Has Multiculturalism Failed?
Prime Minister David Cameron has launched a devastating attack on 30 years of multiculturalism in Britain, warning it is fostering extremist ideology and contributing to Islamic terrorism.
Signalling a radical departure from the strategies of previous governments, Mr. Cameron says that Britain must adopt a policy of “muscular liberalism” to enforce the values of equality, law and freedom of speech across all parts of society. He warns Muslim groups that if they fail to endorse women’s rights or promote integration, they will lose all government funding. All immigrants to Britain must speak English and schools will be expected to teach the country’s common culture.
