The Council of Europe, guardian of the European convention on human rights, has backed the growing number of heads of government denouncing multiculturalism as a failure, warning that it poses a threat to security.

“As we understand it now, multiculturalism allows parallel societies to develop within states,” said Thorbjørn Jagland, secretary-general of the council, in an interview with the Financial Times.

“This must be stopped. It is also clear that some parallel societies have developed radical ideas that are dangerous. Terrorism cannot be accepted.”

Mr Jagland came to the defence of Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, David Cameron, UK prime minister, and Nicolas Sarkozy, French president, who have all warned recently that the tradition of encouraging diverse cultures to live side-by-side has damaged national identity and helped to promote the radicalisation of immigrant youth.

Mr Cameron went so far as to say that a new, more “muscular liberalism” was needed that barred government aid to groups that did not share Britain’s liberal values.

The comments by European leaders have been welcomed by groups on the far right, who see their hardline positions on immigration, race and security justified by the apparent shift in mainstream politics to the right. However, they have sparked an outcry from the left and from Muslim groups, who see themselves targeted by the references.

Mr Jagland said the European leaders had opened an “important debate” that needed to be pursued. “We must be careful that we do not misunderstand multiculturalism, because diversity of cultures is desirable,” he said. “But we need to focus on what will hold our society together.”

  1. These morons now state was everybody with half a brain has been saying for the past 30 years? Please, please, please, get rid of them.

  2. In theory, multiculturalism works, but only just in theory.

    Once you include Muslims into the equation, then all bets are off.

    Islam brainwashes its followers into hard-line beliefs that Islam is to be the only ideology on the planet some day. They are told that Islam is the best possible way of living and all others are inferior. They are taught that Muslims are far superior than anyone else. Finally, they are also given the green light (no pun intended) to wage war on all that their leaders (clerics and the like) tell them to. They can practice lying, cheating and other methods of deceit to gain the upper hand. All of this is sanctioned by their so-called holy books.

    To criticize these insane tenets is to court death at the hands of your neighbors. To leave the cult is to actually place your life in the hands of others who will do whatever they can to get you to return, or kill you if you don’t.

    But this is getting away from the point that the Council of Europe has stated that multiculturalism is now pretty much dead. And it was killed by a too-tolerant left which has enabled terrorism to grow on European soil directed against all that Europe stands for: freedom, equality among people and the desire to prevent WWIV from happening on their lands.

    Multiculturalists who advocate for including all cultures within the west forget that Islam is opposed to everything that the west represents, and its followers are either mute bystanders or leaders and members of sleeper cells of terrorists and/or criminal gangs.

    Welcome to WWIV, lefties, its here and in full bloom right on your doorstep.
