I think you need to be careful conflating multiculturalism with Islam. You can think that Islam can't integrate, and still think multiculturalism on the whole is a positive thing.

Multiculturalism works fine as along as there is simliar values and virtues as well as mutual respect and tolerance between cultures. You couldn't expect a culture that embodies freedom and equality to mesh well with a culture that's repressive and bigoted.
Thriving here as well and I live in a red state.
Define multiculturalism as you see it.

I voted yes but not as an experiment,its not working because there isn't intergration,what we have here in the UK are people who have emigrated here and created a replica of the dump they came from,a backward culture that has no intention of integrating with anyone.
This is not multiculturalism by any standard and already a problem not just in the UK but Europe too,the more we ignore it the worse it will get.
The problem is though,if you speak out about it your a bigot or racist for pointing out the problem,the time will come when it will not be words unfortunately.

Would you mind just summing those videos up in a sentence or two of your own words?

Too vague a question accompanied by a stupid poll.

They have opened up Pandora’s Box and do not know how to reseal the lid.

The poll results at this time are, 5 for Yes, 19 for No and two for Not sure. We will see which way this alters in future.
Well, no.
But to address the other question of whether multiculturalism is a failed thing, it may well be. The "melting pot" of cultural diversity seems to lead to more and more discrimination every year.
That's not multiculturalism, just anti-Islam rhetoric.
That you, that was an interesting interview.
I think he misses the point, though, extending "multiculturalism" to people and labelling them "multiculturalist." The ideology is intended for societies, not individuals. The individual who does not believe in multiculturalism may be as much a part of the multiculturalist society as the one who does.

I missed the links to the idiot at large Pat Condell..
This thread was a waste of time.
Multiculturalism is not even an experiment........for ****'s sake. I doubt the intelligence of anyone who believes such garbage.
Jaiket got it right. It just is. If you don't understand that.......than you don't understand much of humanity and it's history.
