The problem with Islam

One of the problems of the concept of "multiculturalism" is that it doesn't really exist in a long-lasting form. When you put people who are different around each other, then it almost inevitably leads to conflict, especially when it's in large numbers. It's a nice thought, but it does not pan out too well in the real world.

Disagree, but then I live in Canada, an officially multicultural country.

It works great there because it's been handled differently. That's not multiculturalism in the sense of what's going on in Europe right now. It's more of a slow assimilation into a single overriding culture, which would be possible in Europe as well if the numbers of people being brought in weren't so large. I'd say that the greater the differences between two (or more) cultures, the longer it takes to assimilate people to the degree that those cultures can mesh into one overriding culture.

Edit: This post has a list of studies related to multiculturalism and its effects on social trust and other factors that are neat and worth reading on their own outside of this discussion - https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2016...eference-list/
