Multiculturalism

In my post The Bench on the Left I argued that Archbishop Williams’ statement that incorporation of some Shari’a law into our own was ‘inevitable’, was simply multiculturalism gone mad, like the call for an end to the blasphemy laws. Now, after a million words of outrage the dust has settled and opinion formers are beginning to agree.

Here is Janet Daley in the Telegraph ‘The archbishop has discredited not just himself, and the über-tolerant multicultural lobby that he sought to support, but the position of the established Church.’

And an astonishing U-turn from leftie Johann Hari in the Independent: ‘Rowan Williams has shown us one thing – why multiculturalism must be abandoned’
