义模式已经失败了”

A prominent voice in Canada’s Muslim community said British Prime Minister
David Cameron was “spot on” when he insisted British multiculturalism has
failed.
And just like Britain, Canada’s will fail, said Muslim Canadian Congress
founder Tarek Fatah.
He said Monday that, like Britain, Canada has been too tolerant in allowing
Muslim immigrants to settle into closed communities, some of which preach
Islamic values and a hatred toward the West.
“The Canadian multicultural model has failed, as the British model has,”
said Fatah. “When first generation (Muslims) are more loyal to Canada than
the second generation, then we have sufficient evidence to say that
multiculturalism has failed.”
Citing the Toronto 18 terrorist plot as an example of the extremism that can
result from ethnic isolation, Fatah said he hoped Canada can “pick up on”
the points Cameron made in a controversial speech on Saturday.
While speaking at a security conference in Germany, Cameron called for an
end to Britain’s “passive tolerance” of divided ethnic communities. He
also said beefing up was needed in the prevention of extremism.
Fatah said Canada’s Liberal and Conservative governments push a tolerant,
passive form of multiculturalism as a way of preserving votes.
“The newcomer finds solace in his or her own community,” said Fatah, “and
when there is states-sponsored multiculturalism, there are people who make
money out of the marginalization of these people.”
Multiculturalism in Canada hasn’t failed, countered Bernie Farber of the
Canadian Jewish Congress. But pockets of younger immigrants — particularly
Muslims — have been slow to integrate into a Canadian way of life.
“(They) are not moving forward as quickly as we did in generations past,”
said Farber. “You can have a large population of Muslims living in one area
, and they have not yet seemed to be able to break out entirely from that
one area and become part of the Canadian fabric.” |
