Multiculturalism gone awry

http://www.nationalpost.com/commenta...E3043DCA11D%7D

The above article from Canada's National Post explains how multiculturalism in Europe and Australia increasingly means respecting immigrants' attitudes towards things like rape and murder. According to a Norwegian professor, 65% of rapes in Norway are committed by Muslim immigrants, coming from societies where rape considered is the woman's fault.

So Muslim immigrants to Norway should be made aware that things are a little different in Scandinavia? Not at all! Rather, the professor insisted, "Norwegian women must take their share of responsibility for these rapes" because their manner of dress would be regarded by Muslim men as inappropriate. "Norwegian women must realize that we live in a multicultural society and adapt themselves to it." Or to modify Queen Victoria's wedding-night advice to her daughter: Lie back and think of Yemen.

The Nat'l Post author then extends the rape analogy, as multiculturalists sometimes say America was "asking for it" and got its just due on 9/11.

For years conservatives have been saying that multiculturalism is an abomination because it leads to lack of moral clarity. I've always thought "whose morals?" but it would appear that even the worst-case "conservative family values" might be a better choice, in the long run, than the confusion that comes up with justifcations of rape and murder.
