| Scotland - Us and them |
Enforced multiculturalism, moral relativism, and political correctness in the West have caused a disturbing rise in intolerance.
Did the West expect Muslims to cheerfully join in one happy multicultural family, respecting everyone's traditions?
One of the greatest causes of social unrest and warfare is not tribalism itself but the failure to acknowledge its existence.
Today's vote in Scotland, whichever way it goes, should serve as a lesson. Tribalism is innate to our human nature. We are wired this way - no matter what idealists in ivory towers tell us.
Tribalism is not just something that happens in Africa or other far away places in the world. It happens to us. Quebecois still dream of separating from Canada. Catalans want to separate from Spain. Venetians from Italy. The Flemish from Belgium. The Scots from the UK. Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine want either independence or to join Russia. And so on.

The shock of the Holocaust - Nice people like us did this
The post-World War II generations were raised to abhor racism. After all, it had just caused a genocide that killed six million Jews because of their ancestry.

Moral relativism
But instead of teaching us that it is wrong to mistreat and discriminate against other human beings because of their ethnicity, our leaders and educators expanded the concept of tolerance into all out moral relativism.

All cultures are just as good, they say. We in the West don't have the right to judge others. We don't even have the right to say that ours are better. Any failure to comply is characterized as "racist".
Multiculturalism
One of the corollaries of this moral relativism is the notion of multiculturalism. Let all the cultures that live among us act according to their traditions, because, after all, theirs are just as good as ours, and we have no right to judge or criticize.

This attempt at being so very tolerant has backfired in ways our ivory tower idealists could have never imagined.
Right in front of their moral relativist eyes erupt all kinds of injustices, abuses and even criminal acts perpetrated in the name of exotic "traditions".

Criminal activities perpetrated by Muslims have been going on for years, not only in Britain but all over Europe. It's only that "racists" dare to expose them, while "multiculturalists" pretend not to see them, or excuse them in the name of "tradition".

Politicians using multiculturalism and immigration for their own purposes
It is no longer a secret that the British Labour Party deliberately misrepresented the benefits and the extent of Asian and African immigration, so as to use the new population to bolster their voting base. It was a Labour Party insider who exposed the real motivations of his party in opening the doors to hundreds of thousands of immigrants and asylum seekers.
The upsurge in anti-Semitism
It is tragic as well as ironic that while the West preaches tolerance, it does not occur to our leaders to expect the same from migrants from other cultures. And thus we are witnessing the most dramatic rise in anti-Semitism in Europe since the Nazi years.

The upsurge in anti-Semitism
It is tragic as well as ironic that while the West preaches tolerance, it does not occur to our leaders to expect the same from migrants from other cultures. And thus we are witnessing the most dramatic rise in anti-Semitism in Europe since the Nazi years.
European Jews are getting beaten up and even murdered by European Muslims. Jews are now again hiding their ethnicity and increasing security measures at home and at their institutions, just as they did during the Nazi years.
Anti-Semitic attacks are up 400% in Britain, and have doubled in France. These figures represent an increase over those in 2013.
If we were to compare those figures to the years before the wave of Muslim immigrants came to European shores, the present figure would rise in a magnitude of many thousands per cent.
It is wrong to discriminate or to mistreat anyone - particularly based on ethnicity. But it is just as wrong to pretend that all cultural values are just as good, or to assert that we only need a little indoctrination to change our tribal human nature.
It has taken the West many centuries to arrive to a point where at least there is a body of law that tries to discern what is morally or ethically wrong, and what constitute a crime.
To throw all that away, or to ignore it in the name of just getting along ("social cohesion") invites the creation of a culture of tolerance for criminality, where foreign cultures feel entitled to abuse others or their own in the name of their own traditions.
There is no way we can harmonize conflicting feelings of outrage at Muslim violence, criminality and violation of Western values, with the imposition of politically-correct multicultural indoctrination and policies.
Muslims are causing all kinds of mayhem in the West and other parts of the world, and yet Westerners are told to refrain from criticism and to welcome additional waves of Muslim immigrants. This situation is bound to explode at some point, and it will be out of the control of governments and of those who preach multiculturalism and tolerance.

Ignoring our tribal nature will lead to more violence
We already see the rise of Neo-Nazism and other ultra-right political parties. There has always been a current of virulent racism in Europe, but it was kept mostly in check after the Second World War. What has made this ideology become mainstream is the simmering anger at what Muslim immigration has brought to the West. There is no way we can harmonize conflicting feelings of outrage at Muslim violence, criminality and violation of Western values, with the imposition of politically-correct multicultural indoctrination and policies.

Muslim Gang Rapists are Springing Up Everywhere. Why Can't We Be Honest About It?
There are complex religious and cultural reasons why Muslim men are drawn to rape in gangs, often in family units, with fathers, sons and uncles all raping the same women. But how will we ever know why this is so, and begin to tackle it, until we are honest about what's happening?

The agenda behind the UK liberal immigration policies
Labour Party immigration agenda - "borderline treason"
As disclosed by a Labour Party insider just a few years ago:
The Telegraph: The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and "rub the Right's nose in diversity", according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.
He said Labour's relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to "open up the UK to mass migration" but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its "core working class vote". As a result, the public argument for immigration concentrated instead on the economic benefits and need for more migrants.
