Look again at all the merits of multi-culturalism

This is an outstanding article. I hope that it gets lots of press here in Canada. Since Pierre Trudeau introduced multi-culturalism in the '70's Canadians have indeed regarded all cultures as different but equal. This article raises valid questions around that principle, particularly since Islam is seen as a religion and makes its demands on the basis of religious freedom, not political freedom. Makes me wonder how we'd accept Nazism if it had a religious component to it. Thanks again for a great article.
