultural cult. And living in separate neighborhoods is considered to be so terrible that there are government-financed programs to take people from high-crime slums and put them in subsidized housing in middle-class neighborhoods.

Multiculturalists condemn people’s objections to transplanting hoodlums, criminals and dysfunctional families into the midst of people who may have sacrificed for years to be able to escape from living among hoodlums, criminals and dysfunctional families.
