Multiculturalism

And yet actually, that's more than one culture. So "Actually, that's more than one culture" would have been quite a sensible answer.

Would that be the French that banned the burqa, or a different French?I can't find anything in the paper about "maintaining sub-cultures despite the host culture's effects of dwindling them"?

Sounds suspiciously multicultural to me. What with the different cultures and all.

Er ... weren't the Bosnian massacres of Muslims rather than by them?As far as I can find out, Bosnia is currently rather lovely. People go there for the skiing. For some reason Bosnia's 45% Muslim population don't massacre them. Yeah, about that. And yet ..."According to a 2010 survey, religion today plays an important role in the lives of only 39% of Albanians, and Albania is ranked among the least religious countries in the world." --- WP."The Constitution of Albania provides for freedom of religion, and the Government has generally respected this right in practice. There have been no reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious beliefs or practice. In data collected by sociologists Brian Grim and Roger Finke Albania scored low on Government Regulation of Religion, Social Regulation of Religion, Government Favoritism of Religion and Religious Persecution." --- WP.No mention of the "unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions" of which you speak, nor the imposition of the jizya.What is Dr. Peter Hammond a doctor of?

I read the paper.

But such a principle has never applied in this case. A testator of any religion could always leave more money to son A than to daughter B, and none to son C 'cos of him being an apostate. It's the testator's money. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but nor is it some unheard of novelty that now, for the first time ever, people can make wills that you wouldn't approve of.

There is no new law. There are no different laws. As the practice note from the Law Society states: There is also nothing preventing them from disposing of their assets in the manner decreed on the Pillars of Hammurabi. It does not take a new law, or a different law, to allow them to do that. It just takes care in the drafting of the will. The practice note is about how to draft the will so as to make succession sharia-compliant.

Well, let's agree that it's OK as a voluntary procedure performed on an adult ...

Um ... but it would say more about the "intellectual emptiness and moral ennui of the modern liberal man" if this hadn't happened under a conservative government, if charter schools weren't a pet idea of conservatives, and if "the modern liberal man" hadn't said FUCK THAT SHIT when they found out about it. Where this is coming from is a report which said those schools were awful, where the schools were ordered to change or face closure, and everyone, especially "the modern liberal man", agreed wholeheartedly. Do you really suppose that there'd even be such a thing as a "state-run Church of England school" if the left had their way? In your experience, are state subsidies for a state religion the sort of thing that lefties are particularly keen on?Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

Well, I guess we might wonder if his unsupported say-so is in fact "information". If there's anything in his screed that you can reference from reputable sources, why don't you do that? If not, then he himself isn't much of a reference, since he isn't so much a scholar as a habitual liar.

Well, his habit of being, y'know, grossly wrong, means we probably shouldn't take his word for stuff.

Or true. Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

Yeah, yeah, multiculturalism means whatever you want it to mean.Two can play at that game. Opposition to multiculturalism is burning crosses on people's lawns. Any questions?

No, that's prescriptive. 'Cos of telling people what to do.
