State Multiculturalism Has Failed, Says David Cameron -- BBC
David Cameron has criticised "state multiculturalism" in his first speech as prime minister on radicalisation and the causes of terrorism.
At a security conference in Munich, he argued the UK needed a stronger national identity to prevent people turning to all kinds of extremism.
He also signalled a tougher stance on groups promoting Islamist extremism.
The speech angered some Muslim groups, while others queried its timing amid an English Defence League rally in the UK.
As Mr Cameron outlined his vision, he suggested there would be greater scrutiny of some Muslim groups which get public money but do little to tackle extremism.

My Comment: One thing that I have always admired about the US and Canada is that both countries strongly promote the idea of having a melting pot of immigrants. Unfortunately .... immigrants from predominantly Muslim nations do not share this point view, and as a result .... at least in my part of the world (i.e. Montreal) .... ghettos have formed in which Muslims predominate. As a result, concerns about Islamic extremism now exist in Canada, which have been further amplified by recent arrests of Muslims who have been planning massive terror attacks. While I do not know from personal experience if this is the same in England, I do know that from what I have read and from my own experiences of traveling abroad .... I am sure that this is also happening there. Hence .... Prime Minister Cameron's concerns about Islamic extremism and how such philosophies are being developed and promoted in England.
I know that supporters of multiculturalism will not agree with my assessment .... unfortunately .... from what I see with my own eyes .... I wish I was wrong .... but I know that I am not. As to PM Cameron's further contention that some of these Muslim ghettos may promote Islamic terrorism and jihad .... sighhhh .... when you read stories like this one, you know that you have a problem.
Update: Prime Minister Cameron is not the only leader who realizes that immigrants from Islamic countries do not integrate well in their new country. This leader has realized that there is a problem, as well as this one.
