Why declare multiculturalism dead?
Our world supports six billion people each living out lives on their own trajectories. The cultural integration between peoples only increases over time.
The world is awash with mundane examples of multiculturalism working. London and New York are two beautiful examples of people of all shapes, sizes, colors and creeds living and working together happily and peacefully.
That the world produces a relative handful of potentially violent discontents - and that they, in turn, create a reactionary group that decries multiculturalism - is unfortunate, but understandable. Even acceptable.
No - plotting to blow up planes is never acceptable. The fact that this occurs, however, hardly merits a denunciation of multiculturalism.
