Acknowledging the danger of microbes and death, a Department of Health spokesman said, "The guidance is intended to . . . balance infection control measures with cultural beliefs." But, believe it or not, from a culturist perspective, the death of some patients is not the main cause for concern that this policy elicits.
The most dangerous problem is that this policy encodes multiculturalism not culturism. Whereas culturism acknowledges that England has a majority culture to protect and promote, this multiculturalist policy implicitly says that England has no core culture. It says that the nation can be whatever pressure groups decide it is. It, therefore, officially ends the dominance of English culture in England. This is very dangerous.
If you think this hyperbole, consider its potential impact on schools. If we are going to implement policies that recognize and give legal standing to balkanize our culture, we must think it through. This legal precedent may require us to set up schools in which Islamic teachings are taught. If that seems extreme, keep in mind that multiculturalism has currently made it nearly a firing offense to criticize Islam in our schools.
When we encode multiculturalist school policy, we have a recursive loop of disaster. When we cannot criticize Islam, we cannot teach that much of western history has been about fighting Islam. We must erase the concept that our defending Europe against Islamic invasion was a boon for the West that led the way to the Enlightenment and, ultimately, our political freedoms. And when our school children are taught not to value our western culture, they will not feel any sense of pride, have reasons for the civic virtues that make England strong, or a desire to protect their homeland.

Excellent post.
As a Brit I am very concerned re these developments. I think that a lot of other English voters are too.
The upcoming election will do nothing to reverse the trend toward Islam nor indeed the EU's policy of wiping England off the map.
AS a traditional Conservative voter I can only hope they win and keep Labour out. Another 5 years of Gordon Brown is so depressing.
The Tories will NOT address the problem though. I am afraid the only political party in England that will is the BNP.
I can only hope that they make an impact and gain at least half a dozen seats in parliament. That way they will have enough presence to keep raising the issues, to be a thorn in the side of the others and to gain publicity for their policies.

Very strange.
Great post, CJ.
You said: Acknowledging the danger of microbes and death, a Department of Health spokesman said, "The guidance is intended to . . . balance infection control measures with cultural beliefs." But, believe it or not, from a culturist perspective, the death of some patients is not the main cause for concern that this policy elicits. The most dangerous problem is that this policy encodes multiculturalism not culturism.
I say: I say, it is like that, to the extent anyone in government would admit there is a problem here, they would say it is a problem of science bending to multiculturalism, not of culurism bending to multiculturalism.
What is your answer to that?
"Balance infection control with cultural beliefs" is cowardly doublespeak for "balance the deaths of patients with the need to avoid offending intellectually atavistic savages". Having contracted one of the "superbugs" during a hospital stay some years back -- a milder form before it mutated into something that could kill me if I catch it again -- my advice to any patient who encounters a person entrusted with their medical care who is refusing to observe these sanitation measures because of their "culture" is to raise as much hell as you would if someone walked into your room and pointed a gun at you. REFUSE to be treated by such a person. I mean up to and including threatening to call the police, an attorney, and the local news media. Do NOT under any circumstances take this sort of a risk. Getting acused of "racism" by some asshat is nothing compared to literally risking your life because of PC/MC.
Culturist John,
Even ignoring everything else the sensible thing to do would still be to tell these women no. If they think that washing hands around others is so bad, than they shouldn't be allowed in the medical profession in the first place. People might die because these women are allowed to put their religious convictions above the lives of their patients.
Ray Boyd,
I'm not British and this still ticks me off. So I can understand why it upsets you so much, and it should.
Pastorius,
I would say that it is both Multiculturalism bending to culturism and science bending to multiculturalism. The second one, the one you came up with, is one I had not thought of and it is super interesting.
People say that science is a universal. I think not. People use it for different purposes or ignore it. Science is an earned and maintained state. This is a great example and it got right by me.
Take this to its logical conclusion and we are back to the 14th century in medicine. Yes? The scary thing is this isn't Sudan leaving science for religion, it is one of the West's core cultures.
Thanks, John
That is truly scary. As Mark Alexander says, we are entering a new dark age.
