Huffington Post Runs Article Entitled, "How “Multiculturalism at all Costs” Has Cost us Lives"

From Imam Tawhidi (The Imam of Peace) at the Puff Ho:

It can be very challenging to examine the reality of the threat of Islamic extremism and the philosophy behind its existence, along with what motivates a mother to send her young children to a Church or Synagogue to blow themselves up in a suicide attack. 

Muslims like myself and Non-Muslims alike have sought to understand the reality behind this continuous hate and threat which is directed towards all of us. 

The Doctrine of Multiculturalism 

In a world of clashing political ideologies, certain doctrines have been entrenched as articles of faith. Among these is the doctrine of multiculturalism. 

In itself, multiculturalism is a practical and humane policy, for any decent society to embrace. I have stated in recent times, during my speeches and appearances on National Media, that the West does not need to prove to the rest of the world that it is supportive of multiculturalism. 

Our strong nations have been built upon diversity. However, the question here is, is it healthy to pursue an approach of “multiculturalism at all costs”? 

The tolerant majorities of the West have been very accepting of successive waves of immigrants from a wide range of ethnic and religious backgrounds. And almost exclusively within a single generation the newcomers have integrated into the mainstream. 

While large numbers of Muslims have made this successful adjustment, a large minority have not. 

As decades have now passed since large scale Muslim immigration to the West began, one must ask, what is different about this particular community from all the previous waves of immigrants? I can speak with some authority on this matter. 

Why are the “multiculturalism at all costs” supporters silent on the risks to our society? 

In light of the shocking events of recent times, their silence is perplexing to me. With hundreds of Australians, Americans and Europeans known to be fighting with extremist groups in the Middle East, one must ask how they can pretend that there is not “an elephant in the room” in the form of a domestic base for radical Islamic extremism?

GO READ THE REST.
