“Anyone who has been keeping up with British opinion since the July 7 bombings will have noticed that ‘multiculturalism’ is under sharp attack. Multiculturalism preaches that we should allow and encourage immigrants and their children to maintain and celebrate their own culture apart from the national culture. Society should be not a melting pot but, in the phrase of former New York Mayor David Dinkins, ‘a gorgeous mosaic’. That mosaic, of course, looked less gorgeous as people surveyed the work of the British-born-and-raised bombers.”
