Multiculturalism / Islamic Jihad


As ISIS the Islamic Jihad movement progress through Iraq and America tries to come to terms with what it can do and what it can afford to do, we have to start to question whether the aim of exporting democracy throughout the world is in any way viable in certain regions.
World peace is not really sustained by intervention and only creates enmity. Of course there is the powerful lobby of financial interest in certain areas of the world as well as resource issues and much of the interventionist motivation comes from this lobby, (Halliburton and their ilk).
What would happen if we drew back within our range of genuine influence and allowed the parts that have very divergent views to ours to go their own way. It would mean that within these boarders dictatorships would form. Vastly differing concepts of right and wrong and the punishments meted out to minorities will have to be ignored and placed under the banner of culture. Perhaps we will have to avert our eyes and minimise reporting from these areas, much as it was in the past, before 24 hour tv, when the evils in the world were someone else's business.
Homogenising people and wishing for everyone to be Politically Correct and Risk Averse is crazy and we should limit our grievances to what we can achieve.
If areas such as the Middle East and Pakistan wish to be left alone then perhaps we should do so but then, it is incumbent on all people from those regions whether they claim to be British or not that they must fall in line with our English based culture and if not, forgo any right to live here. They have a choice and it is not one of being say, a  person from Pakistan living in England but importing every cultural norm into their life here, they must become fully assimilated will all aspects of being British including dropping any pretension to importing their own culture and laws (Shari).
There should be no place for extremism dressed in cultural clothing.
If I wish to live in China I have to accept their laws and norms, if I live in Russia the same, the Islamic States the same and yet we seem to think we can absorb every ones culture and somehow the result will be a strengthening of our own culture.
The only result of this dream has been "resentment" by virtually everyone as people see their own values superseded usually by a minority view in an effort to 'placate', 'appease', and 'pacify'.
As in education, the concept that rubbing people together to produce a better person has been shown to largely have failed as our position on the worlds league table indicates. The average outcome has been a lowering of standards as we placate the under achievers with poor expectations and bring down the concept of high achievement in an attempt to square the circle.
If we can't decide what "we" stand for (ignoring the liberal clammer to explain who the "we" is.) then we are lost. Our leaders are safe in their Establishment Silos, their Public Schools, their Old Boy network, their fenced and guarded properties whilst we have been left to bear the brunt of the grand experiment - Multiculturalism.
