I think we can go back to the “Clan of the Cave Bear” for initial impulses about civil and criminal law.

[quote=Djshakes]Multiculturalism is not just a recognition that different groups have different cultures. We all knew that, long before multiculturalism became a cult that has spawned mindless rhapsodies about “diversity,” without a speck of evidence to substantiate its supposed benefits.[/quote]

What cult of multiculturalism? I’m not aware of of such cult either.

The world is changing and the cult of multiculturalism, as it were, is a just the work of the corporations in mass marketing and market segmentation at the same time.

In the past, we were all watching 3 network TV channels.

Now we see more and more non-English TV channels. And the Internet is a brand new world in of itself.

So today, insecure English-only Americans are worried when they hear foreign language radio stations and foreign language options. They feel like they are missing out on something or that others are talking a secret language behind their backs.

Multiculturalism is just marketing expediency on on the part of the corporations and the proliferation of media is allowing the marketers to focus on different market segments. While that’s good to sell more products (and create a more vibrant economy), it can alienate some people who resent the multicultural messages not intended for them. Those folks become reactionary rhetorical immigrants bashers.

If you don’t want to receive the message foreign to you, in the future, technology will allow consumers to automatically receive messages in their own cultures and languages, ignoring what is “foreign” to them.

Culture is always changing and evolving. In the past, culture changed slowly. But technology is accelerating the change. American culture today won’t be the same 30 years from now. What’s interesting is that we will all live to see the change. That’s a good thing, IMHO.

Are you honestly going to sit and tell me Muslim women have more rights than Christian woman?

By you pointing out a couple bible versus as your source is like arguing a Yugo is better than a Mercedes because the license plate bulb lasts longer.[/quote]
The other posters have managed to get this thread to a higher level. I hope you will join them.[/quote]
Please do explain what your point was then by posting your link?[/quote]
By reminding you of the history of women as “Chattel” in the Judeo-Christian tradition, specifically connecting it to century after century of enforcement of the inferior status of women in Christendom,I thought that you might begin to challenge some of your many attribution biases.”Christianity” did not save women.

Actually Islam was a progressive religion. It granted women more rights then the other two at the time. Which remained that way up until the 19th century
