I guess you just want security, Sidda. What is wrong with that? Humanity is naturally divided into nations, and nations are separated by borders. The truth is that we have been intimidated into accepting multi-culturalism as an absolute Truth. The name-calling is part of the strategy. 'Racist, bigot, Islamophobe', that is the strategy. Is multi-culturalism a good system? Well, Brasil is the perfect example of a no-majority nation, where everybody is mixed. I guess all the world will soon become like Brasil. The issue is that I might not want to become Islamic and you might not want to speak Spanish, Sidda. At least, you will get some good looking Latino women in the USA; we won't even get that in Europe! I am joking, of course. However, the pro-immigration, pro-multiculturalist lobbies have won all over the world. Europe will become Muslim; the USA will become a Latin-American country; Australia will become either Asian or something else. The best thing about the world is that everywhere is different.

If you, as an American, go to Paris, you want to see France; you didn't go there to see Muslim culture. Each nation is unique and each culture, language and religion is unique. Multi-culturalism would melt all our differences into a global village. Every nation will look the same and there will be nothing unique about the food, the culture, the music. Of course, I am a xenophobe, and a racist, and an Islamophobe, and a bigot, a right-winger.................I guess we were all better off 30 years ago, when each country had something distinctive about it. It was the rich & powerful vs the common people. The common people lost.
