In today's Wall Street Journal, columnist Bret Stephens summed up the conundrum that liberals face over multiculturalism.

He sub-titles his column

Quote:In the spirit of Christian charity, Merkel has imported Muslim misogyny.

Hr goes on to note that the sexual assaults in Germany were not a one off but have been seen within other countries in Europe (in another thread, I posted links to news reports of similar attacks in Finland and Sweden), as well as throughout the middle east. Also of note was the cover up of the massive sexual abuse ring in Scotland.

He notes that the Global Gender Gap Report (Link) lists Muslim countries as the greatest deniers of women's rights. He then presents the conundrum as follows:

Quote:Multiculturalism is a liberal fetish that is also the antithesis of liberalism, classical or modern—a simultaneous belief in individual autonomy and cultural equality, irrespective of whether different cultures believe in individual rights or not.
