That's what can make a multicultural society so vibrant: one country, many homelands. The differences are what make life spicy.
Indigenous populations have a right to be pissed that they are being forced to accomodate immigrant 'demands' or 'special rights' or 'allowances' that have no place in the societal structure that is already established. A little leeway here and there is expected, as adjustments need to be made but outright non assimilation? Forget it. Assimilate or leave, otherwise it's a territorial fight for a way of life.
You can only be SO liberal with that kind of thing before you find yourself swamped and sidelined in your own country.

Dear God,
What has happened to Grimm? This sounds like something I would say. And everyone knows what a right-winged nutjob I am. God, I am confused. Please explain.
Sincerely yet befuddled,

Grimm, you and I rarely agree on matters like this, but when we do agree, POW, it is spot on. Europe has a HUGE problem right now with the very things you've posted. The worst seems to be England. I bet the 300 Spartans (yes, I know there really weren't 300) are rolling in their graves knowing that the onslaught they prevented has now happened in a more politically correct fashion, and it threatening to rot Europe from its core.
I predict in 10 years time, England and France will no longer exist, to the extent that we know of it now, and what it has been historically.
I take the Australia view on this: if you can't assimilate into Aussie culture, and live by Aussie law, etc... CLEAR OFF.
