1:52:14Now PlayingThe video of the public debate 'Multiculturalism in the UK: Has it any future?' has been uploaded to youtube. The public debate was held in the UK Parliament on the 9th May 2013 with politicians, academics, philosophers, journalists, writers and thinkers.
The debate was organised to answer David Cameron's speech claiming Multiculturalism had failed. While everyone on the panel discussed the success of multiculturalism and 'tolerance', Abdullah al Andalusi provided the dissenting voice arguing that Western multiculturalism is not actually tolerant, but rather merely tolerates variety UNDER a Liberal worldview. Liberal multiculturalism may allow different races, foods and secondary languages, but it does not tolerate different values, laws or worldviews amongst its minorities.
Abdullah posited the Islamic alternative, using historical examples, that granted REAL multiculturalism to minorities. Abdullah suggested that Europe could do well to embrace the Islamic approach to treating minorities.
Suffice to say, I was the one who rocked the boat. Many of my fellow panellists (including the MP) argued that tolerance should be limited, and many things should not be tolerated. See the video to find out what happened.
