Sticky Notes

Teachers at a primary school have been ordered to dress up as Muslims to promote multi-culturalism.

All 257 pupils, most of whom are Christians, and 41 teachers - two of whom are Muslims - dressed up.

   

I saw this in the news.... oh, boy. Myrtus has it, too.

 Now these questions come to mind:

• If many Muslim women are not allowed an education, will there be Muslim nurses?  ( I did google a photo on MinorityNurses.com,  so I guess so)
• Will women get equal care?
• Will the doctors report spousal abuse or rape?
  

  

The Fat Lady Hasn't Sung

Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Germans on Wednesday not to bow to fears of Islamic violence after a Berlin opera house canceled a Mozart work over concerns some scenes could enrage Muslims and pose a security risk.

• Merkel's comments, which echoed those of other senior German politicians
  
• Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told reporters after the conference the participants were united in their call for the opera to restart performances of "Idomeneo."

 Read these excerpts. And this from a BBC journalist. Someone over there gets it. It's chilling. The question is, can things be reversed?

The Daily Mail(UK) -  Mr Alagiah, "one of the BBC's most senior journalists and the main presenter of the Six O'Clock News", and originally from Sri Lanka. made these statements today:

• The inner neighbourhoods are almost entirely peopled by Asians, while the whites live outside.

• The division is accentuated by the relative prosperity of the two groups. Some of the outlying villages are amongst the wealthiest 50 per cent in the country - yet nine out of 10 of the city's 24 council wards are in the poorest 10 per cent.

• That there should be such a distinct division of a city along ethnic and racial lines a generation after Britain began a legislative programme to bring about exactly the opposite outcome is staggering.  Has institutionalised tolerance for diversity led to institutional indifference to separation?

• The pattern of segregation is mirrored in Halifax, Luton, Southall, Leicester and many other cities where immigrants have settled. He adds: "Multiculturalism was the perfect excuse for those who wanted to ring-fence their communities.

• In continuing to exert control over their communities, these most conservative elements within the immigrant communities could exploit the ample opportunities afforded under multiculturalism - most notably the public funding of difference in the name of diversity.

• However you define it - whether you call it segregation or isolation, whether you think people live in ghettos or enclaves, whether you think it all comes down to race or poverty - one thing is clear: it is happening.

• You only need to take a walk in any one of the places I have mentioned to know that for hundreds of thousands of people the great dream of multiculturalism is not working.
