Is There A Future For Multiculturalism?

Speaker(s): Dr Jonathan Chaplin, Alan Craig, Claire Fox, Professor Tariq Modood
Chair: Jane Little
Recorded on 20 October 2011 in Old Theatre, Old Building.

Recent years have seen politicians and commentators of all stripes lining up to condemn multiculturalism. This event asks whether we are right to bury state multiculturalism, having once praised it so energetically. The debate coincides with the launch of Multiculturalism: a Christian retrieval from Theos.

Jonathan Chaplin is the first director of the Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics.

Alan Craig is the leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance. Until May 2010 he also led the CPA councillors on Newham Borough Council in London.

Claire Fox is director of the Institute of Ideas.

Tariq Modood is director of the Centre for Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship at the University of Bristol.

Jane Little is a writer and broadcaster, regularly presenting Woman's Hour, Sunday, Last Word, and The World Tonight on BBC Radio 4. After a Fulbright Scholarship at Harvard to study the relationship between religion and politics in the US she worked as a producer and reporter on The World at WGBH Boston, before returning to create the post of religious affairs correspondent at the BBC World Service.

Ever notice that the third-rate idiots, whom of which advocate multiculturalism are bitches and fags? Homosexuals and women destroy systems. There is an old saying in the Black Community : Never Leave the Bitch in Charge - words to live by. The world economy was growing at an unprecedented levels during the mid 1800's - 1960's. Then, inside of one generation Liberalism (Fagism) has brought the entire economy to a standstill. Fuck these twats! They are full of shit!

[VeryHugeAss]

I hope there is no future for multiculturalism. Multiculturalism has failed. It is nothing more than a Jewish conspiracy. Jews want their homeland (Israel) which should be strickly for them, and them alone. Yet, they advocate multiculturalism for evey other country.

Oh so we need to learn about Multiculturalism and tolerance from the Religious folks? That's such a joke!... the possibility of a society where many ethnicities and faiths can coexist is simply there because of people who don't take their religion seriously.... and we know what happens when you add people who take their religions too seriously to the mix! Get rid of religion and you can have civilization...
